Laca starting to boss it?

Wilson

Yeah I'd sell him too. Squad needs investment elsewhere.

Coombs

I'd sell him if we could get another CF. I wouldn't if we couldn't. For me it's really that simple. I'm really nervous that we'll be without a CF sometime next season and it'll be very frustrating.

Hang on- next year as in season or calendar year?

Also, I assume any decision on Lacazette will be affected by what happens with Auba. If Auba doesn't sign a renewal, I would guess that Auba goes and Laca is kept.

Calendar year.

Calendar year sadly 🙁

Laca is criminally underrated on here.

You saying this after your Aubameyang chat? Come on man 😆

Knows how to do it on big night at the Camp Nou.

I think more people are understanding the role he plays for the team and are starting to see beyond the lack of goals, which would not be as much of an issue if we had more goals spread throughout the team, which also then relates to creativity in the final 3rd.

He does have sort of a point. Auba is clearly the superior player but every now and then when Laca outperforms him it barely registers

Firmly in the sell mode regarding him as he either extends or goes given his contract situation.

No point in extending as he's already on big wages.

I'd bring in Callum Wilson as a back-up for Auba given he's cheap.

Martinelli seems more for the wing in the short term and Nketiah doesn't seem all that much prolific to me.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Eddie certainly has the potential to be a prolific goalscorer. Don't let the abject midfield progression and non-existent creativity fool you.

I like Eddie but I'd sell him or get him another championship loan if we can't shift him.

Claudius

I like Eddie as depth right now. He’s versatile and hardworking. I think we need to split our kids into 3 groups. a) future starters, b) versatile depth and c) sell soon for profit. Eddie for me would be group 2. Guendouzi fits into 3 because he can attract funds and help us get starters in an area of dire need. They all need to be bucketed.

Anzac

Wasn't there a suggestion in Jan that Laca has an agreement in place with the club that if we fail to qualify for UEFA he can go?

I love his tenacity but his ceiling looks really low. He just has that WC side foot finish from narrow angles. I'd rather give the minutes to someone with a higher ceiling like gabi theirs so many aspects of his game that look incredible.

Gabi's sick right now. And we need someone to give Aubameyang and Lacazette a rest. Here's a kid who can fill in at two positions, works hard and scores. Sounds good to me. Similar with Willock. Martinelli is likely to b a bucket 1 with Saka. Future star. And then we will sell a bunch of kids because most don't make it after all. The one who gives me sleepless nights is Nelson. He seems to have the biggest range of outcomes. He's Gnabry 2.0

Yep, Different finishes goes past players, creates space for himself to shoot. Great in the air and steel determination. The form of the rest of thd team doesn't dictate his preformance like arshavin, I love that.

Nelson is a weird one, I thought once he physically fill out he'd be more effective than he is currently. Their are signs of progress and a really high ceiling. He was only a sub on loan so he's super inexperiamced and hasn't worked out what works for him yet. Ronaldo and robben just done the same thing everytime, even if nelson never learns to live in the moment like Pires or DB10 I think he'll still work out moves that generally go his way.
