Sounds like Atleti want to do a swap with Lemar who has been a flop. I'd take the cash as they are desperate for goals after losing Griezmann.

Same, take the money even if its in long installments, not Lemar.
Unless they would be willing to offload someone else ie Partey or someone we could do with, just not Lemar.
I posted many months ago that if you sell Laca and play Auba as CF, and buy a better winger than Auba, you are in a better position.
Zaha + Auba is better than Auba + Laca
Take the money and re-invest it in other areas - either CM or CB. Auba at CF with Pepe, Martinelli, Nelson, Saka, etc as wide options would be enough for the remainder or the season.
No way we include Partey, he’s probably been our best midfielder this year.
Plenty of players have had frustrating spells at a club before coming good elsewhere.
Feels weird that people would drool over Zaha, who flopped hard at Utd, yet would turn down Lemar.
It’s a risky move considering if he fails it’s going to be even harder to move him on.

no one out until someone in, I hope - we are not in a strong position to upgrade this window, so getting a decent sum for Laca may not buy us anyone better
One plays in the PL and the other doesn’t would likely be on of the reasons behind backing Zaha to do better at AFC than gambling on Lemar coming good in general as well as thriving within the PL.
People wanting zaha are sick in the head, imagine him and pepe in the same side, both attracting players out wide and then ignoring the players they just opened up space for in the middle of the pitch because pulling of a trick would look better :frustrated:
I'd imagine Zaha is too old now for Arsenal to invest. The point is, if Arsenal can sell Lacazette for a good fee, Arteta will have more funds and a more balanced squad for a rebuild. If they can get Athletico to overpay, even better and that's one less contract headache for the summer. Lacazette should've been sold last summer.
Got no problem with laca being sold just dont want the club to waste the money or get a player we dont need in exchange
