Alexandre Lacazette

[carlito'sway]

Lacazette is having his third excellent season with Lyon, it's time for him to move to a bigger club in the summer.

If we were to lose Alexis then one of PEA, Lacazette, Dybala, Mbappe and Icardi is a must.

Lacazette is good but is not a significant upgrade, specially for the 45 to 50 M fee he will command. I am ok with the Giroud/Perez/Sanchez and Danny playing upfront, if we can upgrade one of the wings with a scorer/ playmaker. Marco Reus would be ideal there.

PS. Fo the umpteenth time, Mbappe is not moving this summer. So let's forget about it for now.

He'll be going to China if Lyon expect to get 45-50m for him.

WHU offered 40 M for him, so don't be surprised if he goes for 45 M.

This old chestnut, id take him

Would be the best finisher at the club if Alexis were to leave, so that's something. Overall, a bit underwhelming, though. Needs space to run into so I don't think he would do much playing against teams that sit back all game.

Hardly says much, most of the tossers at Arsenal couldn't finish their dinner.

Depressing link, would do well to finish top 6 with tossers like Lacazette leading your attack.

Put it this way Lacazette is a MASSIVE upgrade on Perez and Walcott, different option to Giroud but would suite our style more so yes he'd easily be our second best forward after Alexis (or best should...as yous keep pointing out in every ****ing thread.... he leave).

 

[Mitch]

I am a big fan of Lacazette, has everything you want in CF and is one the top 10 CFs in the world.

Would tend to disagree with that statement. Lacazette is an upgrade, but not a massive one. He is going to cost north of 40 M and I would rather spend that money on a Marco Reus. We could live with Perez, Welbeck and potentially Alexis at CF. I have seen Lacazette regularly for the last 4 or 5 yerars and I am not a big fan. He scored 21 goals this season but this number is rather misleading (1o penalties).

Yeah, but it's the same problem we've had for years, there simply aren't many decent strikers available.

I agree, I'm not a fan of him either I'm just saying he's better than most of our options so he'd fall under the "better than nothing" category.

There are if you want to spend 80-100m.

I think it's time.

Got it. Hopefully, the likes of Theo will not be at the club either next season.

We can get Morata. No way he is staying at RM next season and 50 to 60 M would make it happen.

 

[Aevi]

It would be questionable to go for Lacazette now after having had ample opportunity to get him earlier.

 

[GDeep™]

You're treading water with Lacazette.

Sign Lacazette, appoint Blanc, and the club is put back 30 years.

He divides opinion, you rate him?

Our board could look at how poor PSG have been this season domestically and just assume Blanc is a top class manager because he won titles there with ease.

It's gonna happen isn't it?

 

[Aevi]

I'm less enthusiastic about Lacazette than I was before, he has stagnated, if not gotten a bit worse number-wise. I hope he isn't our first-choice.
