Alexandre Lacazette: Laca the Net

[SomGooner]

Might have a chance if PEA is injured for more than half a season

@ me at the end of the season. If PEA goes down (God forbid) in any period of time then my statement is invalid.

He’ll score more goals this coming season than a healthy PEA, is that better?

I hope you are right. This forum will be doing mental cartwheels all summer long...
Either way, we just want goals, goals and more goals from them!

That’s not even taking into account how much better Lacazette is at holding the ball up and linking up play. You don’t get any of that with PEA up front.

What the **** are you talking about?

 

[Football Manager]

Look at the team as a whole. PEA will score wherever he plays and would probably get 20-30 goals (talking league here) playing on the wing and Lacazette will score the same amount playing up front. Would I rather that or PEA scoring 25-35 playing up front and Mkhitaryan scoring 5-10 on the wing? I know which I prefer. That’s not even taking into account how much better Lacazette is at holding the ball up and linking up play. You don’t get any of that with PEA up front.

lacazette’s linking play is overrated, he’s nothing more than just a great finisher.

I can't for the life of me understand why some on this forum don;t want this... I loved it. We looked dangerous EVERY single time we got the ball.

Some people want to see Laca fail, because they never wanted him here. They see the purchase of Aubameyang as a justification of their point. First claiming it was a "horrible news" situation for Lacazette. Then the bromance happened. Then claiming moving Aubameyang out wide would destroy his potential. Meanwhile the guy has put up great numbers from out wide while providing the width, depth and speed we are so desperately looking for. Lacazette likes to drop deep and combine, creating space up front for Aubameyang to exploit.

You’re a dopey ****.

Lacazette is clearly the better player in terms of holding the ball up and linking up play. A lot better. The irony here is you’re slagging off Lacazette for being “just a finisher” when that’s exactly the player Aubameyang is.

Auba is clearly quicker, more skillful, and is better in football IQ.

 

[FEH]

Who cares whos better? They're both our players and we finally have a pair of strikers who can bang them in for fun. Laca was prolific for Lyon and Auba for Dortmund.

We will see hattricks this season.

Ah yes, I forgot about your obsession with “skills”.

 

[Football Manager]

And does it change the fact that Auba is quicker, more skillful and is better in football IQ?

 

[GoonerBoy19]

Both complement each other and have different skills set. It will be naive to go into this season with a single top striker. Injuries, roatation, competition, it's good for everything.

 

[tap-in]

They certainly get on well, and that can only be good for the team!

Those two and Özil are my favourite Arsenal players, would love nothing more than to see the win the PL together.

 

[TheArsenalis]

Batman i have to apologize. Seeing the arsenal traning video today these 2 laca and auba are clearly bonding. They look inseparable. Keep them together at all cost.

We have 6 CB let's go three at back 5 in midfield. Those 2 upfront.

Im thinking: ...Martinez
.......Chambers.....Socratis....Koscienly.
.............Torreira.......Xhaka
.........Perez........Özil........Mikh
...............Laca...........Auba....

Obviously this haa to change up sometimes.

No doubts who is quicker. But i think think the frenchman is more skillfull. Being a small cf he has done extraordinarily well playing with back to goal. He doesn't rely on solely pace to beat a player. I love them both. They both know the back of net.

Why isn't Jenkinson in a trash container?

Not more skillful. Better positioning no doubt

You know that saying, "Don't argue with an idiot, he will knock you down and beat you with an experience"?
Well I don't think you're and idiot @field442 so please don't allow any to drag you down to their level.
