Unfortunately I haven't caught any of the games where Giroud has actually started, just the games where he made 15 minute appearances. But in those games he looked decent.
It'd be hard to even criticise Gervinho upfront given our lack of creativity.

Wenger has a mahossive ego and atm he is out to prove to the world that he is right in employing Gervinho through the middle. Employing Walcott through the middle would mean Wenger admitting his mistake. Hence i do not think Wenger will employ Walcott through the middle. You know when everybody is firing blanks upfront whats the harm in giving Walcott a go? Sadly pragmatism does not work where egos are around.

He's pretty much conceded defeat with Chamakh and Squalacci. If you remember two seasons ago, Wenger experiemented with playing Arshavin upfront. Played once, he did well. Played twice, he was shit... never played again.
... so there are exceptions
