Ox is young and i agree he is overrated but flicking betwen walcott and ox should be sufficient. I think Giroud is more like an Adebyor than an RVP but when you have the aforementioned players running off him or playing off him there should be goals in the team.
The problem at the moment is that there are too many utter gash players in the arsenal team. They are not even mediocre like a dempsey or a siggurdsen they are actually detrimental i.e. gervinho, santos, mertesacker,
Yes, detrimental players, been saying this for years, any team can put up with one, even two guys playing crap, when you start getting 3-4 all ruining every attack or screwing up every defensive play... you suck. Arsenal have too many of them, however flicking between Walcott and Ox isn't sufficient. Walcott simply isn't good enough, he can't be relied on in big games at all, and barely in small games. He might nick a goal, but he'll be such little threat throughout a game, so weak, concede position and do so little defensively that a goal isn't enough, you need to dominate big teams to win. Barca will take 70+% posession and sneak a 1-0 eventually just as often as they thrash small teams. Its guys like Walcott who prevent you keeping the ball off the opposition.
Walcott simply isn't and won't ever be good enough, he needs to go, ox may eventually be good enough, he isn't now, he has as many poor games as promising games, even in most of those he doesn't quite do enough... yet. Either we stick with Ox, or rotate Ox and someone else(arshavin or a new winger is fine), Walcott won't ever be good enough.
Giroud could be good enough but, with guys like Walcott, he's lazy and stupid, Giroud could win a header, knock it down, Walcott will be walking near the half way line because he assumed he wouldn't get an easy chance so hasn't even bothered. Santi so far hasn't really followed up into the box enough so far, we need more midfield running late into the box "Lampard" style running from him, FAR too much shooting from 30 yards and mostly being not close.
Ramsey's movement is good, he runs into the box, but his shooting is horrendous, no composure when he blasts it. The one goal he chipped it, rather than "shot" it, when he shoots the crowd needs to duck for cover.
Arsenal's problem is, Wenger thinks Walcott is good enough, that Gervinho is great, that Gibbs/Santos are good enough, that Diaby is great, etc, etc. Its his inability to get rid of the dead wood, or even recognise players who aren't good enough that has hurt us for years. Arshavin is 10 times the player Walcott is, 10 goals, 18 assists, last full season... arbitrarily dropped and insta hate from the fans.
