Mm, just seen some Youtube footage of Perez. He doesn't seem to have much pace, nor is he nimble on his feet. He scored a good goal from outside the box -oops - but only scored three in nearly 4 minutes of footage!
Edit. Sky have just put up three goals that he scored last season, two of them good, one excellent!

Sid Lowe seems to think he is quite an efficient player, quite accurate and doesn't need many chances to score. I'd take his word over YT.
Agreed, i'm quite happy with Xhaka and Mustafi, they are about as good as we're going to get in either position and should be bonafide starters once they hit the ground running, assuming they do. The jury is out on Perez, I agree he seems like a Punt, squad level material.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
I gotta say, the bitterness coming off the Everton forum (Grandoleteam forum) about Perez choosing us over them is quite a read. Jumped up scouse wankers on that forum laughing about us only being a top 4 side, we might not be great but we're a damn sight better than those jumped up scout twats.

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Two of these are not done and I'd rate chances 50/50 in a generous mood. Xhaka, good player. But Wenger needs to change everything about the way we play the game to utilise his potential. Stick Xhaka in the middle tip, tapping it around and what's the point? Arteta rebooted. Arteta was also a good player but wasted under Wenger.
Mustafi? No idea really. But again, even if he's a world beater, Wenger needs to change everything about the way we defend if he's to utilise this player and not leave him as another Kos. Kos is a very good defender who could be even better in an organised back five. Instead he's our Alert 5, rapid response, two places at the same time, just leave the glass broken guy. He has to be because of Wenger's love of leaving us so desperately exposed on the flanks. Perez? Not a clue. But he looks to have a bit of pace, a bit of technique and a desire to be direct. So why he's coming here I just don't know. What could be use him for? Retrieving the ball for throw-ins? Again, Wenger will have to change everything about the way we attack if we are to make use of this guy. If he wants to turn him into another, no idea where I'm supposed to play boss, forward, have him maybe drifting here, dropping there, floating over there, standing on Alexis' toes one minute and blocking Theo's shot with his arse after a 105 move, one touch pinball extravaganza that somehow come off then forget it, just get Sanogo. At least nobody knows what he's doing, including himself.
So at any other team, not bad. But here, it all depends on one man.

I've actually played with better dribblers than Walcott in South London local parks..... doesn't mean they will ever play for the Arsenal. Honestly! The stick he gets at times!
So what number is Lucas on the list?
Number 9 if you believe rumours. That's number 9 on the list of striker targets not a number 9 as in where he plays.
Isn't number 9 the cursed number for us? Jeffers, Reyes, Baptista, Eduardo, Park, Podolski ............ not really since Anelka had we had a great player wear it and even he barely lasted.
We really should just retire the number tbh.
Deserved stick. The boy is a waste of space. 12 years a dud.
