If Giroud plays, there is no space for another striker.

That is all.
Yes.

But I'm not understanding this out-wide versus upfront stuff. None of the front 6 hold any shape in this system. They did last season with Walcott out wide assisting for the traditional CF, Van Persie. But now everyone just do what they want. But in this 4-6-0 stuff, you can't carry 'defensive passengers'; everyone has to defend as well. Walcott can so it's not an issue - can easily see him slotting in place of Gervinho. Arshavin and Giroud don't fit in though. Right now, I can't see why we've signed Giroud. Could've got another Spanish midget in which would've helped us 10 times more.

This is similar to the Verm, Kos, Mert situation (but not as good). Don't know why anyone would be outraged when they see a team and one of them is not in it. They're all roughly the same overall but have different qualities that they bring. It's not as if we've had awful results overall and the fact that most Arsenal fans seem to be tipping ourselves to beat the league-leaders on the weekend suggest we're liking the side.
