Alexandre Lacazette: Laca the Net

[razörist]

Some of you guys should stop overrating the BPL so much, acting like it's all prime maldini's and cannavaro's walking around here. So many joke defenses and defenders walking around here, sick of this bias.

 

[Likemusic]

What kind of argument is that? Based on your logic we shouldn't buy anyone from outside Premier League, because we won't know if they'll perform? Lacazette is entering his prime, and has proved for four consecutive seasons that he is a goal scoring machine. Morata, Lukaku and Belotti are going for minimum £70m. I think £50m(+) is a great price, and I'm sure that he will deliever the goods. Imagine the passes from Alexis, Özil and Xhaka. With his conversion rate, he will score goals.

It's not that we shouldn't sign players from other leagues.
The point is we should sign player according to their attributes, not performance.

Performing well in a much weaker league is easy, and does not guarantee success when moving to a good league.

Buying player according to their attribute will almost guarantee success. If u find a player who can do tricks like Ronaldinho, run like Walcott, and strong like Drogba, he would be the best player in any league.

What's wrong with Lacazettes attributes? And how much have you actually seen of him?

 

[Likemusic]

If that were true we would never have ended up with Henry, Pires, Vieira, Anelka, Petit in the first place.

The reason we buy them is because of their quality, not because of their performance in the league that they are coming from.

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You think Lacazette has scored 100 goals because he practices black magic and performs ritualistic sacrifices to Satan? Performance and quality go hand in hand. In fact performing well is the most comprehensive proof that the player has quality.

The more I read, the more excited I get about him joining. tbh after not getting him last summer I thought we would no longer be interested as his price has shot up. Last season though he seems to have added more to his game so I can understand Wenger focusing on him as our CF even if it did mean smashing our record fee. As for price, I guess they are all shooting up, Utd £70m+ for Lukaku shows that. Personally, I prefer Lacaz any day.

 

[say yes]

People hoping for 20 league goals shows how much Giroud has lowered standards.

He's the starting CF for Arsenal FC.

I'd be very disappointed if he didn't hit 20.

Your talking absoloute rubbish mate you wanna get yourself onto a Crystal Palace forum

Here is an extreme example:

Assumptions:
1) shooting power is the only attribute to consider in this example.
2) The figures are made up

The example:
1) Lacazette can shoot a ball at 100km/h.
2) Goalie in the French league have reaction time much slower than they can handle this speed.
3) As a result, he scores on every attempt in the French league.
4) Goalie in the PL has a much quicker reaction time.
5) As a result, he doesn't score on any attempt in the PL

Conclusion:
Performance and quality do not always go hand in hand. In the above example, the amazing performances of Lacazette in the French league is because of the low level of the league. The fact is that, he doesn't really have much quality.
Therefore, when buying a player, we should look at his attributes instead of how he perform. In the above example, the solution is to buy players that can shoot the ball at a speed, that will definitely beat PL goalies, regardless of what league he is from or how he perform.

Have a day off mate, can't believe I wasted my time reading that absolute rubbish. Buy a player who can shoot the ball at a speed to beat a PL goalie.

You need to lay off the Fifa and actually watch some football

I said it's an extreme example

 

[Likemusic]

The point is, performing well doesn't reflect true quality in low level league.

Attributes are what it matters.

Leave Giroud alone yeah. Think people are unsure about the overall quality of Lacazette more than anything.

I see enough to see a guy who should score 25-30.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Guys you probably want to put your ego to one side and actually read what likemusic is saying.

I fully agree with him - you're buying attributes and quality, not a few goals he scored in the past.

Saw a comment somewhere today. If Xhaka assisted Lacazette, wouldn't it be Boom Xhaka Laca?
