We already have Ozil who has a free role and does near zero defensive duties. If Podolski gets a free role too we will have massive gaping holes at the back for the opposition to exploit. We cannot afford the luxury of having two men with license to roam free at will. I am a fan of Walcott but he too is not the greatest at tracking back. If all three of our forwards are not going to contribute defensively it will put enormous amount of pressure on defence. Podolski is a solid option at the back but he needs to do some defensive work especially when Gibbs is on the overlap. No team can afford to give more than single player playing the free role. Our strength this year has been organization and defensive solidity i would not compromise that at any cost. Ozil is our star player playing in the hole and he rightfully has the free role, we simply cannot afford to put another player on a free roaming role.
