Thierry Henry-managerial debut at Bordeaux

It's not for me to say, but i never understood the logic of selling Olivier Giroud to Chelsea. Time and again, i saw him coming on as a sub late on in the game and scoring important goals for the club. He signed for Arsenal in 2012 as a 26 year old and from what i saw of him, he was a powerful striking force.

I would have been tempted to have made him a focal point of the team in later years and build a new team around his talents.
Having said that, it is just the view of an outsider. It may be that Arsenal fans will know of a reason why that was not possible or even desirable.

I suspect that John may have some thoughts of this entire sequence of events if he ever finds time to read this when he returns from holiday.
