I think his style suits Atletico because they're very versatile with there approach. They can play defensive and on the counter or the slick passing game with fast attacks. They change gears quickly and it's why he works for them. In fact, I don't think he's a bad player, he'll probably slot into most teams, but under Wenger I'm not so sure. Giroud looked a different player from what I've seen of the clips when he was in France. He's so different under this current system.

Arsenal have made an enquiry to Bayern Munich for Javi Martinez, with Arsene Wenger having made a new central midfielder one of his two key transfer priorities this summer.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Lars Bender is also prominent among Arsenal’s midfield targets but, with Martinez having struggled to command a regular place in Pep Guardiola’s new Bayern team, Wenger wants to know whether the Bundesliga champions would be willing to sell.
Martinez, who was part of the Spain squad that won both the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championship, only joined Bayern two years ago in what was a club record £32 million deal. He still has a further three years remaining on his contract at Bayern but sources in Germany have suggested that the 25-year-old is unhappy with his role under Guardiola. Martinez was one of the first names on the team-sheet when Bayern won their treble in 2012-13 under Jupp Heynckes but did not start either Champions League semi-final match against Real Madrid.
Despite Martinez’s own preference for midfield, Guardiola has also experimented with him in the centre-back role he once played for Atletico Bilbao. Martinez himself has admitted that his role has “changed somewhat” this season. “I don’t have as much freedom on the field anymore,” he said. “I don’t get forward as often and my game is a little more static. The coach [Guardiola] believes that I can play in any of the central positions and I’ll play where I’m needed.”
Although Mikel Arteta has performed with admirable consistency over these past three seasons, Wenger wants to add a commanding midfield presence this summer to play alongside Aaron Ramsey, who has been his outstanding player.
I guess we don't need a striker then.
Don't forget we have Diaby who can crock there.Quote:

That's a shit load for an 18 year old, but on the other hand it's probably left back (or left wing) sewn up for a few years. And it is less than Fellaini.
