Lucas Perez (Out)

[Yousif Arsenal]

but he doesn't seem to have a place, not even on the bench

Haha yeah but with Europa league he'll get many chances

 

[Garrincha]

Deadline day subsidised loan deal then.

Even less chance of starting centrally now & useless wide.

Rather keep Joel or Akpom than this guy.

Akpom and Joel are both pure crap footballers all 3 need to be sold but at least Lucas show promise everytime he play.

This Lucas Perez business will always puzzle me. He clearly was talented enough to play more for us than he has. Yet he was given virtually no chances. It makes me wonder if something else has been going on, though I've no idea what it would be.

He was a player who has never been considered good enough for a top Spanish team, even now, no one is kicking down our door to sign him.

You can be a talented footballer and not good enough to play.

He started three games outside of the cups, how can he not be in a hurry to leave

I'd say he's got 70k of reasons.

Wenger treated this guy very badly...anyone who thinks otherwise isn't being honest. As soon as Welbeck came back from injury, he automatically went ahead of him which is bullshit. It also doesn't help that Wenger himself came out to say he isn't playing much because Welbeck had returned from injury. What has Welbeck done to get such preference other than his nationality?? It's a shame because I think he would've gotten 12 - 15 goals for us if he had played more...was looking forward to him linking up with Alexis and Özil.

Giroud >>>>>> Perez.

Sell him and keep Giroud/Welbeck.

 

[tcahill]

I'd rather keep Perez if possible. From the few times i've seen him play he's looked very decent, maybe not first team quality but certainly better than most other clubs second choice option. He can also play the CAM role in the 3-4-3 (whatever Özil and alexis play) as he's been a offensive CAM for most of his career.
This is assuming one of Giroud or Welbeck leaves btw, we don't need 4 strikers including Lacazette.

 

[Goonerboy_1989]

Sell Campbell and Walcott.

Keep Perez.

The few times we've seen him have been against lesser teams, and bar the volley v Bournemouth I don't see how people can come to the conclusion that he's of any use.

Currently 5th in line for the CF role and if it comes to it I'd rather throw in an academy player.

Big difference between good enough for Barcelona and Real Madrid and being good enough to deserve a chance ahead of Walcott, Iwobi or Welbeck.
A "top Spanish team" wouldn't sign any of them if we offered a delivery service.

 

[Camron]

Sell Campbell and Walcott.

Keep Perez.

I liked Campbell. Dynamic player, good link-up with a pass. Decent squad player, during the bargain-years. Honestly never really had a chance here, unlike Theo who still rides on memories of his early years, when he got me excited with his pace. Theo needs a team/setup where he can be explosive again.

I miss this Theo.

This. Crazy good, what the **** went wrong afterwards ?

Yes, Campbell was actually quite good when he got the chance. Unfortunately not that often..
Similar case to Perez I guess

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Peoples opinions on Perez are ridiculous. He's a fantastic footballer and showed it every time he played for us.

We never really saw much of that Theo anyway. Usually against teams who were open at the back, most teams park the bus against us and he had nowhere to run to. He would do well in a team where other teams have to get 3 points and not play for a draw or damage limitation.

True, he just never got a chance.

I'm talking Valencia, Sevilla, Villarreal etc.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

He's staying in London while we go on tour apparently. Quite telling.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

He won't be traveling with the squad but no transfer imminent.
