If Giroud is out, should Arsenal use Ramsey as false 9?

As far as strikers are concerned, Arsenal were as good as standing on one leg, and Wenger really missed a trick by failing to sign a striker this summer. There was a lot of time between when Liverpool rejected our £40M offer for Suarez and when the window closed. There was probably sufficient time to have moved quickly to an “easier” target, say, Benteke or Martinez but Wenger waited, and waited, until it was too late. Not bidding for Benteke or Demba Ba, soon after the Suarez bid was rejected seemed to indicate that Wenger would go in with a THIRD offer for Suarez, but John W Henry’s war cries seemed to have completely scared Wenger away. One possibility, which certainly doesn’t seem beyond Wenger, is to make a panic signing of any of the out-of-contract strikers that are hanging around looking for clubs, such as Ciprian Marica, but that will only infuriate Arsenal Fans. Any way, there is some good news with regards to Podolski, with the Mirror reporting that the striker should be fit enough to play a role in the first UCL home game against Napoli. However, it will not be soon enough for the important game against Marseille and Wenger will have to improvise. Akpom is clearly not ready for such a step up, and Bendtner didn’t even make the bench today. The most likely replacement for Giroud, if he fails to shake off his injury, is Walcott, but that would probably mean both Miyaichi and Gnabry have to start, which doesn’t feel right. One option for Wenger, and especially since we have so many midfield players, is to use a False 9 against Marseille, and maybe even against Stoke City. We’ve seen midfield players like Fabregas and Arshavin play as strikers and it is certainly something for Wenger to consider in this crisis moment. Out of all our midfielders, it’s the Jack of all trades – ah no, not that Jack – Ramsey, that will be most suited for this role. He has shown he is able to put the ball in the back of the net and is easily our most adaptable player. Best of all, he is very good positionally so we are unlikely to see him dropping too deep into midfield if he were to be assigned that role. The other players whom I feel could do very well are Cazorla and Oxlade-Chamberlain, but sadly, both players are injured. If Giroud doesn’t make it against Marseille whom would you like to see play up front for Arsenal? If we were to use the False 9, whom would you like to see play that role?
