  • Alexandre Lacazette (Breaking: Lyon confirm 35m euro bid)

So let's see...
... Arsenal fans complain about the striker who starts for France. The logical thing is to go for a guy who doesn't even make the national team. Imagine. This rumor is a non-starter

I suspect that AW is on a Clayton's (the one you have when you're not having one) fishing expedition whilst he awaits an opportunity to sign Benzema.

Another striker who despite not being ideal I'd be happy enough to sign.

So by your logic even Benzema isn't good enough?

As far as I know he is a player who was eligible to play for France in the Euros. They didn't take him.

They took some shit version of Giroud who's playing his prime years out in Mexico.

They didn't take him because of non-football reasons, it's a special case.

Wasn't Lacazette injured towards the end of the season that ruled him out?

Alternatively it could also have something to do with squad balance & options that Dechamps may have wanted 2 CFs to play off as quasi target men rather than the smaller type of forwards?

Surely it hasn't reach that stage yet? It's not even july.

Does the month matter? We've been in the same situation for years.

Lacazette gets a hard time on here but he's a proven goal scorer, thats what we need.

I think we are at the stage to explore much better options first.

Have you lived in a closet where nobody told you that the Bemzema-case had absolutely nothing to do with his quality?

Have you lived in a closet where nobody told you that international call-ups do not necessarily indicate a players quality?
