No. Walcott is now their most reliable goalscorer (<laugh>), and Podolski is used to playing in that sort of a setup for Koln. Cazorla is best on the left, and Chamberlain is a whole lot better than Gervinho. I don't really see a problem.

Giroud should start. He did miss a sitter yesterday but he got in really good positions and you can tell he is a proper striker, not like Podolski. I'm sure that if he would have started the game yesterday and played the full 90, he would have had many more chances to score.
Cazrola, has played most of his career on the left but he sees a lot more of the ball in the middle and that is only a good thing and even though I like Chamberlain more than Gervinho, Gervinho was one of Arsenal's best players yesterday.

You don't rate Podolski? I think he's easily their best striker now. Anyhow, if I was manager I'd play him or Giroud, or both, in a 4-4-2. I thought Gervinho made a lot of good dribbles, but ended up in dead ends and never released the ball when he should have. He doesn't look like he'll create many goals this season. Chamberlain is far more deadly.

As for Cazorla, I don't like the idea of signing a player of such quality and then not playing him in his best position. He can be a genius on the flanks, and Arsenal could do with someone who can cross the ball.

It's not that I don't rate Podolski but I don't think he shouldn't be playing as the only striker. If Arsenal were to play 4-4-2, then a partnership of Giroud and Podolski could work, but I don't see that happening because Wenger would never play that system.
I think Gervinho was less selfish than ever yesterday as he often looked to lay it off to someone, after getting past a few players. I think the problem with Gervinho though is that he is very inconsistent; yesterday he was very good but next week he could be awful.
In my opinion Cazorla's best position is in the middle. Practically every time Arsenal attacked it originated from a Cazrola pass and I think Arsenal will get much more out of him in that position than on the wing.
 
Putting this thread back on topic and one of the fellows on radio Solent says that "it sounds like the ramirez deal has has stalled today" is that a reference to the negotiations on Monday or have weirded something?
