Odsonne really looks a complete striker to me. Unsure if he's got another level, but he's the total package as far as holdup, physicality, mobility, dribbling, and finishing.

Watched the first 3 Celtic matches this season. Thoroughly unimpressed. He reminds me of a younger Lacazette.

Ange has gotten them to playing some great attacking football though and the Celtic player to get is Furuhashi. He is ridiculously good

He is so much fun to watch.

And agreed on Edouard, he looks pretty ordinary[font=arial, sans-serif]. [/font]

As per Celtic fans, he has already thrown the towel after not getting a move he was looking for in the summer window.

It looks increasingly likely they will lose him for free next season.

Coombs

Certainly not seeing his true level right now, but to be fair it might be more Crystal Palace than Arsenal. Guy is 6'2" and not much like Lacazette at all.

I'd have him as a potential replacement for Arteta ahead of the likes of BR & Co.

same here, and at sub 20m it's low risk and a worthwhile lacazette replacement. maybe we can push the auba replacement to next summer. he's been phoning it in for the last 12 months at Celtic though, which is a worry

Gazza M

not liking the emerging rumours about laca being used in any kind of swap with barca. would rather keep him and let him go for nothing next season than get saddled with a swap deal that's heavy on compromise just for the sake of getting rid

Don Pacifico

Doesn't it entirely depend in who we get in to replace him?

lorddulaarsenal

Moriba would be a class swap

Rohit

Or Emerson/ Dest.

TambourineMan

I think Dest is their golden boy and the fans love him. Emerson Royal or Moriba would be a good swap.

thing is bellerin is also likely to be offered in a swap for a fullback. dest is non transferrable

I don't want whatever dreck comes our way in a laca swap e.g. coutinho

Don Pacifico

Of course not but I feel like most of their players are up for grabs right now, so I'd be surprised if we don't have a bit of choice if we're genuinely looking to do business with them (which I'm sceptical about).

He looked to be coasting last season too. TBF Celtic are a massive mess at the moment. Although Furuhashi looks a cult hero in the making.

Where would we even fit Coutinho in now?

Rohit

In the massive hole left by his compatriot Willian, if he is does leave.

I think Dest is a fair bit overrated, looks great in attack but very dodgy defensively.

Barcelona are in massive financial trouble, I'd ask for anyone who we could sign realistic or not. Dembele Moriba or Emerson aren't even that unattainable but I'd even ask for Fati and Pedri, both have just a year left and the club might just be retarded enough to let them go.

Ricky1985

I'm guessing with Laporta back at the helm, they're probably not as retarded as they have been for the past 5 years, but still worth exploring.

I can't see how it makes sense for them to have Sergi Roberto, Emerson and Dest on their books. I love Dest's technical ability and dribbling, but Emerson is probably the one that's tailor-made for the Premier League. I'd take a swap for Lacazette and some money going our way happily.

Don Pacifico

I guess the only problem in all this speculation is which players would actually want to join us right now! 😆

DCL would be ideal. One of the best at attacking crosses and all we do is cross.

Would be a really good, interesting addition if it happened. I hope to see us diversify our attack with more creativity, at least after a 4-12 week span. Even if that were to happen and we grow out of a skewed approach, I think he would complement the side. Everton have made huge financial losses in the last three seasons and their modest stadium diminishes the impact that renewed gate income can bring. Could be a rare window of opportunity to make a play.

With Barca, as I'm sure they're looking to reduce their wage bill I don't see how transferring up-and-comers and youngsters is going to benefit them. 4 players earning 200+k a week, 13 players 100k+. It feels like a small pool of transfer candidates that would favor both parties.
