I agree. Tbh, although Giroud has been fantastic and has contributed a lot to our build up play, I still wouldn't put him in the WC bracket as he's just not clinical enough for me. If we could've manged to get Ozil and Suarez in the summer we could possibly be quite ahead right now. I'm not at all bothered by Giroud's nose being put out of joint by the arrival of another (hopefully WC) option.
I wonder if you had gotten Suarez whether Wenger would have went for Ozil, Suarez is not a #9, he plays in a free role behind the striker and would occupy one of the 3 positions behind Giroud IMO. Obviously if you can get a world class striker and Giroud is happy to play a bench role then it would be fine, I just wonder if he'd be keen on that given he's coming into his peak years and has now nabbed the main Center Forward role for France.
