This is so short sighted and how a lot of AFC fans think nowadays ........ because they've forgotten what being a big club is all about.
Is Jesus running away from City because of Aguero? did RVP and Adebayor run away from Arsenal when Henry was 1st choice?
Big clubs have more than one striker and a player like Lacazette won't get a better contract than what we've given him.
Top it off with Cup games, European games, Prem games, substitutions and injuries, how have we not got more than enough games for two strikers??
If Lacazette played every tourney bar Prem games which Auba would play his calendar would be full.
We are not a big club anymore, we are just above Everton and Burnley...
If Giroud was asking to leave because of Lacazette then Lacazette will not rot on the bench for Auba, we are better off selling him and replacing him with someone who will fill that role.
So your answer is to let a better striker go and get a crappy striker instead who won't be effective even though we may be back in the Champions league next year if we win the Europa? ........... don't we already have Welbeck for that?
All this based on what Giroud did after being here for 5 years and because you think we've turned into Everton or Burnley??
Well I'll give you an alternative, we still are a big club regardless of our performance, we can afford good players etc so why shouldn't we have them especially when they are already contracted here??
Did Man Utd sell all there top players when they had to play in the Europa the other year??
Your reasoning here is ridiculous mate, yes we should do as you say if we want to get sh*tter, however I more had the idea of us going up again?
To top it off until Lacazette says he wants to leave I'd have no intention of trying to force that, absolutely crazy talk.
