I'd take him. Remains to be seen what his link play is like though, we'll probably still need another good winger if he's as pure a goalscorer as he had shown so far.

icardi and mahrez for the wing.

Pure goalscorer. Doesn't do much holdup or linkup play, doesn't dribble. He needs others to create chances for him, but he's got proper natural instinct in front of goal. He's an archetypical box player with good touch and technique, which is cool because that type of striker isn't really around any longer. He seems unfazed no matter who he's up against too which would be a nice change from the current Arsenal where most players have a panic attack at the mere sight of a defender.

He wouldn't be my first choice but I'd take him ahead of Lukaku and Lacazette and the other halfwits we've been linked to recently.

Exactly my opinion on it. Funny because not that long ago our assessments of him couldn't have been more different 😉

hes a scummy piece of shit. dont want players like him at arsenal

We shouldn't sign Messi either because he's a tax fraud then.

Ditto Suarez the cannibal.

Who needs all these top class players, they're all scum.

Good thing we've only had classy guys play for us like Tony Adams who served time for drink driving, Patrick Vieira who spat at an opponent and Thierry Henry who handballed his way to the World Cup finals.

Let's stick to nice guys who are shit, like Theo.

cheating on your taxes and stealing another guy's wife are on opposite ends of the scummy piece of shit spectrum

Napoli are in for Icardi now , possible replacement for Higuain who looks likely to sign for Juventus if they meet the release clause.

There are 2 different stories going around though, nobody knows the truth.

stealing? the dude's wife didn't want to be with him and left him for someone that appealed to her more. free will and all that.

Having tattoos of the man's children on his arm is a bit much though ... weird

If anything the fact that Icardi is a bit of a cunt makes him an even more attractive signing for me. We need more of that ilk, players who are cunts on the pitch and are ready to kill to win (Xhaka was a good start towards addressing this to be fair). Most of our lot look more concerned about making friends with the opposition than beating them.

More cunts like Icardi, less pussies like Walcott and we might go back to being a winning club again.

Exactly 😆 We need more cunts on the pitch, not a potentially dressing room disruptor.

But like I said, we are running out of options now.

I suppose it would be alright, after all we are not going to get anyone better. That is how it is now.

Not a PL or CL winning player though. We are still fighting for 4th with this guy. IMO.

this sounds about right for Arsenal.  😆 😆 😆
Wenger will be left muttering "zut alors!' under his breath 

All the talk about Icardi's "wife-stealing" is a bit off the mark in my opinion. If you've ever seen it happen in real life it's not usually because anyone's a complete bastard. Also unlikely that he'd do it again. If anything I'd suggest the way it all got handled through the press suggests he's not the sharpest, above all else.

As Snoop Dogg said in U Betta Recognize "You know the name of the game. Your girl chose me." Bring in Icardi and tell Ozil and company to up their game lest they'll be loners.

A sign of true dedication to children that aren't biologically his. What a thing to do.

So many people will see that as an act of spite. Hard to deal with for the real dad, but he's got to accept it, there's another father figure in their lives.

He's scored the same amount of league goals as Giroud with nearly half the shots. 

It would not help us much if he came here and got to half as many shots and scored the same amount of goals.
