The french man was targeted and blamed as one of the major reasons arsenal title challenge wilted. The talk of bringing in a new striker who could score 20 goals in the league was what supporters wanted as pressure mounted on arsene wenger to sign a striker heightened. Giroud was part of the France squad that went to the euros final and was even booed as fans thought he was not good enough to replace benzema. He eventually had a good euros scoring three goals and starting the final but on returning to arsenal he had lost his place to Sanchez as the clubs no 1 striker.
There were speculations that he was looking to move away from the emirates in a cash plus swap deal with higuain but a move never really materialised as higuain eventually joined juventus in a mammoth deal. Injuries has also played its own part in the giroud saga but the outstanding performance of sanchez in the central role has ensured he still remained on the sidelines.
However he made a case for himself after scoring the equaliser against united with a thumping header and showed his frustration by not celebrating the goal. in truth that was their only shot on target in the whole game and should have lost if not for giroud who salvaged a crucial point for the gunners in what was a hugely anonymous evening. The french man has created a knack for scoring after being introduced in a game and now holds the record of scoring the most goals as a substitute in an arsenal shirt. He started his first game this season against west brom and rewarded wenger's faith with a goal in the dying stages of the match. Personally, i think he and sanchez can play together.
He has different attributes to sanchez which can benefit arsenal. He holds the ball well up the pitch and can bring in other attacking players into play with his slick touches and layoffs. The sooner wenger starts playing giroud the better for arsenal.
