His recent form is why I wanted him, he would suit our current set up.
Now he's on the verge of signing a new contract with Wenger, 8 assists or not, he's gone back to a headless chicken.
Giroud and Podolski will eventually push him back out wide once he commits.
With the trophyless clamour gaining ground this season, I can see them buying more firepower, even though the Villa rumour has been dampened, which would push his 'down the centre' wet dream further out wide and into more headlessness.
