Do you risk the goal - scoring acumen
of Lacazette for a healthy Welbeck who seems to be peaking at the right time, or do you trust that your club's former - record - signing striker is going to be the goal scoring threat you know he can be, even if he is coming off an injury and has rarely played a full 90 for the club?
For
all of Lacazette's skill, he is not the overall athlete that Welbeck is, nor is he as physical a player.
The Londoners are in need of an additional striker, after the signing
of Lacazette from the Ligue 1 outfit has not really worked out well for Wenger and his team.

Well, I don't know if that is the point you are trying to make by underscoring the Espnfc statistical comparison of Lava setter's Lac a setters stats as against that of Giroud whose stats appeared to have been rated lower to
that of Lacazette who got a higher stats ranking scores by the Espnfc Commentariat.
Pallister feels the Lukaku signing is much better than

We're patiently waiting on an announcement
of Lacazette's five - year deal from Lyon, so here's some of the best shots to get you through the afternoon!
I am not the biggest fan
of Lacazette, to put it mildly.
The signing
of Lacazette, is one that divides opinion amongst supporters.
With the defenders tiring after chasing the likes
of Lacazette and Welbeck, Giroud is the perfect man to bring on and give them a completely different problem to think about.
It is hard to see him joining a club which will not offer Champions League football next season, and Chelsea are also reported to be admirers
of Lacazette.
From what I've seen
of him Lacazette may have to up his work rate a little in order to create more opportunities for himself — in the Premier League you do not get a lot of time and space and he needs to adapt to that and work to create his own chances at times.
But let's be honest here there can't be many of us who who weren't hoping that we would sign the likes
of lacazette?!
Speaking of the position
of Lacazette Mr Wenger confirmed that he felt the club was ready to see the best of him, «because I realise now that he was not himself for a while.
I would be far more confident
of Lacazette up front if Ozil and Sanchez were operating behind him.
All indications are that Arsenal will announce the record signing
of Lacazette tomorrow, he completed a successful medical today and met the team at training, according to Sky Sports.

The Gunners, despite spending big sums on the likes
of Lacazette and Aubameyang in the last two windows, appears to be still struggling with some elements of their game, and are well away from even challenging for the much coveted top four spots.
The signing
of Lacazette has left Arsenal fans thrilled and filled with optimism for the upcoming season.
Aside from Cazorla, Pierre - Emerick Aubameyang won't feature in the game as he is not eligible to feature, as per UEFA rules, but the return
of Lacazette has provided a timely boost for Wenger.
The arrivals
of Lacazette and Kolašinac certainly excited the fans and have added a new level of quality to the team.
When we finally got our «magic 3»
of Lacazette, Ozil and Alexis all playing together against Everton a few weeks ago, all three got on the scoreboard and it looked like we were back in contention for the Top Four again with a stunning 5 - goal thriller from the Gunners.
he can get the best out
of Lacazette and Giroud..
However if Arsenal do sign the likes
of Lacazette, then Akpom should surely be set for yet another loan move away in order to gain much needed experience.
So I ask you all; If Wenger secures the signature
of Lacazette, and persuades Alexis to extend his contract, will that be enough to get the fans behind the manager for the new season?
The signings
of Lacazette and any others that we can get to improve our fortunes plus, the input and endeavours of our current players in a united front, will surely put Arsenal back on the map of English football.
welbeck playing ahead of lacca will only happen under wenger as no other manager in the world would see either player's striking abilities and play welbeck.Its just really weird every time I see welbeck start instead
of Lacazette....
You'd have to take off about 10 goals out
of Lacazette stats... since those are penalties and then there is the issue of... will he be able to adapt to the EPL within the season?
I love how Wenger changed the formation, however my worries are; Iwobi starting ahead
of Lacazette, Monreal as CB....
Not that news reports should be taken seriously, but Ive seen headlines
of lacazette replacing Lukaku at everton.
They should be worried
of Lacazette, especially if Sanchez and Wilshere will play behind him.
From what I've seen
of Lacazette he ticks all the boxes at the right price.
Wenger is in a fix as he sold loads of players but bought no one other than our early acquisitions
of Lacazette and Kolasinac.
If Van Diik fetches 70 mil and Walker fetched 45 mil then Wenger's purchase
of Lacazette was an absolute bargain.
Giroud should stay for certain matches but choice
of Lacazette or Morata is okey, or other alternatives like Lukaku etc..
Im worried in particular
of Lacazette.
How does Iwobi start in front
of Lacazette?
It's rare the two have got on the pitch at the same time due to a combination
of Lacazette's injury struggles, while Aubameyang is ineligible to play in the Europa League.
For France Giroud ahead
of Lacazette while at Arsenal, Lacazette ahead of Giroud unless things change.
I like the idea
of Lacazette upfront, he is very quick and can turn the defenders left right and center Go Gunners
The pond at Arsenal is getting bigger with the arrival
of Lacazette and the expected advent of Thomas Lemar.
Rumors
of Lacazette for around # 52 million and Auba for # 60 million still persist and we know Wenger likes MBappe.
@Third man JW, have you heard
of Lacazette, Mehrez, Kolasinic, Lemar etc..
I too like the look
of Lacazette but you can guarantee one thing Arsenal will be monitoring him — Wenger will know his mum's maiden name, his preferred aftershave and what brand of breakfast cereal he likes best.
they only wanted welbeck on loan and they brought Lucas bcoz he was half the price
of lacazette!
Ozil performed against Everton because of the intelligent running
of Lacazette and Sanchez into the channels creating spaces and committing defenders, allowing Ozil to make the pass.
