Funny you should wonder about that Rex. It's similar to the way you persistently insist you prefer Welback to Giroud even though it's obvious the Frenchman is the key to balance and effectiveness in our attack.
People just prefer a certain style (or mold of player), and want to see it implemented without giving much consideration to how it might adversely affect the team.
I think you will find that I have not in at least two months said anything other than Welbeck being a backup to Giroud. I have high hopes for Welbeck, but at this point in time Giroud is easily the more effective of the two. I have, however, said that I think it is stupid to play them both, and I'd much rather see Welbeck on the bench. Have him play every third or fourth game, but as a striker. I think he is a useful player on the flank, but I also think that if he is to be of real use to us, then it is going to be as a striker.
