Time will tell wonāt it ? If we do happen to sign him I hope he proves me wrong and is quality scoring 20 + league goals.
Wait until he misses his first penalty for us
Heās a 28-year-old mostly known for his athleticism, 70m & a 4/5 year contract on (probably) close to 200k p/w for a year of his peak performance, maybe 2 if youāre luckyā¦
You rate Lacazette above him?
I dunno, seems like itās a bit harsh on Auba to put it all down to his athleticism, he would seem to have a lot of qualities and a bit more to him than Laca from what Iāve seen, but Iāve barely have watched either of them so Iām not one to opine here.
To be fair it already has, since August 2014 Lacazetteās been involved in 88 goals from 95 starts in the league.
Not for Arsenal in the Premier League carrying the burden of a big price tag it hasnāt, the like of Mateja Kezman had a great goal scoring record also before joining Chelsea.
Auba is probably the better player but Iād prefer Lacazette, ages of our current forwards are already a bit worrying and we have nothing behind them.
Honestly, if I thought either was realistic Iād have preferred a Schick or Iheanacho to Lacazette with larger investment in other areas but as Iāve said previously I doubt City will sell him to us (their refusal to deal without a buy-back already a proving to be an issue for other clubs) and once Juventus got involved Schick was never going anywhere else.
44milās nothing especially in this day and age & Kezman might of flopped at Chelsea but so did Fernando Torres and he tore it up for Liverpool.
Signing Lacazette isnāt going to be that exciting really considering we could have easily had him every summer since about 2013 for even cheaper
And considering heās a French Walcott
Sky Sports reporting our talks now as well
Sky sources mean virtually nothing.
The importance of this deal is quite simply to appease Alexis. If signing lacazette means Sanchez stays, Iām as happy as a pig in you-know-what.
If we managed to keep Alexis and Ozil he would be a very welcomed signing. Think he would flourish with them.
Definitely, but without Alexis itāll be Ozil and Lacazette on its own is underwhelming, only slight upgrade on what we have.
Indeed. I said if both stayed
I donāt see how Ozil - Alexis + Lacazette equals a slight upgrade on what we have tbh.
Iām not sure thatās a downgrade, in that Iād take Lacazette playing as CF over Alexis playing as striker and never being in the actual box.
Obviously Iād rather keep Alexis as left wing or second striker and Lacazette and itād be a lethal partnership with Ozil feeding them.
The casual racism needs to stop, we heard the same with Aubameyang and others. Any black player is āWalcottā, despite having different characteristics.
How about Ozil+Lacazette+Lemar-Alexis = Iād take that to the bank and let Alexis overdribble his way into the sunset.
