Just stating facts thatās all.
So to summarise you donāt really rate him but you also think he could be the difference between us winning the EL or notā¦
I think we are likely doomed anyway but heās far superior to Welbz whoās just utter garbage, btw Iāve always said heās a decent player just not the world class striker some on here were preaching.
I still donāt get how that works. Yes, if Dortmund wanted a replacement for Auba, thatās fine- give Giroud to them. However, if the Giroud to Chelsea deal couldnāt happen, would there have been no Auba to Arsenal? Was it just to balance the books? (Iām not being churlish, Iām just baffled by the whole scenario. A little clarity would be most welcome!)
In any event, it looks like stupid business. Giroud looked incredibly sharp and versatile yesterday. Painful to watch tbh.
To be fair I do not ever remember anybody putting Lacazette in that bracket.
I didnāt say everybody, I said like certain posters I wont mention names.
I think so yeah.
Dortumund wanted Batshuayi to replace Auba and Chelsea needed a replacement for him
I did say that my biggest worry about getting Auba was selling Giroud to make it happen and thereby only having Auba and Laca as our strikers, facing the possibility of having to rely on Welbeck as our striker.
Fuck me. Mkhi and Ozil better get their scoring boots on for the Europa otherwise we are fucked, because Welbs is not a goal scorer.
Welbeck isnāt that bad tbh as third strikers go for me heās best in the league
Welbeck as a defensive striker isnāt that bad. Probably will pop up a goal or two surprisingly.
Welbeck is shit when you NEED him to score.
So does this completely replace the āLacazette is unhappy for other reasonsā theory?
Didnāt the article yesterday say the problem had been around for a while ? Today itās a surprising swell ?
Logical way to understand this is, Laca had knee problem for a while but no treatment was needed and taken. After the Spuds game his knee swelled and need immediate action (surgery).
That means, as long as your knee doesnāt swell, you just keep playing till you canāt.
Pretty much. Also given that thereās nothing really to play for in the next 6-8 weeks itās better having him back for the finish of the season in case we go far enough in Europe.
I donāt know if Iād use the word ā surprising he got a swell ā if it was a pre existing injury, but Wenger gonna Wenger.
might also explain why he has been looking slow and dull in attack recently and has lost his mojo too, i wouldnt wanna be running around a pitch with a dodgy knee, fuck that!
Arsenal ha employed top class medical staffs. Surely they would know better than non medically inclined journalist.
