Why are we immune to selling players? It's a totally legit thing to do, it's all good, just sell him.
This is not right because our budget is not big and we need replacement also we need to strength 3-4 other positions
And if we sell Lacazette we're almost certainly going to need to replace him. We can't go into next year with 1 established CF in Auba and then if he gets hurt be stuck in the Wolves situation of this year.
And replacing him is probably going to cost more than we get from selling him. So I don't see how selling him frees up money for this team. It's a false economy.
Teams need a bit of churn. Lacazette's been here for a while, sell him for 20m and spent it on a young striker, could be worse, could be the same, could be much better. At least it's something new. You're never gonna get back to the top by carrying on with the same stuff every year. You need to chop down a tree every now and then.
What good young PL-level strikers are available for 20m? Rhian Brewster cost 23m last year for 0 goals this year. Nketiah is worth 20m if we sell him and he hasn't done jack in the PL.
I will say that I really rate Balogun and if he's signed my opinion might be a bit different. But at this point it seems like a foregone conclusion that he's walking.
Is there any club out there that will give Lacazette the wages he wants and length of contract? I dont think so, which is why we will be stuck with him.

There are plently of teams more stupid than uslol....Laca is 30 years old. Only a stupid team like us would give that transfer fee for an underperforming guy, 30 years old and on his final year.

Whenever I see posts like this, I know this is a young fan that is just getting into football. The more years go by, you'll be able to understand the transfer market more - kind of like stock trading but for football.
No way anyone will pay 20 million for Lacazette.
You have to consider this - Lacazette another poor season. He is on 180K per week, but is not that level type of player. He is 30 years old and has regressed since he got to Arsenal. He would be on his final year of his contract - why would a team pay transfer fee of 20 million pounds for a player in the final year of their contract unless it is a Robin Van Persie level player?
He is not even worth the transfer fee of his wages alone. He gets about 9.5 million pounds per year.
So if a team took him on, they'd atleast pay him that much and hope that he can score goals. That's a lot of money for a player that looks worse and worse.
Lacazette also knows that no team is going to give him 9.5 million per year again. He will take a contract like Balotteli now (2-3 million) per year for his last contract.
Whenever I see posts like this, I know this is a patronising a*sehole.
maybe he is willing to swap the bigger wages for a longer deal & more security elsewhere... its a precarious position for him at 30 this summer or 31 next summer testing the free agent marketWhenever I see posts like this, I know this is a young fan that is just getting into football.

Hmm - sensitive are we?
Listen, I didn't just stop at a single paragraph. I made valid points that hopefully you'll and others understand when discussing transfers.
There is a reason why we were giving players away for free in January - becauses simply there is no market for a transfer fee for players that are not attractive to other teams anymore. Teams that will take a punt on players prefer not to put a transfer fee unless they are getting a sure thing.
We haven't tricked teams like Liverpool have in being able to sell players for high transfers.
MOTD were laughing at him last night. They even put a screamometre on the screen. No defence from Wrighty and why should he.
If we are the only club in the league whos players stay on their feet, walk me though how this helps our cause. Apart from you being happier of course? As Im typing this Lucas Moura wins a free kick on the edge of the box for sp*rs and Cahill gets yellow. There was zero contact from the defender.Fair enough
We're diving a lot more under Arteta in general, one of the many things of "modern football" I didn't want this club to adopt at all.
