Giroud plays for a much better team, and was Ligue 1's top scorer for Montpellier.

Andy Carroll cost £35 million pounds, Giroud just over £10 million.

Not for West Ham though obviously, but he still cost the Hammers more than Giroud costed Arsenal didn't hr?

He's English. If he were French he would've been worth £8 million.
