Agreed. An upgraded Walcott, if you will.
The comps don't show it but there must be more to him than penalties and loose balls deflecting into his path as, unless your name is Rossi or Linekar, you cannot keep getting that amount of luck.

You've reAlly got it in for Ricky 😆

Just watched a comp showing all of his goals from 16/17, he doesn't display anything that is magical or spectacular, what he does I think the likes of Walcott or Giroud can do - not on the wind up or anything, If the fee is really 50m+ then would it not be wiser to just go the whole shabang and get somebody like Mbappe or even a little more and sign Morata/Icardi??

Tbf a comp of kane or lukaku would be similarly bland. These guys are all about the finish rather than general play. Wenger appears to have given up on developing complete strikers. It's either target men or poachers now

A pacy threat through the middle has been lacking for ages. The team played it's best stuff with theo or Alexis in the middle, but in reality they were always just half measures there

Liverpool would be delighted with Lacazette upfront.

lorddulaarsenal

The Shkodran Mustafi of forwards.

Thing is you know we won't offer as much as this for Lemar even.

Coombs

Should pay 50 for lemar, easy.

goon

We should because frankly I don't see where else where going to spend any money.

We'd be happy, not delighted. We're pretty much in the same boat nowadays.

go away

alexis, ozil and lacazette is a good front 3. mbappe was always just a dream

now, sign a GK and CM

Rohit

Underwhelming, but I guess this is our level for now. If we had to settle for him, should have probably signed him in previous windows then.

Yeah, if you go into next season and you have those as your front three... pure class.

I'd rather a CM and another attacker, tbh. Sounds like its gonna be Petr/Emi next season in goal anyway.

Liverpool lack a genuine goal scorer.

I think Liverpool will struggle this coming season. Their form wasn't good in the closing stages of the season and they've reached their ceiling with their current set of players. Maybe they'll surprise us but they will find it difficult to play with the intensity klopp likes

i see GK as a pretty huge need right now, tbh. cech hasnt looked world class since he arrived at arsenal and i have major question marks about him going forward. martinez is nothing more than 3rd choice.

i think we'd be crazy to not be at the front of the line for donnarumma. could have the position sorted for the next 10+ years.

at CM, if we play 2 CMs this coming season, we have xhaka-ramsey and then elneny + ??....we definitely need a CM, but i would love to see us stump up for a world class keeper.

Yup but they would be a few goals created by mouth agape and physicality respectively.
The main positive i see from Laca is finally having no more use for Theo as no way can we afford 2 passengers out of 3 in the front line.

lorddulaarsenal

Joe Hart incoming

Agreed on theo. I've had enough of him and his flighty fairweather shenanigans

Yeah, that's the thing I don't get. He was cheaper previous 3 windows and we thought he was too expensive. Even last summer Aulas wanted 40m and we couldn't pay it. He could have fired us to the title in the year Leicester won the title and certainly got us top 4 easily last season.

Wenger is really desperate nowadays.
