No we aren't? We play in a formation which just needs a forward to play in the front 3. Lemar is simply perfect for every role.

League is very weak
It's a risk but if the club rate Lemar more then you back them.

I think mahrez is more needed than lemar imo

Oh no I back the deal completely, but it feels like another one of those deals that we chase and end up losing out on plan B.
It happens way too often. I'm worried Lacazette will be our only money signing if Lemar goes off the table.

Imo Mahrez is and was always just an Alexis replacement.

Essentially, Mahrez is our 3rd choice behind Alexis and Lemar. We want to start the next season with 2 of them. It's a little backwards since he is a top player but him giving up on us is a good sign not a bad one.
Mahrez is a step back to the ***** Arsenal era of nice football that wins nothing. Arsène hasnt been good enough tactically in over a decade to win with that style. The last couple of windows have all been about pace / power.. Hope it continues.

Doesn't sound that stupid. He's done more in the game to date and has showed greater upside.

Don't know mate - whilest I also want Lemar as first choice your words are way too harsh.
I mean, the guy you're talking about was carrying ****ing Leicester City to the title by constantly ripping top clubs a new one.
Mahrez has also constantly shown that he is pairing breathtaking football with successfull football with a lot of end product.
He was POTY, he's a winner and his last season wasn't so bad actually, mostly average when the whole of his squad wasn't up to it what is not that surprising for such a club after having done miracles before.
Arsenal's era of nice football that you're talking about was also not a thing of the last few years and before we merely missed out on titles because we either didn't have enough squad depth to cope with ever occuring injury epidemics or just constantly lost our best players to rivals.

Mahrez isn't any slower than Pires or Ljungberg, the pace/power we had was mostly in central areas, Henry, Vieira, Gilberto, Campbell, Toure etc.
This is why I wanted us to sign Fabinho (and Mahrez) I don't like the Ramsey and Xhaka combination as much as everyone else seems to, we need a faster, more athletic midfielder imo.

Not this myth again
Tactics looked pretty good in the cup final.
Nobody can stay 20 years in the top 4 of the EPL with ****tactics. Ask Mourinho!

I would happily sign Mahrez if Özil exits this summer but cant see how both + Xhaka in midfield is anything but regression to Wengers previous ideals.
I cant think of another team that attempts to fit this number of granted v.talented but niche players into the same eleven.
For me it requires the set up to be perfect tactically & puts unneeded pressure on those behind. I just dont see Wenger winning the league going down this route again.

You're putting Xhaka in that criteria? Wot.
Definitely.

Why? He's the complete opposite?
Another niche player who has to be built around. Outstanding in some areas but we saw the difficulty in finding the correct midfield partner & set up to fit him with Özil.

Everyone in our squad other than Alexis is a niche player going by that logic though.
