Such crap, I know you are just regurgitating commonly repeated falsehoods but Dzeko and Negredo are similar players who won the league with Man City last year. Plus didn't Giroud just beat a man in the air on the weekend to score an equaliser?
Dzeko and Negredo are both better, plus they also have Aguero.
Giroud really is one dimensional. Knack of scoring goals but his all round game isn't the best.
He's a very good one touch player. A good wall to play passes off and good finishing with his head and feet in the box.
Like you say though, pretty one dimensional. Never gonna get away from a player or create his own chances. Not somebody you want in possession outside of the box much. I don't even dislike Giroud that much, he's good at what he does, but I can imagine it pisses Arsenal fans off who know how much better the likes of Ozil and Cazorla would look with a more complete striker infront of them.
