Alexandre Lacazette (Out)

[Yousif Arsenal]

I really can see A.Madrid buy him he type of player Simeone like not world class but hardworking striker.

Pray we reduce our asking price to one that Atletico are willing to pay. No way they’d pay 40m

Atletico will be the only option I think.

Orny mentioned Auba moving to number 9 as he gets older. We are heavily stacked up front as it is with players who can play across the front 3.

If any offer above 25M comes in you have to sell. Financially not viable to keep him.

Surley there is a deal to be done between Lacazette and Partey. One of those Arthur/Pjanjic deals would suit both parties. We pay a bit more than Parteys RC, say €60m, Atletico pay us €50 for Laca. Both teams book a profit, everyone's a winner.

Think we'll keep him, I don't see Auba up front under Arteta.

You’re expecting a team like Atletico who are in financial difficulties to pay €50m for Lacazette ?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Unfortunately A.Madrid don't want any swaps so the best possible outcome is give us 35-40M for laca and we pay partey 50m release clause in 2 installments

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Atletico can only spend 25 percent of what they make in sales. So its a no brainer for them to swap Lacazette and say 15M for Partey.

Even a Lacazette and Guendouzi swap for Partey would be elite business for both clubs.

Look at that Arthur/Pjanic deal. Both teams booked a massive profit, whereas the expenditure was minimal as the fee is amortised across the length of the contracts.

I honestly don’t know why they’re not willing to negotiate a Lacazette + Cash for Partey deal. It’s clear they’re run by people who are not very smart

 

[Artisan]

Atletico will be the perfect team for him, another team where his fangirls can hide behind the playing for a team that lacks creativity as an excuse for why he can barely score more than 10 league goals a season.

 

[Tosker]

surely it would be odd for Arsenal.com to like this tweet if they were determined to sell him?

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Just do the cheap trick Barca and Juge did - 80m valuation for Partey and 70m for Laca swap + 10m to balance the books

 

[DanDare]

Don't think Atletico are interested otherwise they'd be open to a swap of some sort.

Don't think Atletico are interested otherwise they'd be open to a swap of some sort.

They want us to buy Partey with straight cash because of the release clause. They need money and straight cash is much more valuable than instalments.

We don't easily have money for the cash deal currently, so try to play poker with them and get them to accept instalments.

They also need to shift Diego Costa before buying another striker.

I'm fairly certain they are interested, as is Rex Banter, Atletico fan.

Don't think Atletico are interested otherwise they'd be open to a swap of some sort.

It was reported last week that they are willing to offer Correa, Lemar or Vitolo in a swap deal.

I hope they offer one of those players + 1 gun to shoot ourselves with if we accept.

Fairly confident Nketiah is gonna start ahead of Laca, unless we sign a striker, or Auba could go centre with Saka out wide. Most likely tho if we sell Laca for £25m & free up his £150k wages, thats £32m - £35m to sign a repalcement, shoudlnt be hard to find someone who can get 10 goals & 5 assist for Arsenal over 30 odd games for that money. Most fo the clubs in Europe are broke

Please, come up with names...
