Thank you, Laca: Lacazette set to leave Arsenal

[Salibatelli]

A farmers league where we signed our best CB from.

Meanwhile the one we signed from the PL and cost 50 million is making errors almost every week

Who are you saying is our best centre back?

Gabriel.

The guy who plays for us in the PL having left the farmers league - as all good young players eventually do.

I think it's time to post the central defenders that made the short list for team of the season last year in Ligie 1:

Yunis Abdelhamid, Marquinhos, Alexander Djiku, Nayef Aguerd, Marcelo, Harold Moukoudi, Presnel Kimpembe, Loic Bade, Axel Disasi, Jose Fonte, Guillermo Maripan, Duje Caleta-Car, Saliba and Sven Botman

How bad must the rest of them be if that is the best 15 central defenders in the league!

An array of superstars there.

I know
The nominations are also for about the top 50% of players in their positions. You only have to be average to make the list

One of them is Jose Fonte... the 37 year old ex Palace, West Ham and Southampton player who got too old for the PL and went to play for Dalian Yifang in China before ending up at Lille.. nominated for team of the season, though. so lets sign him up... what the hell is Arteta waiting for!!!?

Yeah cos some players don’t fail in the PL and then excel elsewhere.

you do make us laugh!

id take a 37 year old fonte over the calamity that is ben white and that says something

You’d save yourself 50 million you could spend elsewhere as well, perhaps you could get Bissouma Brighton’s star player.

White leaves and Brighton to better than ever, clearly he wasn’t the reason they were decent.

[Salibatelli]

Let's hope 'continue to play well' doesn't mean continue to get 2/10 performances.

You should tell your pal Arteta as he’s been putting out 2/10 performances on a regular basis for 2 years now

he was a shite player and turning out to be an even worse manager

One day when he’s long gone we can look back and judge him as the flop he really is, most people take inspiration from the greats, not Arteta though, for him it’s Ted Lasso!

we'll be astounded that we took on a guy with zero managerial experience

imagine calling yourself a big club lmao

The next Klopp they said, instead we got something very disappointing, the next Flop!

Don't feed Paddy/GA/Jez.

Mods need to clean up this thread.

I thought there was an update on Laca, instead it's spillover from the BW-Saliba civil war.

Man what’s this trash in our best players thread ffs


Man like Lacaaaaaaaa

Should be starting at CF in this system.
The fact he's playing for a deal at another club is actually a positive. He'll want to show what he can do.

[swipe right]

Sell him to Newcastle in January. They’ll need to make a few signings to avoid relegation and won’t get any top stars till the summer. Laca can help them avoid relegation and then become a squad player for 2-3 seasons.

I even think he is good enough to be in a top 4 team If the team plays to his strength. He can play like Jesus or Firmino, can't he? He can run, open up spaces, hold up the ball and be an annoying target man up front.

[Highbury Hillbilly]

We still need him for this campaign. And Newcastle are not City circa 2008, they dont need to buy overpriced PL players to earn credibility.

PEA aside, we only have Eddie to fill in at CF. Dont kid yourselves about Martinelli and Balogun, they aren’t ready.

[Santi]

Martinelli is better than Eddie though. Either way we should be keeping Laca and loan out one of the kids

[Santi]

HE'S OUR FRENCHMAN OUR NUMBER 9

[Ach]

Surely starts alongside Auba

[Highbury Hillbilly]

A guy who loves the club. Hustled tirelessly the second he came on.

[Power n Glory]

Has to start the next game. Made a massive difference even before the goal.
