Alexandre Lacazette: Alex Swan Song?

[Macho]

Just to be clear, I don't hate Laca and acknowledge you didn't say I did. I'm just very disappointed as what appears to be a massive outlay (transfer fee is mot Laca's fault) for a player who overall isn't more effective than Giroud. He's scored the most in a dire season performance wise, but unlike Auba and Pepe, I don't see an upside for him at his very best. Auba we know can score for fun and even though I doubt Pepe, I can't deny that if he fires, he'll be great. Laca has never had that level.

At least you answered. I agree Lacazette is definitely on the way down and you won’t catch me arguing otherwise.

I liked your formation idea as well, I’d prefer Auba upfront myself but certainly worth a try.

If it makes you guys feel better anyways I am pretty sure this is Lacazette’s last season.

If you listen to how Arteta talks about him, he’s very careful in that he lavishes him with praise but never actually calls him good or openly declares his desire for him to stay.

I can understand the reluctance to play Auba up front but more than anything, I'd like to see the front three interchanging a bit more if only for 20 minutes or so when things aren't working.

Ive said it in the Summer we should have sc old him for even 8 million. No one will give us a good transfer fee consider the crazy wages he is on.

Fkhange was alright once upon a time, the Emery Era did a number on him.

Can't believe people celebrated when we were said to be offering him a new contract. Let's hope it was fake news. Worst striker in the history of Arsenal I think.

Neeks who have no business mocking anybody is nothing new. Fkhange is an idiot.

I hear Giroud is available again, I’m sure most of you would jump at the chance since we love rummaging through Chelsea’s bins for elderly players.

Nah man. We’ve had Jeffers and in case you forgot we had Bendtner (Mind you he had way more talent than lacazette but just wasted his away).

Lacazette is not a bad player stats wise. He’s scored 40 goals in about 100 appearances. Perhaps both Emery and Arteta have not been utilizing him to his strengths?

I will be honest I was never a fan of him coming here and the only reason I did like the idea was because I thought there was no way that he would be slower than Giroud. Our forward line needed a fast striker at the time but as it turns out they have the same speed. -_-

Nah. I saw Giroud for France. He is the faster one now.

Misses over the last four or so years. Harsh.

People won’t wanna see it but this piece backs up what I’ve been saying all along tbh.

Fkhanage is one of those “cross the road” types.

Don’t bother man.

Was a good read though. The “there’s no such thing as a bad player” was one of those ‘mind...blown’ moments.

People still tryna convince us Lacazette is good in 2020, I have to respect the resilience tbh. That one dancing celebration really left a mark on certain guys.

Just pointing out that the same guys complaining about Lacazette, were the same people complaining about Giroud, Wenger, Emery, Ramsey, etc not even realising that even if you remove them away from the equation the club is still sh*t basically.

All it really take is winning games and good form to stop the moaning though, hopefully we can do it soon.

This sums it all up, even tho bizarrely the person who tweeted this is using this poor record as a way to back him.

For £55 million as a striker at a club like Arsenal, to have that sort of record is really really poor.

We got taken to the cleaners by Aulas on this. He must have laughed all the way to the bank.
That may be an unpopular opinion here but Giroud is a better striker than Laca.

That's not an unpopular opinion, that's a fact.
But even younger Giroud would look like crap in this Arsenal team to be honest
