Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud admits frustration with lack of goals since joining the club: 'It's not enough'
That was confirmed to him when Robert Pires and Freddy Ljungberg told him it was time to move on in his career.
That's pretty much how Giroud sees it too. If I signed to Chelsea, it's to have a new challenge. As quoted by L'Equipe (via Goal), Giroud criticised his start to life at Chelsea.
He continued: "When you sign like that in January, it's never easy because you have to acclimatise yourself to the team".
"I replied: "Of course, it is that or nothing, even if there is (Robin) Van Persie, the star of the club because I know I will have my chance".
Giroud moved from Arsenal to Chelsea on transfer deadline day in January for a fee of £15 million to get more game-time at the home of the Premier League champions. The goals have been slower to come, though.
"The coach put me in from the second match, and that put me at ease".
"But overall, I repeat, it is very encouraging".

Japan regulator warns cryptocurrency exchange over unregistered operations
Binance has not yet commented on the regulatory statement. "Our lawyers alled JFSA immediately, and will find a solution. The agency is also demanding security overhauls on exchanges that are yet to be registered.
During the January transfer window, Giroud left Arsenal for the Blues and although the French worldwide has been involved on a regular basis, the forward's only goal has come in the FA Cup against Hull City.
He may be frustrated by his lack of production, but the truth is that he started interchanging with Hazard and Willian like he's been playing with them for years.
The 31-year-old attacker used to find the net on a regular basis for the Gunners and has been critical of his own performances for Chelsea.
No doubt it also helps that he was given a warm welcome at Chelsea. The centre-forward said, "I should have scored more goals".
"My agent asked me if I was sure I wanted to go to Arsenal". When he plays it looks like he has a real appetite for the game.
"We can be made to play with Eden up front but it is very rare and it really hasn't borne fruit".
