Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the stats actually back up the theory that perez is better, there is no suggesting about it

Lyon raised the price in August, they would have been willing to sell for £42m in July according to most sources.
Griezmann is a player to compare to. Like look, Perez is pulling similar numbers to a player we all look at as a top forward, there must be something there. Noone actually thinks he's Griezmann level, let alone better.Where?All I said was:
People posted stats trying to make it look like he's better than Griezmann.
What part of that is not true?
That how you compare Lucas Perez to player who similar to him not f**king Griezmann

Regardless of whether we're happy or not, this is the hand we've been dealt by the club so we have to get behind the new players.
I'm not convinced and from the little I've seen I have reservations about both players but I'm glad to admit I've not seen enough of either player so would be more than happy to be proved wrong. I still think United and City are going to be miles ahead of us this year but hope these are the second coming of Tony Adams and Thierry Henry and these guys fire us to the league. The three first teamers signed in Mustafi, Perez and Xhaka all look strong characters and that is definitely what we do need.

Graham Hunter: "Barca wanted Lucas Perez but were told [Wed night] he was en-route to Arsenal - terms were done & it was going to happen."
"Perez is a late developer, he's very, very hungry. He's got goals [in him]. He works very hard. He's aggressive in a sporting sense.
I've posted before about his links to Barca over the last couple of windows:

BS.....Lyon never set a price on Lacazette. Aulas was adamant from the get go that the player was not for sale. This is a story I folloed closely and not once OL ever put a price on Laca.

I posted this before and I guess people thought that I was showing that he's close to Griezmann. It's actually showing that he's just as good as Giroud but he has a different style which fits us better.
He's not Griezmann but he's good enough to displace Giroud.

Vardy played in a title winning side, Perez played in a team that finished 15th... 15th.

Just a quick note...Vardy scored 6 penalties last season , Perez, 1.
We can add that to the comparison as well.
So? That's shows Perez is good player he played at relegation side and still got similar states as Vardy

Why so serieuse?
And we did make a bid for him according to the same sources. Wenger just wasn't willing to go more than £30m for him before checking if other(better?) options were definitely closed.
In fact even with Mustafi I believe we went in with an 18m offer. Then we tried for Gimenez when Valencia demanded 40m and then finally had to settle for Mustafi after AtMadrid demanded 60m for Gimenez.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
I normally think it is a negative as its "easier goals" unfortunately we actually need a penalty taker. Not convinced with anybody taking penalties in our team
Unless you're on the board of directors, there is no way you can definitively say that. What else is he going to say in public?

Not saying it is a negative....It is simply that Vardy padded up his goals with a lot of penalties. I am sure Perez could have done the same if DLC had as many penalties as LCFC.
W/out penalties, they have the exact same goal stats,( Perez has more assists)
He really isn't. Giroud will be startingI posted this before and I guess people thought that I was showing that he's close to Griezmann. It's actually showing that he's just as good as Giroud but he has a different style which fits us better.

Aulas is pretty transparent, that has been his trademark. If a player is for sale, he will make it public and set a price over his head. He has done it over the years.
In Laca's case, it was clear from the get go, he was not going anywhere.
Furthermore, I wrote about this earlier this summer, Laca is their only striker, they are in CL, have a their own brand new stadium, don't need the money, so they had zero incentives to sell. Sometimes, we have ro accept that some players are just not available.
Country: Scotland
Does that mean Perez missed penalties?
As a side note let's not take penalties in or out of any equation. They need to be scored. If we're drawing nil nil 90 minutes gone you get a penalty. You want someone who can handle that pressure. So again. Let's not discount penalties as if they're a foregone conclusion.
