Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

To be honest if we were in a market where there were great centre forwards to choose from id say yeah Wenger is being cheap.
But I think Benzema is average, I think Cavani is distinctly average too and if we are simply after someone to be better than Giroud than why not this Russian guy?. He's no less proven than Lacazette who we seem to all be keen on off the back of one season.
I haven't seen this guy so no idea how good he is (though I admit his goal scoring stats are hardly anything to be excited by), but the thing is irrespective of whether we change our approach on the pitch we still need a competent goal scorer and Giroud is not performing.

He doesn't have much of a prolific pedigree, of course.

If he can score goals then fine. But I see his record is 47 in 190 odd games, in a lower quality league. So what does that give us?

A chump.

This guy's record is awful, so let's not kid ourselves he's better than he is, we've had numerous players like this before with poor goal records and 90% of the time they fail miserably, it's not the time to take the risk on another nobody with a rubbish goal record.

His stats are awful. It's an insult to our intelligence if he says this guy is the quality we've been waiting for. You're having a laugh.

Exactly, this guy isn't the answer and we shouldn't even be considering him, rather buy someone who has a proven goal record at least.

A project that Wenger can work on. Yeah I know...he's not what the team needs right now but...I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if Wenger takes a punt on him.

If we do sign him and Wenger gets questioned no doubt he'll do his straw man argument of not being able to spend 250million on Messi.

I do agree but the problem is who is that?.

I would go for Aubemeyang personally who can interchange with Sanchez

We should sign aboomyang and Royce. Double dip at Dortmund.

I would not write him off based on stats.

He is young and can improve but he would not have been first choice 3 months ago.

I would prefer Yarmolenko at this stage.
