As far as I'm concerned my point still stands.
Despite your stats, have players like Negredo and Dzeko contributed as much to the overall position of their team in the league as Giroud has? What are their assists/key passes stats?
I personally wouldn't list Oscar and Rooney as a striker and what about the other (real) strikers in my list ?
I have to disappoint you, most of them also beat Giroud in assists (don't have any quick source about "key pass stats" and I'm not in the mood to crawl hours on some football statistics page )
Assists per minute:
Özil 111,66 Apm (Midfielder not fair but a Gunner ) EDIT: CORRECTED 335min / 3 assists not 4
Dzeko 146 Apm
Cisse 175 Apm
Walcott 178,5 Apm (Winger not fair but a Gunner )
Aguero 208,25 Apm
Negredo 211,5 Apm
Rooney 239,5 Apm
Lukaku 258 Apm
Ramsey 299,5 Apm (Midfielder not fair but a Gunner )
Giroud 302,5 Apm
Sturridge 313,5 Apm
Remy 329 Apm
Soldado 508 Apm (still not fair cause first PL season has to settle)
Toure 630Apm
Rest didn't make an assist in the PL so far or I made a mistake.
