From what he has shown this off season, he does not deserve to start over Giroud. He will have to step up his game.
So far this is the Lyon lackadaisical I was worry about from the get go. He better gets his act together.

he is an Europa League levels striker that was bought to keep the fanbase happy.

People judging Lacazette after 15 minutes of a pre season friendly!

@carlito'sway and myself have watched that guy more than anyone on this forum we know what we are talking about.

Wenger has watched more than both of you combined and he saw fit to spend £50m on him

Wrong. People on here have watched Lacazette for years and raised concerns.

He was desperate, literally no one else. You can argue he spent the last few years trying to sign other before Laca, including Vardy.

you know better than anyone that if wenger didnt bought a striker there would have been riots after 2 defeats.

he was obligated to make a move for a striker.

again, not saying he is a bad player, he is just not what most people think he is.

we bought lucas, welbeck and they are all behind Giroud.
it is not easy to bench the french man, today he showed why he is instrumental.
he works wonders in our team, he connects he is strong intelligent and can score.

 

[GDeep™]

Nothing is being said now about Lacazette that people haven't said for years.

 

[celestis]

Good thing we'll find out this season .

 

[MaraDon]

best signings of the season would be to keep Alexis and Giroud on the team.
imagine Lacazzete walcott and welbeck as our options.
just imagine that.

It's too early to judge him as a player but a touch is something that doesn't need a large amount of minutes to judge.

So far he could ust be a bit rusty but I've seen enough to be slightly concerned.

 

[The_Playmaker]

I didn't catch the game but apparantly Lacazette played 15 minutes and is being judged on it? Wow.

Best thing would be to keep Giroud, and give Laca time. the old bearded Montpellier lad still has something to offer, and not just to middle class ladies in Islington...

 

[Hunta]

Özil was just as bad. Guess these top guys don't care much when their team is winning 5-2 in a pre season friendly.

Imagine that.

Good striker is Giroud, but lets not get carried away my man.

We have needed an elite level forward for years now.

no.

 

[Furious]

So boring. Guy barely kicked a ball and he's Europa League level.

I've been very sceptical of him in the past, but he scored 37 goals last season so he knows how to finish and suits our style, let's see where it brings us.

Stop kicking the player, and then go on to cry about the media doing it afterwards.

 

[MaraDon]

what do we even bother, the forum is getting so afwul lately.
we miss the times we a constructed and educated argue could be hold.

giroud the donkey
laca to save us

 

[bingobob]

Useful run out. Can't really complain about much if anything.

and that is definetly not lacazzette.
