SirBalon Posted May 16, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this rumour is based on someone hacking the site and editing it to look like Lacazette is going there ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaaay AFC Posted May 16, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted Posted May 17, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
