Alexandre Lacazette: Laca the Net

[BBF]

Proper witch-hunt out here

 

[kraphtous]

Don't see what he offers more than Nketiah right now, give him some games.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Worried about the pressure building on him now Alexis is leaving. He’ll literally be our only goal threat bar the odd Özil/Ramsey goal.
Bad times

He arrived in good form and looks like an efficient striker that usually hits the target until recently. Wenger has managed to drain his confidence and generally annoyed him for no good reason with constant substitution.

Maybe he is trying to remould him into a 2nd Welbeck.

Seriously worried. If we lose Sanchez and Walcott, this guy is under huge pressure.

Besides RVP and Henry, I can't think of one striker in recent times who Wenger has actually improved.

The argument that Lacazette isn’t good enough for Arsenal because Mourinho didn’t sign him is genuinely one of the worst opinions I’ve ever read on here.

Even aside from Mourinho’s extremely questionable eye for attacking talent, and aside from the premise that the only reason why United didn’t try to sign Lacazette is because he’s not good enough (as opposed to wanting a different type of CF, or Lacazette not being keen on the move), he ended up signing Romelu Lukaku.

Wenger has never shown any interest in Lukaku, despite the lad begging to join a big club for the past few years and us being desperate for a CF. Does that mean that Lukaku isn’t good enough for United?

Such bargain basement posting in here sometimes.

Frankly, Lacazette hasn't shown enough. We criticised Giroud for his lack of pace and finishing. Lacazette has not yet translated his Ligue 1 form over.

We have spent 50 million...think we should just force feed the ball to him at every opportunity. That way there won't be any excuses.

Earlier in the season the United camp came out and said they looked at Lacazette and passed on him. Most on here took that as Mourinho vs Wenger but all the things they mentioned way back when is happening

Mourinho also did the same exact thing with Vardy, a player he's now apparently looking at signing. He's a ****ing **** whose opinion shouldn't be given any importance, especially when it comes to Arsenal.

Giroud.

 

[Camus]

I hope we sign Fekir in the summer. He's an excellent player in his own right but he linked up very well with Lacazette at Lyon.

 

[TriniGunner]

Giroud.

I stand corrected...Love the guy!

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Giroud.

How bad was he before then?

 

[GDeep™]

Adebayor has never shown the form he did for us. So you can say Wenger has at least improved 3 of our last 4 starting strikers, what more do you want?

 

[Mark Tobias]

Can't believe how much slack this guy is getting. His form isn't great but he hasn't been a flop. Quite clearly a player that needs his confidence managed and I do not feel Wenger is doing him any favours by taking him off. FFS, why can't we put two up top for certain games.

Still truly feel he will be great for us. How many strikers come into this league and tear it up immediately?

 

[Arsenal1508]

What is the big deal of taking Lacazette off at 70 minutes? He doesn't seem to have the stamina to last 90 min Premier League football.
If he doesn't show any signs of life in the first half or the beginning of the 2nd half...take him off.
I just wished we could bring on a player like Eddie Nketiah (should have give more chances have his double heroics).

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Signing a player, starting him in nearly every game, helping him to start games for France, constantly praising him etc is sabotaging/destroying him?

Mate Wenger only signed him so he could show him up and embarrass him, probably so him and his boyfriend Giroud can laugh at poor Lacazette who'd have about 50 goals if not subbed off before the 70th minute. #TinFoilHat

There's definitely a great striker in there. It just hasn't clicked for him yet but I agree that the pressure will ramp up if Alexis goes this month. Hope he steps up.
