GUILLEM SAYS
Someone who scores 17 goals in La Liga should be considered a top signing, especially when you consider he did that at Deportivo. He's fast, has a powerful shot with his left foot, he's clever and has been abroad already (Ukraine and Greece) which straight away makes him different to other Spanish strikers that struggled in the past. He can play as a number nine or more likely on the right hand side of attack. By the way, Arsenal wanted Lacazette as their main striker, but when Lyon asked for €55m they looked somewhere else. They had been following Perez for a year. His father has got an octopus stand in Camden market, so more reasons for him to come to London.
Maybe next summer we can get rid of Walcott, Giroud and Sanogo and sign Lacazette.
never had a problem with Giroud to be honest, only ever had a problem with him being our first choice striker. As a squad striker his scoring stats are fairly good....it's just not the kind of stats you want to be relying on.
Mustafi - Happy about
Xhaka - Not fussed about, wouldn't have signed him personally
Perez - On the fence, hope he turns out good, but a gamble
I think he's still 1st choice, Perez is a winger by all intents and purposes other than his season up front last season. I don't know anything about Perez so I'm hopeful, he's hopefully something a bit different who can score goals, it's a gamble again though because in reality he's totally unproven and looking at what that Deportivo fan says goals wise could be a one season wonder, in a way I'd have felt more comfortable if we'd signed someone with a few seasons scoring goals as it shows they can do it consistently at least.
