Alexandre Lacazette

I love these wanabee ITK's

I disagree, I think we'll utilise Alexis as the CF, use Lemar as LF and then next summer, if/when Alexis leaves go back in for Mbappe and get it done.


Who's this guy?

Journalism student ffs

Hilarious that he's already taken pics despite being on holiday in America...

I think what Arseblog are saying is interesting. We apparently are in close contact with Mahrez. The thinking is that a pairing of Lacazette and Lemar is most likely with no Mbappe or Mbappe and Mehrez with no Lemar.

Which would you prefer assuming Sanchez stays?

Mbappe and Mahrez

Or

Lacazette and Lemar.

Difficult because I love Lemar but Mahrez and Mbappe every day of the week.

I still think Mahrez has a hell of a lot to give.

How do Mbappe and Mahrez even fit in the same team if you keep Alexis? We'd have to go back to 4-2-3-1. Also Lacazette and Lemar is better than Lacazette and Mahrez.

Its the same for Lemar and Lacazette? You're still signing a wide man/inside forward and a striker with both options.

I'd personally prefer Mahrez and Mbappe because that way we've got a suitable option on the right if Özil goes off the boil. Theo cannot play there.

There's the possibility Lemar can play in midfield. That will never happen with Mahrez. Another thing to consider is Mahrez and Özil in the same team is a recipe for disaster. Two players who absolutely hate the defensive side of the game.

Also Mahrez and Özil both are similar kind of players imo. Both like to drift out to the wings, mostly the right one and cut inside and play passes through the line.

I'd never ever consider putting Lemar and Xhaka together in our current system. Two left footers as well, Lemar would work in a 433 for example but not a two man midfield. You're crippling his crossing talents by playing him there, he'd make a fantastic CAM mind.

I get the feeling with Mahrez and Lacazette that if we wanted them we'd have them sort of thing. They're obviously both second options behind Lemar and Mbappe.

Lacazette isn't really a priority for Wenger. His price is known, he wants to move, his club is willing. If Wenger wanted, Lacazette would already have been at Arsenal. Now there's something to be said for having a stable 11 before the pre-season starts, but thats not how Wenger operates. He'll try for Suarez instead of Higuain, he'll try for Mbappe over Lacazette even if he fails. Even last year I believe Perez was a last minute panic buy and Wenger spent most of the summer courting Benzema(I think) - he had around 50m to spend. It was only when both Mertesacker and Gabriel got injured that he invested 35m on Mustafi and 17m on Perez. Lucas was all set to go to Everton before we intervened - and it probably would've been better for all it that move had happened.

The only problem is Lacazettes preferance is Atletico Madrid, and if other CL clubs come in for him, we may end up lower down the pecking order.
Sure Wenger would prefer Mbappe, but if he gets neither we could be screwed.

Lots of wishful thinking there.

Its one season in the Europa ffs we will back in the cl next season. Why are you making it sound we are everton or southampton??

 

[HairSprayGooners]

The fact that the person who broke the Lacazette bid story also just broke FAKE NEWS regarding Martial makes me wonder.

 

[just visiting]

@just visiting Do you know if Aulas tends to get high before press convos?

Aulas says everything and its opposite in mercato time. It's not necessarily wrong but you just can't rely on his declaration.
We are used to that so we don't panic/party each time he says something

Aubam would go to China that could means that Dortmund will need a replacement and Lacaz was one of their top target. And Also, Liverpool wanted PEA too, so w/o him available, lacaz' could also become again one of their targets

 

[Kingslayer]

Aulas' flip-flopping comments are no different to what Gladbach's sporting director, Eberl, was saying about Xhaka last year. I wouldn't take them seriously.

Lemar can definitely play next to Xhaka, ie Cazorla role.

Absolutely no way. Not in a two.

Cazorla only dropped into that role with age, you'd be wasting Lemar's pace and crossing ability using him as a CDM next to Xhaka. Complete waste and having two lefties who don't particularly like using their right foot in that position? Nah fam.

Yeah, his crossing talents are going to be much needed with someone like Lacazette up front

Also am i missing something here? Two left footers in midfield is a problem but two right footers isn't? What we're essentially saying is that if Jack Wilshere was still at his old level he'd be a **** partner for Xhaka because he's left footed?

I'm saying if Alexis is still here playing LW.
