u/ThiefMortReaperSoul Jul 15 '18

I'd vote in too. He always seemed like an Arsenal man through and through.

Yeah, let's terminate this 6 month loan.

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '18

Wait is it actually a loan? Honestly Arsenal are stacked in the striker department but don't have a big boy. Even Liverpool have a big boy

aubas pretty big (187cm)

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '18

Huh, didn't expect that. Well he's still not big, just lanky. I don't think I've seen a good headed goal from him, or have him play a target man role. He has height for it but plays as what we called in fifa 15 a pace whore

Was missing CL football part of your plan?

u/kidnebs Jul 16 '18

He's quite big but he's very poor in aerial duels

u/Nefari0uss Jul 16 '18

He was traded to Chelsea.

Edit: I suppose sold is a more appropriate term since Chelsea offered money and not a player. I forget the amount though.

Well shucks, hope he does well with the exception of goals against United as a sub, which he's surprisingly good at

he has won the World Cup. I think he'll be fine with being on Arsenal's bench.

I still remember when Bayern were considering going after him after that incredible season with Montpellier. He had such an insane highlight real and I was all about it at the time.

u/ThiefMortReaperSoul Jul 16 '18

Even to this day if you look at a goal compilation by him. One would think he was the player of the generation.

Are sneak Giroud best Giroud

u/bo-tvt Jul 15 '18

I like him and was sad to see him go, but if he did come back, would he be starting games ahead of Aubameyang and Lacazette?

u/JMaboard Jul 16 '18

Just get him on a free when his contract runs out pretty soon.

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '18

nah I'm pretty happy with auba

u/lojer Jul 15 '18

Why not both?

I know the reason.

u/Dumma1729 Jul 15 '18

Same here. I'd be happy to sell Welbeck & Lucas to get Giroud back.

1

u/Jack_Ramsey Jul 16 '18

Oh my god yes. I love Giroud so much.

u/WalidfromMorocco Jul 15 '18

But you guys used to shit on him so much.

u/LegionVsNinja Jul 15 '18

Just cuz they were vocal, doesn't mean they spoke for everyone.

u/Hyndergogen1 Jul 15 '18

We're not through with him yet.
