Alexandre Lacazette - OFFICIAL BID turned down

[Özim]

Ozim give it a rest fella, you manage to see the negative side in everything.

We bid and it if official, the windo wont close until next month and there is still time to sign him up.

It's not going to happen IMO, if it was we'd have been in there and been quick to make another offer like most clubs do.

It's a lowball offer that was never going to be accepted in a month of Sundays, at the end of the day I'm not being negative it's reflective of our terrible transfer policy and transfer windows of the past, I'm not expecting any different now.

We've had 2 months to sign players and the players we're going for weren't even at the Euros, so I'm not buying this wait until the end of the transfer window nonsense, it should have been done and dusted by now the fact it isn't tells you all you need.

Interesting how we snapped up Xhaka a player we wanted with minimal fuss isn't it, that's because we were serious about him, transfers aren't often that complicated if you stump up the money.

Last summer it was the Benzema nonsense, the summer before the Higuain/Suares saga, this is yet another one in a long list of failed pursuits.

Can't believe people still buy into this stuff, the most feasible was that gy from Toulouse who comes cheap (Wenger will be rubbing his hands together) and is relatively undiscovered.
