The 26-year-old joined the Gunners in the summer along with Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla after helping Montpellier to an unexpected league triumph in Ligue 1 last season. And with 14 goals to his name so far, plus 10 assists across all competitions, Giroud believes he is finally starting to settle and prove his doubters wrong that felt he would struggle to replace the Dutchman who left for Old Trafford before the campaign began. "For the first season ... It's better than Van Persie when he arrived here, although when he arrived at Arsenal [2004], he was younger [he was 20]," Giroud told L'Equipe. The club were linked throughout the winter period with moves for both Schalke's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Barcelona's David Villa, but Giroud believes he still retains the faith of manager Arsene Wenger, even if he has admitted to being concerned about the rumours in the past.

The same Mourinho who benched Casillas, Ramos and most of the Spanish contingent in RM? He has been playing a weakened team lately in the la liga.
