Really needed that linkup play though.
The irony in people blaming Laca and Auba yet no criticism on invisible Odegaard today.
Honestly forgot Ćdegaard played today.
Iām not giving him blame for today, we got trounced that fucking bad in midfield the bloke never really had an opportunity to get into the game at all.
Never left
Likely that Laca gets called up again then. Needs to keep up his good form and finish the season strong.
This will boost the fee we will sell him for too.
I was going to reply with this exact emoji, but to be fair to Lacazette heās scored a few goals recently which is good for him, and he had the one good game the other day.
I reckon France will even go with the some talented youngster over Lacazette, they really donāt seem to rate it when it comes to the national team.
Fabrizio Romano revealed in his podcast that last summer Atalanta received a 40m offer for Duvan Zapata and they rejected it. He reckons it would require 40-50m again for them to consider selling him. He is 30 now and has 2 years in his contract left.
My point here is, Lacazette is a better player than this guy and has PL experience to go with it too. The striker market always has demand so we really need to take advantage of this.
Zapata is better than Lacazette. Iām not even sure itās particularly close either. He scores a far greater variety of goals.
If he wasnāt 29/30 Iād be screaming for his transfer. Heās not worth Ā£40m at this stage but if he blossomed younger than heād have been worth the kind of sum that Chelsea paid for Werner.
Lacazette is not unfamiliar with scoring a variety of goals.
Lacazette would be bossing it Serie A like he did in Ligue 1.
He didnāt boss it in Ligue 1 he scored a tonne of penalties. And he wouldnāt boss it in Serie A because heās incapable of fashioning his own chances. Lacazette is a limited striker.
So can Lacazette though.
He is a very good striker which is why so many sides have been following him over the years.
I think he was averaging 20 none penalty league goals per season in Ligue 1
Heās not a very good striker. A very good striker doesnāt get you 12-15 league goals a season.
But tbf you donāt know how many Zapata would be getting in the PL.
Similar numbers to Zapata then. In a worse league mind you, with a side thatās doing better than Arsenal in the league.
That doesnāt change the fact that I can tell you for free heās a better striker than Lacazette who stinks the joint out on a weekly basis, is slow and offers next to nothing except ādropping deepā to allegedly bring others into play.
Zapata is a late bloomer and heās much more rounded than Laca is. Iād take him over Lacazette any day of the week
