A Quote by Olivier Giroud

We don't have the money of the Manchester clubs or Chelsea. Arsenal builds its team through training, through recruiting players who can become something. Arsenal has less money than some other clubs, so we have to fight with other values.
With Arsenal there was an interest but not a big as other clubs. That is why I didn't go to Arsenal and went to Chelsea.
In a team like Manchester City, Arsenal, and other big clubs, it's quite difficult just to have the same 11 players starting every week.
Arsenal do not have money to spend, so they are gambling on young players. Arsenal are obliged to sell their best players and bet on youth - but what counts is having a team, great players, and a solid squad to win titles.
I admire Arsenal and the philosophy that the young players have. Liverpool, with their Spanish players, they also have an incredible squad. And Manchester United and Chelsea are teams that are very big, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with money and incredible players.
Arsenal is a club that likes to bring through young players, that's something that always gets the fans excited, to see someone from home come and play for the first-team. I think that's something that every team should do. The fact that Arsenal does it a lot and that I'm one of them, I'm really proud.
Some players are bought by other clubs with an eye to them developing into something special in a few years' time. Whereas there's a bit more pressure on some of the other clubs to bring in players who are going to be hitting the ground running and top players verging on world class almost immediately.
I know the questions will be around the money, the amount Chelsea had to spend to bring him here but that's the reality of modern football. Big teams only want big players, big players are in big clubs, big clubs want to keep their big players.
The only thing Chelsea and Manchester City have in common is the fact that both clubs have a lot of money.
The English clubs Arsenal and Manchester United focus on continuity with the same coaches for years.
Chelsea are the team who can break the Arsenal and Manchester United monopoly.
Remember every team wants to beat Chelsea, probably even more than Manchester United or Arsenal because they believe we have an unfair advantage.
Thinking back to how it fell apart for Mourinho at Chelsea, I do have some sympathy for him. At most clubs it is the manager who determines the long-term stability of the players but at Chelsea it seems very much the other way round.
Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.
I don't follow football, I just love the name Aston Villa. Here in England you have other footballing entities like Manchester and Arsenal and Chelsea
With the big clubs embracing women's football and the professionalism you see at the likes of Liverpool, Birmingham, Arsenal and my club Chelsea, it's really impressive. We're making great strides.
Many young players tell you that they want to play for Manchester United or Arsenal. My dream was to play for Arsenal and I realised it. When I arrived, I thought: 'Wow, I'm here!'
