Good news.

Mahrez is skilled but he doesn't defend much, does he?

I find no information that the BBC claims we are close to Mahrez.
It's probably BBC radio show chatter.

Still all kind of weird bullshit sources on this.
John 'Legend' Cross hasn't said anything so there's clearly nothing to see here.

Mahrez is a great player but where does he fit into our team?
If Alexis and Özil stay as they are expected to and we keep our very successful 3-4-2-1 formation, then there's no room in Mahrez in the starting lineup. The only way we could accommodate Mahrez is if we reverted back to the 4-2-3-1 which although a front 4 of LMAO in Lacazette, Mahrez, Alexis and Özil is an exciting prospect. However I don't want to risk losing the defensive and midfield stability that the 3-4-2-1 brings as well as having two Wing backs in Seo and Ox who are perfect for the formation.

I'm waiting for The Metro and The Arsenal Horse to have their say before I believe anything.

Rotation. It's what big clubs do. Keeps players fresh.

Dean calls one right! Perhaps he'll redeem himself this summer...

People making a meal out of these formation discussions. Sign the player, and worry about it later.
We've some absolute **** players like walcott, giroud, perez, ox, etc. stinking up places in attack ffs. Le'ts get real here.

Way ahead of the curve. John C saying we want Lemar, which came true, and Lacazette being our main target which Ornstein confirmed. What more do you want.

You rate Cross?

Not particularly. But looking at the above article and lately paying attention to what he writes he's not as bad as made out to be.

Cross tweeted and (then deleted) that we are happy with our striking options we weren't looking to bring any forward in less than a week ago.

I cannot comment on speculation.

We were linked to Lemar in January. Lacazette's been a target for years.
