SirBalon Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Antoine Griezmann isn't a traditional 9 at all, but all the same he's being used as the reason for Atlético Madrid apparently reigniting their past interest in the Arsenal striker... Griezmann publicly announced his departure from Atleti and now the speculation is rife with other names like Inter's Mauro Icardi and Juve's Paulo Dybala (Dybala being more of a Griezmann replacement than the others). Alexandre Lacazette was also part of a news shock yesterday when FC Barcelona's english language official website was hacked on an unknown gateway where you could add any name via a series of numbers being added in the URL. The announcement of Lacazette joining Barça was up for all of 6 minutes before the club managed to react and patch the problem.

So this rumour is based on someone hacking the site and editing it to look like Lacazette is going there ?!

Chaaay AFC Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 I'd take a decent offer for Lacazette every day of the week if we went out and brought a couple of wingers with the money. Not sure he'd be Atletico's first choice though.

I don’t know whether to believe this one although Atlético Madrid were hours away from signing him before he went to Arsenal. So obviously they have scout work done on him from the past. The Barcelona bit I added because it was weird.
Dr. Gonzo Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Oh they did that for Coutinho too and “accidentally” uploaded it and then took it down. Barca are cunts
6666 Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 No. They can fuck off. I hear Welbeck is available on a free. Or they can go after Lukaku.
Inverted Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Considering how reliant they've been on their forwards this season, maybe it would be sensible to cash-in big on one of them if it allows them to improve elsewhere.
SirBalon Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 Breaking: Alexandre Lacazette spotted in Barcelona holding talks with his agent and representatives of FC Barcelona. More to follow...
Chaaay AFC Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Please, please be true. Hopefully we can con Barca out like Liverpool did with Coutinho.
Carnivore Chris Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Another terrible signing on the way then who will offer and do nothing. What is it with all these junk signings?

Massively overrated by the fan base, no doubting he is a good player but he is not elite. I actually think Giroud was superior and we spent more on fees and wages on Lacazette. His partnership with Aubameyang doesn't really work for me and it creates an imbalance in our team. We could easily replicate his goals with a decent winger and it would mean Aubameyang can consistently play as the 9. Anything over £50m would be a massive win for us.
Panna King Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 38 minutes ago, SirBalon said: Agree. Not sure what Barca are getting out of this, he works hard but offers nothing at all apart from hold up play, he is a very poor finisher and that is why he gets no where near the French team. Another broken transfer for Barcelona if this one goes through.

We have no wingers that is the real problem at Arsenal, our width is Bellerin/Niles and Kolasonic at Wingback that is it, we have nothing as all the wide players got sold and never replaced. Arsenal do need a clear out and there are only 2 or so players that are worth any kind of value in the whole Arsenal team, losing Lacazette isn't a loss at all but Arsenal need to replace him.
Administrator Stan Posted June 1, 2019 Administrator Posted June 1, 2019 Barca can and should do much better than Lacazette.
Spike Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 5 minutes ago, Stan said: Barca can and should do much better than Lacazette. They can but if he is a benchwarmer, it's fine.
Burning Gold Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 5 minutes ago, Stan said: Barca can and should do much better than Lacazette. Arsenal can and should do much better than Lacazette. Astonishing if this is true
Administrator Stan Posted June 1, 2019 Administrator Posted June 1, 2019 Just now, Panna King said: Lacazette was just another version of Wiltord. I remember Wiltord being quite important for Arsenal's early 00s success. Feel like Lacazette could still reach that level but incomparable right now I think.
