i'd rather get Dybala.

Difference is Laca can lead the line while Dybala is more like a Joel campbell type. Very talented wide forward. we have enough of those. we need a goal scorer



he's the top scorer in Seria A.

lacazette would struggle to lead the line on his own in the epl.

He would fit in well as a wide player though

Dybala's leading the line for Palermo if I'm not mistaken? I don't know about Lacazette, he's having a good year, but I doubt he can keep this up...

he is no different from sturridge or berahinho who are leading the lines. People really overrate the physicality in the PL. Hell this is the league where Silva, Aguero, Sanchez and Hazard are the kings

Why not? Last year he scored 22 goals in 54 matches (age 22). This year he's scored 22 goals in 26 matches. He's improved incredibly this year as expected, given his age and development potential. He said he bases his game on Henry and claims a 30 minute chat with him before the start of the season did the trick...

yeah, but still. It's the french league, and he didn't impress me much last year. I've only seen him in 3 games this season though.

Lacazette looks more of a Wiltord then an Henry.

lets not forget Wiltord was running riot in the French league..before we signed him.

Apparently only Ibra and Lacazette have scored 19 goals or more in the first half of a Ligue 1 season.

Is he really only 5ft 9? Always thought he was at least 6ft. Not sure whether I want him not, with the addition on Welbeck I'd rather we signed a player that can completely lock down the central spot.

Did he score again earlier? His name is popping up a lot on twitter.

Dybala over Lacazette is hilarious. I like Dybala, but he's not there yet. Lacazette is already emerging into an elite goal scoring machine. I'd pay anything for this kid.

Do you watch Palermo then?


How is Dybala? I've heard he's very Aguero-esque. And do you think he can play as a lone striker for us?

Grimandi is scouting at the Lyon-Metz game. I would assume Lacazette is one of the main reasons he is there.
