Thank you, Laca: Lacazette set to leave Arsenal

[Zenith]

god I miss this guy, our play revolves around him so much and he's so under appreciated.

Same. For once the international break couldn't have come at a better time.

Against opposition of note, our creativity and general attacking play is a disaster without him as focal point.

Absolutely. It cannot be understated how good this guy is as a complete striker.

His holdup play is Really world class.

+ hopefully Tierney and Bellerin can get up to speed to start making PL cameos, if not regularly starting in Tierney's case.

His hold up play is 1000x better than Girouds

A Russian football agent has claimed he offered Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette to Zenit St-Petersburg over the summer and suggested that the 28-year-old France international forward has a £61m release clause. (Mirror)

We should sell this guy. He’s more hype than anything. Auba is way better through the center. Use the money to buy a top midfielder.

You telling me he’s a better CF than Auba? He’s got only 38 goals for us in 91 games. That’s worse than Giroud. Not elite level.

Giroud is now just four goals away from overhauling Platini as the second best goal scorer for France of all time. Henry 51, Platini 41, Giroud 37. Go on Ollie. You can do it.

Out of those 3 I know who I would play in my team all day long the other two could have turns carrying Henry bag

Best all-round forward we have. Keep at all costs.

Which option would you choose for our front three?

A) Auba—Laca—Pepe

B) Saka—Auba—Pepe

C) Martinelli—Auba—Pepe

This without a doubt.

I rate Laca higher than Auba in terms of natural talent.
To me Laca has so many traits and attributes to his game / style. He is a all rounder.
Will score, create, hold up play to get his teammates up the field, he is such a hardworking striker, never lets the opposition defense rest, always closing down.

On the other hand Auba mostly just concentrates on getting himself into goal scoring positions and having a shot. Shoots more. Which is the most important thing for any striker to be honest.

While Laca just seems to be attracted to the ball. He reminds me of a dog getting excited about a tennis ball.

They all have their shortcomings.
Auba can sometimes be a passanger upfront when our team is being dominated or when the team is struggling to maintain possession.

While Laca’s low shot count and not concentrating on getting in goal scoring positions can be the difference between us winning /drawing and losing a game.

But at the end of the day you need all this diversity.
