I just think Welbeck and Giroud are two completely different players who bring different styles to the striker position. I think having both of them healthy will finally give Arsenal different playing options to use against different opponents.

For instance, against teams who insist upon sitting back and soaking up pressure, Giroud might be an option to come on and try to create intricate passes and get on the end of some crosses (See 16 corners against Tottenham). However, games that are more open certainly are asking for Welbeck to play.

We've been begging for diversity in attack for years. I think we finally have it this year once we get some people healthy.

My favorite thing is how young and oddly enough experienced our youngsters are.

Chambers: 19
Bellerin: 19
Ox: 21
Jack: 22
Jenkinson: 22
Ramsey: 23
Welbeck: 23
Sczcesney: 24
Ozil: 25
Walcott: 25
Gibbs: 25
Alexis: 25

That's a decent XI of guys all under 25.

Szcz
Bellerin/Jenks- Chambers - CB? - Gibbs
Jack-Ramsey
Walcott-Ozil-Alexis
Welbz

Ox off the bench or plugged in anywhere in the midfield.

That's a core that should only get better over the next three years, if we keep it together and healthy. Really want Jack and Ramsey to learn to play together in the midfield.
