Lucas Pérez: Is he back again?

[Yousif Arsenal]

Lucas £17m
Xhaka £35m
Mustafi £35m

What a summer.

Fees we'd get now:

Lucas £3m
Xhaka £15-20m
Mustafi £15-20m after a good loan.

I start to think all these 3 players were backup for Kante Manolas Vardy these were our primary targets vardy rejected the move Kante we couldn't match his wages chelsea offered him and Manolas we through 40M is too much yet we give Valencia 35M for Mustafi

I think Xhaka was done for some time, it was announced pretty early.

The story about Kante was that apparently Wenger wanted to keep faith with Coquelin

agree with the rest

Still the better numbers than Iwobi's.

Iwobi has better numbers at this age than Lucas did.

I read somewhere that we couldn't match the wages Chelsea offered to him that's why we didn't bother ourselves about it.

Oh my, let's give him another 30 starts next season because he's young and from our academy! #CharityFC

Iwobi has better numbers at this age than Lucas did.

At Rayo's first team he only got 6 appearances and the difference between the two clubs speaks for itself.
Anyway, Iwobi has **** stats even when he's got quality playmakers and strikers around him, so there's that.

Triggereed

Absolutely wouldn't be surprised if the new coach recalled him, he makes a fantastic bench option.

 

[HBL]

People said Wenger was the one holding him back. Same as that bum Joel Campbell who's done nothing at Sporting this season when fit.

He is at Real Betis...

Perez is a decent squad player but I think we’ll sell him, much better than Iwobi who has been crap for the past two seasons.

Lucas Perez will return to Arsenal in July 2nd and will be likely in Emery Plans

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Welp. That's deflated the Emery balloon.

If we don't buy width Lucas has to stay we don't have enough attacking players.

 

[Garrincha]

Just looking for that payoff or reduced fee.

He was scared of competition before Lacazette, PEA & Micky arrived + our youth are a year older.

On your bike Lucas.

Emery wanted him while he was at PSG, but don't think there is really room in the squad for him.

 

[StefanB]

If we play two up front he's a good alternative. I'd still rather have Perez than Welbeck.

 

[yybecause]

if we stick to 2 strikers system then we could definitely use Lucas

It's possible. You never know what a new manager might have in mind, guys like Ashley Young, Fabian Delph and Victor Moses were out of favour under previous managers at their clubs before being given another chance by the new guy.

 

[<<reed>>]

Our top priorities are a GK, a CB and a CM. If we don't have money for attackers it's an OK decision. Our bench is poverty right now, send the kids on loans instead of keeping them for 5 EL games.

Yeah, who knows. Maybe he sees him as an option for out wide too.

 

[Aevi]

Going by his alleged presentation and the press conference, it seems Emery will want to give everyone a chance during the summer. This just seems to me like it's part of that, I personally doubt Perez is particularly high on his squad-building priorities.
