Player:Martinelli
If there was any truth to the Lacazette rumours why wouldn't we be talking him in a swap with Atléti for Thomas... ¿?
We ain't getting 40 mil for Laca!
Dream on, dream on.
Usual Suspects:
Don’t want to see Laca go, but would like to see more aggressive tapping of Martinelli’s potential this coming season regardless. For that reason would be ok with Laca for Partey. Not sure if Atletico’s inflexibility is actually sustainable, they have a cash crunch and really need a forward.
Bonkers - literally the best argument on this thread for keepign Laca & not admitting he has horrendously flopped is that he was our POTS 2 years ago. I'm guessing that was a sympathy vote by the fans as no idea how Laca won POTS that year, given Auba won the golden boot that year, scored almost twice as many goals as Laca as well as that hatty in Valencia but yeah Laca was somehow our best player that year?????
These same folk who says how vital Laca's pressing is, bad mouth Nketiah even though Eddie has literally got got 3 goals in the last month due to his pressing and closing down (soton away, england U21 last week). Laca doesnt have the stamina or physical capacity to be a pressign forward. His link up is better than Nketiah at the moment, but its not at the world class level of Firmino that you can accept a 10-12 goal return as we'll just continue to be Europa league at best if that output continues.
We won't get the offers for him.
So what do you expect that we'll be better with Nketiah?
Get a grip, son. Upgrading on Laca, as you're alluding, woule cost another 50m+.
