Lacazette has come home (official).

[Niall_Quinn]

Using Google translate: Yes he is coming to Arsenal.
Im sooooo enthused!.....Cant blame the lad. Wenger has probably promised him a lot of Wonga plus dreams of pairing him with Messi next year.

Yeah, the fans will have to get behind the guy and give him encouragement and then hope he makes a step up. But it continues to demonstrate how out of touch Wenger is with the requirements of his own team and especially the expectations of the fans. We are not getting a Wright or Henry here. Fans will figure that out pretty quickly and then it might become a tough ride for the player. He'll have so much expectation heaped on his shoulders plus the record fee, and unfortunately he's just not that good. Maybe he's a late developer? We can hope.

So you think we'll sell Alexis for under £40m? I suppose we don't have much choice with one year left on his contract.

Feels bad. It's like we're paying to downgrade our star man.

What I meant was the initial price we signed Alexis for... my bad. I don't think we'll sell Alexis for less than 40 mill though no.

Aulas has pretty much confirmed this is done.

Pretty happy with this signing, a goalscorer at long last, hopefully this is the end of Giroud as well.

[Power n Glory]

We need to agree wages with the player, right?

[Letters]

Pretty happy

Me too, I think he will be a very solid signing.

Can't wait for the Xhaka Laca link up.

Can you imagine if we spend more on Lacazette than we get for Alexis?

Yes.

Yes I can.

His record is insane really, he scores goals for fun.

However, cant help but feel we are going for 2nd rate French talent compared to the likes of Lemar, Mbappe, Dembele, Griezmann etc.

Cant understand how he hasn't scored that many for France as well, Giroud has a much better scoring rate (and way more appaearances).
