Alexandre Lacazette

[carlito'sway]

So you haven't actually seen Mbappe play for Monaco then. He plays as the furthest man forward with Falcao as the support striker. So Deschamps could certainly use him in a central role rather than Giroud. He chooses not to for the same reason he starts Giroud over Lacazette. They aren't the type of striker he wants in that position. So it has nothing to do with Giroud being better than either one. He's just different.

He plays in a 2 man set up not as the central striker. That is Falcao's role. Therefore, he can not be compared or competing with Giroud. Let's leave it there. Pointless.

Everyone's chatting as if he's already signed.

Are there concrete links anywhere?

I saw a pic of Olivier Giroud in Lyon on Facebook.

Tells others to take a chill pill while ramming his opinion of Lacazette and Co Down everyone's throat.

Pot calling the kettle n all that

Says the guy who is likening Lacazette to Aguero or stating he will be the second best striker after Kane next season for facts. I get it.
I am actually convinced you have rarely seen him played.

Concrete links of a bid placed. That's it.

Semantics. He still plays as the point man -- the poacher -- not as a wide man as you suggested was the only role he had ever played. It's just a different formation. Falcao's role is to support and feed Mbappe, not the other way around. Aside from that, I agree. Let's leave it there.

So are you worried we're signing Lacazette?

Also says Atletico's offer was €53m + €12m in bonuses and we'd have to pay around that.

 

[Sanchez11]

Not far off we bid there is always add ons these days in a deal

Aulas say we need to buy Laca replacement before let him leave.

I guess this one is done

 

[Hunta]

Mbappe.

 

[field442]

Atletico were surely getting him as the Griezmann replacement at that price. Can't see them paying that sort of fee otherwise. I imagine they'll go after Costa now instead with Griezmann deciding to stay.

[hydrofluoric acid]

Hopefully there is no one available to replace him and he stays in Lyon.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hopefully there is no one available to replace him and he stays in Lyon.

I hope so too. Giroud staying and will piss you off for another year

 

[Arsenio Venger]

Hopefully there is no one available to replace him and he stays in Lyon.

Dude we can't keep standing there holding our dicks every year, passing on striker after striker. We need an upgrade. He's an upgrade. Mbappe ain't coming and that wonderful perfect striker doesn't exist.
