As soon as he arrived at Chelsea the other players vibed with him. He brings another dimension that Giroud did not personality-wise. Ask yourself why Giroud wasn't starting more games if he was such a good fit for them.
As for losing Giroud, they let him go to AC Milan. If they really wanted to keep him they would have.

Giroud has been terrible for a while now. Lukaku is in his prime.
