I see Metro are now quoting £80 million for Thomas Lemar, it seems if Arsenal are interested the price rockets.

I interpret that as Monaco wanting to hold onto him, knowing he will eventually be sold, and seeing if anyone is that desperate to sign him that they'd take the bite - of course if the rumour is true in the first place, I don't think the metro is a credible source personally.

I agree with you not the most reliable source, just seems likely if we are interested, can't see that happening to be honest.

If we were playing hard ball for Lacaztte for 45/ 55 mil, we're not going to pay that kind of money for a not yet proven player. Mbappe is slightly different because he's literally the complete striker.

Giroud wants to stay.

I'm well happy with that. Adds another option to our attack.

Prefer welbeck fod that job now for mw dags. I think if he stays fit he's a better option for holding the ball up and winning it. We will sell someone this summer. For me giroud and perez are favourites and walcott and welbeck will stay. Sanchez is the only important one, though.

I think they all have their attributes Steve.

Welbeck has speed, not the best finisher.
Ditto Walcott, but I think he's a better finisher.
Olly, leads the line better than all of the above, decent finisher and brings others into play. Aerial ability better than most.

Perez just needs more game time.

Giroud is a bit part player for me and only that. Perez isn't fancied by wenger. Giroud 31 and getting slower and perez just because he hasn't been given a run, need to go. Only my opinion of course.

Steve,
God help us if we get an injury.

Fancy a game?

It will be interesting to see what players do actually depart this summer. We do struggle to move players on.

Giroud is quality in my opinion. I'd much rather start him up front than welbz and Walcott. Perez seemed alright, but like everyone has said, he wasn't given enough game time. If it was up to me, I'd keep Giroud and get rid of Theo as Giroud offers a lot more up front. Obviously Theo doesn't appeal to a lot of clubs as he's a bag of s**t and is payed way too much.

There is bound to be at least one forward sold with Lacazette coming in, My preference would be Walcott but he is content and comfortable here so I think Sanchez is leaving but's one I feel that could drag out a while, to try avoid him going to city. At least we got Lacazeete in nice and early before the pre season tour so time to settle in. I really think he is about the best striker we could have realistically got with being out of Champions league.

Perez was just a odd signing from the start not sure why we signed him seemed a but of desperate punt to me, he was never going to be nothing more than a squad backup.

I am hoping for a midfielder enforcer rumours about William Carvalho which would be decent, not fussed either way for Marhez tbh.

Giroud may be 31 soon but honestly when has he ever beaten anyone for pace? He will barely be affected by losing speed. Giroud's play is much more Drogba than Owen so I reckon he's got a couple years left in him as a top striker. Which he is.

Lacazette undergoing a medical right now! Get In.

Good news get him in nice and early before the pre season tour lost of time to get settled in, about the best striker we could have got I feel in our current situation. d.

To be fair is David Ormstien reporting it so it has an awful lot of credibility to it, the bloke isn't perfect but his stories are not know for their fictional content.
Certainly worth get excited about.

Great that we are making some movements in the transfer market but that would count for nothing if we lose our best player in sanchez. We need to keep him no matter what.

I would also like us to sign a replacement for cazorla as ramsey doesn't cut it for me. Against big teams, he will be found out and i think michael seri, nabby keita and ceballos are perfect candidates.

Cazorla's unlikely to ever play for us again. Makes me very sad but we can't sit idle. I reckon the club will still pick up a no.8.

Szczesny has bid farewell to Roma. Seems like Ospina will be sold.
