Alexandre Lacazette

[Dokaka]

I'd take Lacazette over Aubameyang. I like both but Auba is 2 years older. Lacazette is just entering his prime now. Also think Lacazette offers more when he's not scoring than Auba does, but neither really excel in that area.

It's really the age that's the difference for me. Auba is all about pace and he's 28, Lacazette is 26. Auba will become significantly worse as he slows down.

I'd be happy with either one to be honest.

Think we all would

Same. Add Lemar to that and would be 10/10 on improving our attack.

Just hope the club are working hard behind the scenes to get these transfers sorted. As mentioned we're less then 3 weeks away for preseason.

If giroud is allowed to leave then someone 100% is coming in.

I'd think so also. But then you'd need somebody to back the new striker if Giroud goes and his clearly not happy to do that.

This is where you need a prospect a young talented striker who's happy to climb the ranks and pay his duos just like Rashford is doing at Utd.

Akpom/Asano ect

Funny you mention Asano i think he would do better than people think, he just needs a chance plenty of games this season to prove it

Giroud just signed a contract. He ain't leaving unless Wenger thinks so and there is stupid money on the table. Not at least this summer. We are going to need him too whoever else we sign too.

For once, I want us to keep all our productive players with a role to play to stay for next season along with top quality coming in. Just buy 3/4 top players and get rid of deadwood that have nothing to do at Arsenal.

Arsenal make 'very nice' bid for Alexandre Lacazette, Lyon president confirms....

Shots fired!

Still no top quality striker though :/

Fake news, bud.

100% unsurprising

 

[Quicker than Walcott FFS]

FFS that was like a month ago, keep up.

Traore is fine but he is mostly a winger these days. I think Lyon will end up with Traore-Fekir-Depay if Lacazette does leave and no striker. Fekir as false#9 is something I would like to see.

No way Lyon won't search for a good striker if/when lacaz' leave.

It won't be a top one but somepne like chicharito or carlos bacca.

Fekir is not good as a striker.

 

[just visiting]

no he is not, he is the most 1 dimensional striker of the ones we are being linked.
its like people moaning Giroud and asking for Bony.
People moan about walcott and want lacazzete.
hilarious.

The funniest is you speaking about lacaz' whereas you obviously didn't watch of lot of Lyon games to call him 1 dimensional striker.
He may be not the best one, ok. But he has everything needed for a striker except the head game (1 Metre 75)

 

[GDeep™]

Lacazette is even better IMO & more suited to our game.

Lacazette isn't better than Costa. I would say PEA and Laca are two levels below Costa.

 

[GDeep™]

I think Costa is as perfect an Arsenal striker as you can find today.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

We really should put a offer for him.

i watched plenty of him.
i dont talk about players i dont watch.
he is average.
Ligue 1 is free on my country, watch it a lot, i actually followed Bielsa tenure in OM like a freak, so yes, i know lacazette a lot.
we need a much more complete player than him, and if we are going to pay that sort of money for a player on his level i would go for PEA or Ben Yedder.

what are the chances of Chelsea selling to us, knowing specially there is interest from China

No chance really, Roman won't allow a killer like him to join a rival.

Fekir is not good as a striker.

Hmm, seems logical to go for a proper striker instead of experimenting I suppose.

Fekir did really well as a striker/shadow striker when he broke through, right? As far as I can remember. I can personally imagine him doing well as a false9ish free role with two wingers cutting inside.

Btw, I have a few questions. Why don't Lyon invest? They had a great line of young players and a new stadium but they went into the seasons under strength. Also the manager thing. You really should have hired someone like Bielsa or another top rated manager with a record for developing players when they were available. Imagine what they could make out of a bunch of quality young players and shrewd purchases.
