Arsenal fans want £18m striker to return and suggest £52m striker should have been offloaded instead

Arsenal supporters have taken to the internet to hammer manager Arsene Wenger for permitting France international Olivier Giroud to leave for Chelsea last month.

Decent signing for Chelsea

The FIFA Puskas Award winner has shown his quality at Stamford Bridge since he left Arsenal to their City rivals in the winter transfer window.

The French striker played an important role in the Blues Emirates FA Cup victory on Friday night against Hull City.

Antonio Conte’s men thrashed English Championship club Hull City 4-0 at the Bridge with the former Arsenal striker looking pretty good and lively throughout the encounter.
The striker even scored a goal for his new side in the 42nd minute and made a couple of assists.

Fans left frustrated

Arsenal faithful’s were left frustrated by the striker’s display and took to Twitter to hammer the French tactician for allowing the big forward to leave the North London outfit.

Considering Giroud’s impressive displays, the reported transfer fee of £18m that Antonio Conte and Chelsea paid for him is now looking good on the bargain.

Further, some supporters did not stop at that with their heavy criticism of Arsene Wenger’s transfer policies.

Arsenal even claimed that it should have rather been France international striker Alexandre Lacazette to leave the Emirates Stadium last month. Lacazette has heavily struggled since completing a switch to Arsenal for £52.7million in the summer transfer window and supporters feel that the forward is better off sold.
