Anyone can search the archives and see how upset I was that Giroud signed with that lot. I obviously don't watch enough of him since he's come over to know precisely why he's "shit", but you don't accidentally score a hatful on the way to winning Ligue 1 (though iirc, a large proportion of his goals, in compared to Hazard's, who was second in the league that year, were from the spot). He's also looked sharp for France.
Bold prediction: picking him up before the WC is a better idea than after. I love, love, LOVE watching France bottle it in tournaments, but they should treat the rest of their group like a bunch of masked men treat an eastern Ukrainian municipal building.
