Lacazette

He's heavier and taller than Sanchez, Coutinho, Mane, Silva, Sterling, Jesus, Mata and Vidal.

I'm sure he's trembling.

I repeat #fear and #jealousy

 

He is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle, that will turn
us into tile winners. Like Ozil and Sanchez before him.

 

Who actually said that about Sanchez and Ozil?

 

French league is plenty physical and is full of big athletes like the Prem.

He seemed to do pretty well there.

 

Next year is our year

 

If Man United wanted him he'd be in LA now training lol

 

Good job United don't want those good players really and prefer overpriced mediocrity. Leaves the better players for everyone else. Everyone's a winner! Apart from United I suppose.

 

A sentiment I got at the respective times, from several Arsenal
supporters in person, and observed in Internet land.

That these players were "world class" , and would be the
difference between being serious tile contenders rather than
finishing as PL top 4 shoo-ins.

A sentiment that IMHO was not unreasonable (in the days
before the true effect of the Wenger factor could be seen) .

 

Can you please refer to us as European champions thanks

 

If it has got to that stage here already, can you just not ban me as
an act of compassion.

 

You missed a bit

 

Ah so that's why theres so many of you boys back now giving it large. Makes sense now. I was wondering where you guys all went for the 4 years.

@Diego not included. Been on a 1 man crusade by himself

 

Hard to be on a one man crusade with anyone else

 

RDBD read about it on twitter so it must be true.

 

If only both of those statements were true, eh.

 

My main concern now is that..

We have a TINY side again..

Lacazette 5'8
Sanchez 5'7
Lemar 5'7
Ozil 5'10

-We do have Giroud who can come on thankfully (providing we keep hold of him)

Kolasinac will add some much needed physicality but I think if that really is our forward line next Season we will need to add a powerful DM/box to box player like Carvalho.

Chelsea and Tottenham both have quite physical teams and United is assembling a basketball side by the looks of things. We need to make sure we have the right balance - something that has been a problem is the past.

 

Everyone banging on about his scoring record in the French league but ignoring the fact 10 of these goals were penaltys. I really think he will struggle to hit 12 for the season

 

Bookmarked

We've got Kustard down predicting 8 for Lacazette and you with 12

 

In which he case he would have surpassed Anthony Martial last Season.

I think Lacazette is ready made for the EPL.
Not sure peoples obsession with using the 'French league' as an argument. Its not like theres a long list of hugely successful players like: 'Henry, Pires, Anelka, Cantona, Drogba, Sagna, Evra, Clichy, Nasri, Lauren, Cabaye, Kante, Koscielny, Desailly, Vieira, Wiltord, Blanc,Gallas, Payet, Loris, Lebouef, Djorkaeff, Makelele, Petite..' to have come here from that league...Oh wait.

The French League easily has the most success at producing players to have excelled in the Premierleague.
