Anyone in particular? Seems like there's a dearth of mobile front men not already at a big club - with one or two exceptions.

He would've been expensive but I think we could have afforded him. I think it was more a case of not really needing him fo that kind of money. Giroud looks like the backup option to me, Robin or no Robin. It's still too early to draw any major conclusions but I don't think Wenger has been playing Gervinho and Podolski like this by accident. It looks like he's reverting to 4-6-0 to me, with the target man as a squad option when we need a bit of aerial advantage and better hold-up play. Suits me just fine if that's the case.
Seems like it, Wenger said he wanted to play Gervinho as a striker since pre-season.
