I hope that he kicks the ball,not the ground.

Well if that happens just merge it with the Giroud thread.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2017 8:01 amHopefully he is the 20+ PL goals a season striker we need, but I'll hold off spunking my kacks until he actually looks like he can do the job.
I'm not too worried about the France caps thing tbh. National managers don't always pick the best players and often have a soft spot or misplaced loyalty to lesser players. For example Smudger should have won a lot more than 13 Engerland caps and Wrighty should have won a lot more than 33 and Adams more than 66 (Piglips fucking Ferdinand has 81 ffs).
I just have this naggging feeling he will turn out to be about the same level as Giroud and Welbeck... hope I'm wrong.
We must keep track of this thread and we can bring it up in a couple years when all the posters on it are whining about him being "arrogant" or "cocky".

Re: Welcome Alexandre Lacazette
All joking aside, I know fuckk all about him except that he is French and has cost us a shed load of Wonga - So I will reserve judgement for 2 seasons at least. (ie: judge him in May 2019 - a bit like wenger I guess).

Re: Welcome Alexandre Lacazette
I agree Flash,I think that I actually started a sign him thread about 2 years ago.
I don't think that he needed to pull the,"I've always dreamed of playing for this club," bullshit though,only the AKB's and the "Emiration" believe that level of bollocks.
Also,I hope that the talk of signing Mahrez is rubbish.We shouldn't go anywhere near that lazy
He is just another that believes his own,and his agents publicity.

Particularly french managers, just remember that mentalist Domenech.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2017 8:01 amHopefully he is the 20+ PL goals a season striker we need, but I'll hold off spunking my kacks until he actually looks like he can do the job.

Re: Welcome Alexandre Lacazette
is there any danger of Wenger playing this guy out on the wing?
45m is a considerable amount of money but when you hear figures like 75m being chucked around for Lukaku and 200m for Harry Kane it's difficult to put anything into perspective these days.

Spot ON! Anyhow it's going to be Alexis out on the 01st September, so it's a case of one in one out.

One of the best things about this signing is that it dispels the bollocks that you have to be in the Champions League to attract the best players.... If you pay the money they will come even if you're playing in Division 3

Re: Welcome Alexandre Lacazette
TBH I'd sign Fat Tongue Kane ahead of either Lacazette or Lukaku in a heartbeat. Knows the PL like the back of his hand so no "bedding-in" time required and he is a deadly finisher. Proven PL 20+ goals a season right there.northbank123 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2017 8:01 pmis there any danger of Wenger playing this guy out on the wing?

How did he end up at the fucking sewer playing for the vermin? What a waste.

The vast majority of modern mercenary footballers could give two shits about anything other than the money. You pay, they will play.

Re: Welcome Alexandre Lacazette
Im still not sure we signed him , I had a horrible dream last night and instead of him we'd signed Alanis Morrisette to sing the wonder of you as the teams came out !
