    A player's absence from that list doesn't mean they are shit, but a player's presence on it means they probably aren't.
    But yes, it remains to be seen how he will fare in our team.
    But him not being the "new Henry" doesn't make him shit either, chances are we'll never, or very rarely, see the likes of him again.

    He's clearly second tier. You can tell from his control, his passing, the general technique to his game. But he makes some good runs and he has a bit of pace. If he has a cooler head than Theo or Welbz and is prepared to put in more effort than Giroud (which is guaranteed provided he remains alive) then he's an upgrade. Wright or Anelka though? I don't think so. Think Defoe. Not bad and he'll get a few goals. But you don't mention the name when you talk about the world's great strikers. And that's what I mean by second tier. Not that he's a bad player, but he's not up at that top level. Then again, nor are a lot of the hype merchants commanding the big fees.

    If it's a creative and guile laden midfield he needs to excel, then he's in trouble.

    As long as he's clinical in front of goal and his touch isn't so bad it fucks him up in front of goal, we'll be ok. Also, Wenger has to play him up front and not on the wing.

    Been saying this for ages, but Lacazette is the type of striker we should have developed Theo into. But saying that, I don't think Wenger is a fan of that type of player up front. He's avoided playing Theo there for ages and it took an age for him to buy Lacazette.

    I think was screwed over when West Ham wouldn't allow him to move to Man Utd. I wouldn't call him second rate at all.

    Özil and Xhaka have to really step their game up this year. We have the sort of striker they should be able to supply.

    The most important thing it is down to is Wenger not playing him on the wing.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    That too. We have to hope Lacazette hits the ground running. Last season, poor Perez started the opening game up front, got no service despite having Ozil and Cazorla behind him and never started up front again. We ended up having to sub on Sanchez and Giroud.

    I have a feeling Wenger will do something similar and bring Giroud in to play up front with Lacazette playing on the left and Ozil on the right.

    Ok. That also doesn't make him "shit". His scoring record is excellent, he could be exactly what he needs. Whether he'll be able to fit into our team and do it in the PL remains to be seen.
    He hasn't even played a competitive game for us yet, stop being ridiculous.

    The French manager has been playing Giroud over Mbappe, Martial, Benzema and Griezmann. I wouldn't pay any attention to Tranny.
