Also given Giroud is going to get rested post-Euros, we need someone to start when the season begins. If that's Walcott, I'm not optimistic. And I've been a pretty avid Walcott supporter. I just tend to be realistic these days in that he's not good enough there.

One plays with his back to goal and the other does nothing but run in a straight line. We need a striker with a nose for the goal and is not so predictable.

Go watch our games from the early part of last season. Walcott looked more than serviceable as a striker against Man U, Leicester, and others. In the ten games before his injury against Sheffield Weds. he had 5 goals and 3 assists. His style of play fits in extremely well with what both Alexis and Ozil like to do. We are a more fluid side with him in the team.
His confidence is the issue, not his ability. He had a poor half-season after returning from injury, that I won't deny, but to pretend he isn't good enough is forgetting how good he can be. The injury issue wasn't really his fault either, as he had a muscle injury after being thrown on in a League Cup game where he didn't have time to warm up properly.
For me, he's a more than serviceable forward. When he's confident, which he was for years before his ACL, he is as good a wide player as there is in the league. His stats back this up.
