Arsenal: Make Plans To Offload Giroud And Sign Bundesliga Ace With 14 Goals

Arsenal got smashed by Everton yesterday, which has sparked debate whether the Gunners will indeed hold onto fourth place. Although the north London side led the Premier League for some time this season they are now struggling to contain their hold on Champions League football, and the fans are starting to panic.

A major issue has been the lack of options up top. Olivier Giroud has led the line for the entire season but he is not the man to win the Gunners the title. His movement is poor, his link up play is questionable and he is one of the slowest players in the team. I would start making plans to get rid of him in the summer.

The man I would suggest comes in to replace him, his Robert Firmino of Hoffenheim. He's not an out and out striker, but I think that would work to the Gunners' advantage.

He can play in the hole or on the wings, and can lead the line, and has 14 goals to his name in the Bundesliga this season.

He also has 10 assists, which is pretty good going considering his club are mid-table.

Gooners, do you agree? Arsenal should get rid of Giroud and look to sign Firmino.

I think it is a very good idea to let Giroud go, he is just an average player, Arsenal should buy a top striker. Infact they are so many players who are not doing well, but they are being protected by Wenger. Those average players will not make any miracle forget about it. Buy good quality players like any other big teams. Arsenal and its board should not have much love of money, those who are paying the most expensive tickets to watch football need to be considered first.

Giroud is not fit to play in the premier league. He lacks pace and never able to come and get the ball. Just allow another to play in his place like Sanogo or Ozil for exampe as last Ozilplayed u would be amazed how things turn the right way.
ramsey has been out for 3 months nearly and only giroud scored just 5 goals more , not to mention Walcott. had both been there Goals scored would have been very high. How
ever it s true that with the of Merte. there is no deep penetration and would nearly get the ball. get anothor striker and Arsenal will restart winning.

Is the title deliberately misleading or just cumsy?

Giroud is very good but he's tired and missing half the midfield he needs to supply him. Arsenal need someone as well as Giroud, not in place of him.
