Lautaro Martinez

[OnlyOne]

I dont give a **** anymore. Nothing we can possibly do in this window will bring me back. **** this club.

Finally, some good news this window at least.

 

[krengon]

Blame Lacazette all you like, but this window falls on Edu and Arteta, not a player with 11 months left on his contract.

For a 70m target, Laca would have been paid to leave if they really wanted him.

I don’t even see how Laca is preventing any cf signings anyway. If they really wanted a new cf they’ll get one and have Laca as 2nd choice.

 

[El Duderino]

Yep. No rumours or talks for weeks, just straight in and get a deal done. I love Edu the player but this is what having a competent/experienced person in charge of this stuff gets you.

I never believed the warchest stories, but I feel like Arteta and Edu were much too vocal about how big our summer was going to be. Then Arsenal go out and sign a 50m CB and have been chasing Aaron ****ing Ramsdale.

 

[Camron]

Calm down. We are getting Ramsdale. Levels.

 

[A_G]

We aren't signing a striker anyway without selling strikers first.

This club just overvalues its players, that's why they never sell anyone

Not sure why people blame players in that sort of circumstance.

If we were in the same position for our current jobs, would we leave? No chance that I would consider and take a hit on my salary unless I was getting fully paid off.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Only interesting bit of the article is that the add-ons will take the deal to £76.8m.

So thats every other member of the "top 6" smashing their transfer record or coming close to it (Sancho to United) and we're sat here after consecutive 8th place finishes (failing to score more than 60 goals in each campaign) with Ben White and two back ups. There should be mass protests at the first home game ffs.

 

[Goonger]

Can't lie, it's massively disappointing watching the new generation of up & coming strikers go everywhere while we are stuck with Laca on big wages & a massively out of form Auba on giant wages.

Feckin Tammy Abraham will likely be out of our reach as well at this rate!

If we sign Tammy Abraham now I won't be watching this season. Genuinely might be it.

You will be watching the Brentford game on Friday, and you know it!

1000000000% this and some are convinently ignoring this. If Lautaro gets you top 4 (I'm not saying he does), you end up in a net positive even if you release Lacazette.

If a player moves the needle, you make room for them. We've tanked our own players values for less.

 

[dashsnow17]

Falling further down day by day. I was telling my mate yesterday who supports United that I could honestly see Villa/Leeds/Everton finishing above us.

Villa and Leeds yeah fine, but f*cking Everton? Pull yourself together man.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

If the narrative is we have money and need squad spaces, then we can probably loan Lacazette to Lyon or someone like that and break even cost wise, while also upgrading on him.

It's obvious by now that we don't care about tanking player's values, given Kola, Torreira, AMN, et al., so this "having to have squad spaces" is mostly excuses.

Again, if the narrative is money is not an issue, why not compromise on Xhaka and upgrade on him? Same goes for Lacazette, Hector, etc.

If we want to catch up to the 7 teams above us, we need to act like a big club in regards to players coming in.

But if we sell cheap we'll moan too apart from Xhaka and willock i don't even know the other guys has offers we look interested in striker it's so obvious we'll buy one but also we need to be sure laca out of door or we'll be in deep trouble we'll loan him out and lose him for free

Not like the next link saying we're trying to gazump Sp**s from Lautaro will not bring you back, right?

 

[HairSprayGooners]

There's a difference between watching with excitement and just can't be bothered watching vibes. I just can't be bothered anymore.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

If that were going to happen we would've done something by now. Laca can't be shifted, didn't accept the offer last year from Roma. So whatever.

 

[Macho]

I don’t even see how Laca is preventing any cf signings anyway. If they really wanted a new cf they’ll get one and have Laca as 2nd choice.

People are just frustrated with Lacazette in particular and want to blame him for holding back the club.

We happily paid Özil salary for the entire season, it’s not a problem to do the same for Lacazette if there were absolutely no takers.

 

[OnlyOne]

Villa and Leeds yeah fine, but f*cking Everton? Pull yourself together man.

Rafa will make them tough to beat, DCL 1-0 every fixture.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Lautaro or not, we don’t have a chance of finishing in the top 4, so I’m not fussed.

Not lowering my expectations due to our incompetent owner and manager. Top 4 is the minimum and it’s clear we can’t compete with City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Utd.

Fans moaning on an Arsenal forum doesn't matter though, innit? If it gets you an upgrade and the team performs it's all fine.

You bring top quality in and worry about it later, we're not talking about a Tavares or Lokonga who are being brought in to up the level of the bench options we have.
