Who Will Flop?

  1. Lacazette

  2. Lukaku

  3. Morata

  1. There are some big-money signings already, this transfer window, with Arsenal, United and Chavs all splashing some big cash.

    Respectively, we've seen these clubs buy Lacazette, Lukaku, and Morata.

    Not every big club can be like Spurs and possess a manager and an academy that can keep churning out World class players on a never-ending conveyor-belt of talent. These other big clubs have to try to buy their way to success. But with big money comes big risk.

    It is a fact that very few foreign players, compared with the numbers that are drafting in, actually excel in the Prem. Every season, there is always at least one major flop.

    Who will it be this season?

    I think Lukaku has already proven himself, so I think he'll do okay at United - not great, but nor will be considered a flop.

    I think Lacazette and Morata will fight it out for the season's greatest flop, with Lacazette shaving it by a margin.

    What do you lads think?

    I would ask that we all treat this as a wum-free zone. Thanks, lads.

    Out of the 3 I went for Morata.

    Hoddle is a god likes this.
  4. He wasn't a big-money signing.

    Plus, he was last season.

    Which of the three listed do you think will flop?

    Lukaku has already flopped apparently so I'll say him.

    I do wonder why no one else went in for Lacazette though.
    Especially as his agent has been whoring him every transfer window for 3 years.

    I'm also skeptical as to why Giroud always plays for France rather than Lacazette.

    Time will tell I guess.

    He wasn't cheap, HIAG.

    I think they'll all get 15 league goals, fitness-permitting. What constitutes a flop?

    Arsenal fans should worry how easy it's been to deal with Lacazette. He's now playing against a typical Premier League defence and struggling

  14. Yes, but he wasn't a big-money signing in the grand scheme of things.

    Please keep your obsessive **** to other threads, Pix. Some of us want to discuss just how much of a flop Lacazette is going to be.

    He might be crap for all I know but a friendly in China is no indication of anything.

  16. We don't need to buy big-name players, Tobias. We already have a squad chock-full of them.

    Our academy will supply us with the back up we need.

    Thanks for your interest, however.
    <ok>

    Now, please stick to the topic and tell which of these three will be the biggest flop.

    I saw it another thread.

    United signed him for a lot of money = flop.

    End of.

  18. I'm claiming victory with my prediction already!

    Pixie, do you accept defeat?

    If so, I will let you have your new avatar, shortly.

    Agreed?

  20. Not in the grand scheme of things, no, he wasn't.

    Spurs don't spend the kind of money that the likes of City, Chavs and United spend, let alone the European giants.

    Please take your **** elsewhere, Pix. If you want to take part in this thread, you need to vote. Stick to the subject matter.
