Think some fans are probably put off by the fact that he's been playing in the French for so long but the likes of Van Nistelrooy left the Dutch league at around the same age, and I wouldn't be shocked if Lacazette end up having the same impact for us as horseface did for Man United.
Maybe I'm overatting him a bit but I was shocked at how good he is when I started keeping a close eye at him. The likes of Aubameyang, Lukaku etc may have a higher profile than him but I have far more faith in Laca coming here and becoming a hit simply because he's a better footballer IMO, less reliant on pace, more adept in confined spaces.
Right now I'd say Laca is around the level Sturridge was at his peak, say that season when Liverpool nearly won the league but fucked it up in the end. I don't think bar Suarez and Aguero, there was a better striker than Sturridge in the league at that moment and he was very important for Liverpool that season (check out the number of 1st time goals he scored).
Mbappe remains the dream signing but Lacazette excites me. Now just force Alexis to stay, and a front 3 of Alexis-Laca-Ozil could do a lot of damage in this league.
