Valbuena is our Giovanni dos Santos - better for France than l'OM.
That's because his team mates in Marseilles are so far off his level that there's no one to complement him properly.
On another note, Matuidi is a top player. It's been apparent for the last two seasons that this is a guy Wenger truly missed out on. Could have signed him for peanuts when he played for St Etienne and Comolli was their sporting director but Wenger passed on the opportunity. Very strange in hindsight considering Wenger's fondness of Ligue 1 bargains and our almost permanent need for a DM.
But Giroud has been the best player on the pitch. That assist for Valbuena's goal was epic!
