Lucas Perez (official)

[bignev]

There's an oxymoron if I ever read one. Wenger is bemoaning the fact that there is one price for English clubs and another for European clubs. Well they all know that from this year, the lowest placed club will get more than the CL because of TV rights. They want a piece of it.

Not sure you know what Oxymoron means

We could have really been waiting on Asano's work permit and once rejected we changed our minds about Perez.

if he signs, he will be probably making his debut on his 28th birthday

It really wouldn't be surprising if that was the case.

He's done crazier things in the past.

Be fair though MO......it would have ranked high up there on the list

I mentioned this yesterday, but it's probably more applicable here.

If Lucas can be competent enough to make varying runs in behind, can trap and hold the ball up to bring in others without killing the move dead, can cause some trouble with his speed of movement and can finish with composure, he'll be a really good signing.

Since RVP became RVC, we haven't had anyone up front who can be relied upon to consistently do these things on even a basic level sometimes. If he only provides these qualities for 25% of our games, it will still be a huge improvement over the unreliable and hotchpotch situation we have now.

Welcome to Asano, Lucas.
