Yup. He scored 14 League goals in his first season ;).
Haha, okay Iâll amend my comment. He needs to score more than 15 league goals. I mean wow Wenger is the fucking King. He got this dood firing in 14 goals in a season he was carrying a knee injury, Emery had him healthy all year and couldnât pull that much out of him.
Nice try but once he scores 15 youâll say he needs to score 16.
He should be competing for the Golden Boot tbf.
Lacazette has been a bad buy. We get it. By your guy Wenger nonetheless.
I never said Lacazette was a bad buy, but Iâve honestly never seen a striker that is so widely celebrated yet scores so few goals, and basically plays a supportive role in the team.
Drogba comes to mind.
Drogba had a couple of seasons he hit 20 + league goals did he not ?
Only twice in his time at Chelsea.
Twice more than Laca will ever have for Arsenal.
Think even Wenger would say Lacazette is a better striker than Drogba.
He called Drogba not world class, but âefficientâ. While it seemed a little churlish, I can see what Wenger meant. Lacazette looks to be able to offer more than Drogba, and that was something that was clearly in Wengerâs head when he signed him
Donât think Wenger rated Laca that much. Sure, he mightâvw thought he was a great player but not elite.
He should be aiming to score at least 20 league goals this season. Heâs too good not achieve that.
Agreed, despite absolutely loving the player, his stats does go against him.
Should be able to score more this season barring a striker preference which is unlikely
We should be ok without him for the next couple of fixtures though
Heâs one of our best players and our best big game player. This is not good news
Europa League and League Cup fixtures promise to become more awkward. I guess John-Jules and Balugun will have to get more game time as we canât play Aubameyang, can we?
Nelson, Martinelli and Saka
We got this.
