It'll be a bit clunky at times, but he's going to score more than any of the others. Giroud has had four years. He's never going to get 25-30 league goals. The penalty situation is silly though. It's Santi's job all day long.

That's my fear. The Per and Gabby injuries meant we had to spend £40m on a CH. Had Kos been fit from the start and/or Gabby not injured, I'd have been happy with Holding as 4th choice and Chambers as 5th.
But moving Alexis central means we either needed a decent striker or goal scoring/creating winger. Instead of Perez and Mustafi, I'd rather have spent the £60m on one of those. Pay for Mkhitaryan or Mahrez or that Abumyang chap (however he's spelled.)
That would have improved the starting XI. Instead, he's bought 2 MFs since Jan (El-neny and Granit) who seem to both be behind Coq in the pecking order. So we've spent close to £100m and all we seem to have done is given ourselves some extra cover at CH.
And given Holding cost just £2 mil, Callum seems to have been a pricey signing.
The only striker you've got there is Aubemwotsit, the others are midfielders. He didn't want to come. The others in that league would have been Higuain, Benzema, Cavani (ahem!) and little else. And there isn't really a suggestion any of them were that keen on us.
I think that's why he went for Vardy.
If he wasn't such a despicable human being a cheeky bid for Costa might have succeeded.
Hopefully Iwobi, too. He wasn't that successful vs PSG, but he had a hand in two goals today.
Hi backheel to Feo was perfect and had another shot really well saved, which Ozzy should have scored following up. Feo scored one, helped with two and crossed for the penalty.
btw was it Coq who had the shot which was handballed? If so, that's so unfair. He deserves a goal for us.
