Alexandre Lacazette (Out)

[hydrofluoric acid]

We will manage if they both leave. Heading for the rebuilding of the squad can be scared but also exciting. Laca and Auba are bit of main figures in our squad, the face of Arsenal and you connect it instantly with "not good enough". Getting them both out and get new hungrier and fresher players with new ideas in will be good I think!

Rebuild take time and needs some bravery! We need to be brave!

Laugh all you want Gdeep but you ain't getting a lift back to your mud hut now.

Osimhen is nowhere near 70M, very basic player. Not someone you build a team around for the premier league. Similar to Vardy and Auba really but not as good.

Be strange if united spend big on him with greenwood, who’s going to be one of the best strikers in the world soon

 

[Dutch D]

Would be typical, though. Agree he's not that good.

Could Lemar operate as a cam? Would be good versatility then, could be a rotation option with Özil and let Smith Rowe get another full season out on loan

 

[Red London]

This Laca to Athletico rumour just isnt going away. Surely we should just try to swap for Partey while adding an extra 10m or so (maybe with the Mkhy money).

I know swaps are usually unrealistic but maybe its the route this summer.

 

[Riou]

What the hell is a "dry swap" .

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Please please, please!

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Partey for Lacazette!

 

[Tourbillion]

What the hell is a "dry swap" .

The opposite of one that causes wet dreams among fans.

Diego Costa to Arsenal it is.

 

[dashsnow17]

Kinda works. Auba and Pepe are finishers, Lemar and Özil are creators. You'd have to hope Lemar rediscovers his Monaco form. And you'd want Partey anyway, otherwise the midfield still doesn't work. Lemar and Partey is fine, but it's veering way off into fantasy.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

I would stay away from Lemar. He is very Arsenal of last 5 years player to me. We need new characters and mentality than what we are used too!

Agree! Its just not a player that will improve us in my opinion. Much rather use Laca as bait for Partey.

 

[GDeep™]

Lemar is someone you pick up if he’s cheap, like 20-25M or coming to the end of his deal. Even then it’s a risk.

 

[Tourbillion]

He'd lift our (pathetic) technical level, for sure, but he'd be a bit Nasri-esque for my liking. Pretty touches but overall blunt as ****.

Think he would thrive under someone like Arteta. Talent is definitely there.

 

[L3T5 PL4Y]

Lemar definitely can play in attacking or central midfield. He'd suit us far better than Atletico's style. He is useful in all phases of the game wherever he is positioned.

Wasn't Nasri pretty good for us? I don't know if Lemar is a great player or not, but we surely do need someone to raise the technical level between midfield and attack. He's at least the type of player we need - a Cazorla, David Silva type of player.

 

[truth_hurts]

Lazy journalism. So in the last 24 hours Bellerin and Lacazette have been linked to Atletico. It's so lazy!

I really rate Lemar as a player. He could play CAM or LW here. Blocks Saka and Smith Rowe, but would be a great replacement for Mkhi and Özil and much more useful.
