You’re probably right, against very poor from the club, we should have sold him last year, but failing that tried to get something this year.

How come the owner can't see he is losing lots of money through mismanagement.

Arsenal will not be offering a new contract to 30-year-old French striker Alex Lacazette and are inviting bids of about £15m for their former record signing to help fund a move for 23-year-old Chelsea and England forward Tammy Abraham. (Sun)

As I said at the end of last season. The guy has already given up the house he's been renting since he got here.

Nobody wants to take on his salary, we will either have to sell cheap or loan-to-buy and pay some of this season's wages, if not we just will watch him take another year's pay before walking on a free .... should have been decided last year but the "we will not let contracts drop below 2 years speech" was just PR boardroom lies. Once again the club will be losing a high cost asset for almost no money ... will we ever learn?

Probably.

Don't bother going down there and annoying him.

I hope we don't loan him out without a replacement.

Alexandre Lacazette has the best conversion rate (50+ shots attempted) over the last two Premier League seasons (23.7%)

If he is not leaving, he has to be our starting CF and not messed around with being dropped.
Best front 3 is Martinelli, Laca, Saka.
With Martinelli at the Olympics it might be tough for him to get going early in terms of starts, though, so maybe Pepe, Laca, Saka OR Auba Laca Saka.
We have options, BUT Laca and Saka should be ever present with Auba, Pepe and Martinelli competing for the 3rd spot in the front 3.

Agreed, Laca needs to be our starting CF, anything else is just bullshucks ! In fact I want to see Saka, ESR, Partey and Laca starting every single game

Not sure about Martinelli as a first choice starter.

He has shown some promise but also had some pretty ineffective performances.

Yes we should keep him but maybe as an impact sub when we want to change things.

Rather keep Laca for his final year than waste a fortune on bringing in Tammy.

Id rather cut off my eyelids and stare at a 100w bulb than watch Tammy Abraham play.

Dreadful footballer.
