A player who seems to divide opinion. He has today reached premier league goals in an Arsenal shirt and joins the esteemed list of players like Henry, Bergkamp, Wright, Walcott, Pires and Van Persie. Take a bow Olivier Giroud. please log in to view this image
Fair play to the handsome bastard, he really has stepped it up lately. With him also taking the pens now, he could easily score 25 plus for the season.
He could reach 100 goals in total for us by next season, he has 75 in total now, I expect at least another 10 goals minimum from him this season, so that's 85 going into next season, and he always gets 15+ goals for us every season, so by next season he will reach that major milestone of 100 goals for Arsenal. Walcott should be hitting that number soon as well, next season most likely as well. That would be something nice, 2 players to reach 100 goals for Arsenal in the same season.
Santi is quite good too in fairness. Against Norwich he just slipped which can happen to anyone. *cough* Terry *cough*. Fair play to Ollie though. That's apparently the third fastest it's been done after Terrence and Wright so not too shabby. Clearly he divides opinion and he'll never be the best counter-attacking player in the world but I do quite like seeing an old skool centre forward at work. Whether you think he should start the majority of games he's a cracking option to have in your team. Plus, he's second only to Henry for being able to find a camera right after scoring and pulling a bit of Blue Steel. Some people will never have that spatial awareness...
I can't fault the guy, he's a likeable and hard working guy. He's also been delivering so you can't ask for much. Let's hope he GIroud-Walcott partnership continues to be fruitful and helps us win the title!
