I reckon we will sign Lacazette, but only after a summer of faffing. Meanwhile Sanchez will be sold (to City if they throw enough cash at us) and we'll be a poorer team for it.
There is just nothing about this club right now to get remotely enthusiastic about. I got over the anger stage a couple of years ago but that doesn't make it any easier to follow.
I've spotted someone on here, so you don't need to have spoken to them. If anyone actually believes these pipedream signings like Mbappe have any chance of happening they are frankly delusional. Lemar is possible but seeing as Monaco have said he's not for sale, pretty unlikely.Quote:

Not conivnced that deal will happen either, like someone said it will probably drag on all summer and we may sign him if we lose Sanchez and are desperate (as we are every summer it seems).
You said people think we are "about to sign all these players".
No-one thinks that.
Have a chance of doing so? Well, not all of them but I live in hope (if not expectation) we'll sign someone of note.
Yes that's right, some people clearly think we have a good chance of signing them, that's what I meant.Quote:

Lemar Monaco have said is not for sale and we're not about to go in with a huge offer above the market rate to tempt them.
Lacazette is the one we may have a hope, but we've been here before with him and not signed him, we were first linked with him in 2010, that's 7 years ago! I can't see us paying the asking price unless we're forced to and lose Sanchez, if not we'll continue to make lowball offers and eventually he'll end up somewhere else.
You can't live in hope with this club anymore, they don't offer you hope, just disappointment, every transfer window and summer without fail!
TBF, you're a hermit troll living under a bridge with wifi.Quote:

I don't really follow football enough to know much about him, have looked him up on YouTube and yeah, he looks good but £100m good? At 18? Dubious...
Obviously when I said "spoken to" I meant "argued with online" :pQuote:

This is a guy whose club have priced him out of a move for years, and if he was absolutely top of the line you think so some would have already bit the bullet and signed him.
The problem with Wenger he has a handful of targets and invariably if he fails with them he will sit on his hands for months, partly a failure of scouting, mainly a problem with his mindset.
Herb, it's not our money, if he costs 57million so be it. I do see your side of things and do question whether he is that much of an upgrade on Giroud...but 50million buys you that calibre of striker these days. If Wenger has identified him as the solution then he needs to go and buy him, we are no longer in a position to drag our feet over valuations, we need an improvement on what we have and must just pay the price.Quote:
