Looking at David Moyes' comments in the Evening Standard it seems that he still regards Javier Hernandez as an alternative to Arnautovic as a lone striker and a great player to come on and nick a goal. It proved effective at Chelsea where Javier netted his eighth goal of the season, but the problem is Chicharito has a big ego and wants to start, so he could well be off in the summer. Having waited years to sign a natural striker it seems careless to allow one to leave.
Moyes points out that Arnie and Chicharito both started against Swansea and that didn't go well. But in the Watford home match it seemed to work, and we really need to try to work on a system that gets them both in the same side. Moyes was clearly happier with two strikers who worked really hard up front in Antonio and Arnie earlier in the season, but Chicharito has also added workrate to his game this season.
Perhaps the key is both surviving and then playing four at the back next season once some better players are signed. If we let him go there would be a lot of rivals after Chicharito's signature and no team does well without a natural poacher.

Not many teams in our position could afford to leave Hernandez out, Arnie and Chico up front v Stoke!!
Yes, I think we should go for it. Fernandes was disappointing at Chelsea so I would keep Chicharito in...
