Arsenal have been linked with
Alexandre Lacazette for so many years now that he has gone from being a highly rated teenage prospect, to a 25 year old player still playing his trade in France.
Danny Welbeck came on
for Lacazette in the 80th minute, stepping into Alexis Sánchez's spot while Alexis moved to center forward, providing some fresh legs for a tiring Arsenal side.
The signing
of lacazette as our only forward will not win us the league.
I'm predicting a 3 - 1 win for our boys today,
with Lacazette getting on the scoresheet, and I would love for Mkhi to get a confidence - boosting goal on his debut also.
The Gunners began their summer business early with the signing of Sead Kolasinac which was followed by the recruitment of Alexandre
Lacazette in July.
I'm starting to think we should take a chance
on lacazette if we don't go all out for a world class ST.
Well so far arsenal have Loaned asano to stuttgart (wages covered) Loaned Bola to Notts County (wages covered) Sold oconnor to Newcastle (development fee) Sold hinds to wolfsburg — # 2m Sold Willock to benfica (development fee) Sold crowley to Willem 2 (development fee) Sold szczesney to juventus — # 14m Sold kamara to Dundee (development fee) Sold sanogo to toulouse (no fee) Signed kolasinac from shalke (no fee)
Signed lacazette from lyon — # 52m
In my opinion this is far too much for a striker
like Lacazette because even though he is a prolific goal scorer, he is only really proven in the arguably weak division that France is.
This is likely to the case with Alexandre
Lacazette as well, who is also returned to fitness, but as the Frenchman has had no football for the last six weeks it may be a good idea to bring him on once we have a good lead -LRB-?).
Even with the Gunners about to complete the transfer of Alexandre
Lacazette from Lyon I can not see the logic in letting Giroud go.
Buy Lacazette who has proven himself season after season and another forward with a midfielder and we can get all those for 100m... Anyway, am sure Wenger will not sign any other player if he pays that money for Mbappe
We have never seen
Lacazette playing like that but I believe he is more of a lone striker.
I could be reading too much into it, but it seems like he was not too happy when
Lacazette scored in the first game and in the second one when our new signing went to congratulate him on his goal I thought Olivier ignored him.
2) Why were you not shouting
about Lacazette at the beginning of the season?
The arrival of Alexandre
Lacazette at Arsenal has left our supersub Olivier Giroud in limbo, as the two Frenchmen are fighting over the role of centre - forward in the France national side.
Secondly Wenger has wanted him for YEARS, third with tolisso and whole lot of stars leaving lyon this transfer window do they really
think lacazette wants to stick around?
If they
want Lacazette then we should stump up the money which the entire footballing world knows we have, cause we've barley spent any of it.
Many
say lacazette scored more without taking into account 14 penalties (I think) Also lacazzette wnet 706 mins without a goal for France
It makes our 50 million acquisition of Alexandre
Lacazette look like a bargain!
Wilshere directness is what Lacazette needs
You guys would probably be delighted with this line up Cech Bellerin Koscielny Kolasinac Ox Xhaka Isco Lemar
Ozil Lacazette Sanchez
If i knew we were getting Aubameyang, i would have preferred Giroud to stay
over Lacazette because Giroud has PL experience.
Lyon can not really bluff or insist too strongly on getting Olivier Giroud as part of the deal
because Lacazette was going to sign for Atletico Madrid before they were hit with a transfer ban so we know that he is available.
Otherwise buying
Lacazette then selling Sanchez would be like one step forward and one step backwards.
Makes me wonder, did Wenger somehow bring in two Alexis Sanchez (With
Lacazette coming in) and therefore decided to sacrifice a man in attack with the hope that we will score even more goals anyway?
Called this after
Lacazette deal, yet certain people on this forum couldn't stop posting Lemar rumours and a bunch of other nonsense.
That will also give Xhaka more confidence... I think he is very poor defensively but I do nt think he was bought as a CDM... Sanchez whether he wants to leave or not should be buzzing after that game — when he plays alongside or
behind Lacazette with Ozil feeding them its going to be very exciting So makeshift team all round — 30 % of out outfield team and 3 of our main players Kos, Mustafi and Sanchez all not playing — but did you see the bench?
Agreed we just need a forward like
lacazette so when we play against teams that park the bus, we have a player capable of recieving the ball, turning, beating a man and getting a strike on goal.
Bild suggest a club - record deal is close to bring Aubameyang to the Emirates Stadium, and he looks like he could be a major upgrade on
Lacazette up front.
Iwobi cant defend for shit, would have been better to put alexis or
even lacazette instead of Iwobi.

All the goals came in the final 15 minutes with Pierre - Emerick Aubameyang notching from the spot and then adding a second before Alexandre
Lacazette also scored a penalty.
I would
take Lacazette over Giroud, because he would suit Wenger's style of play better, not to mention the amount of goals he gets.
