Would he be a good signing or waste of money? I have no doubt we have the resources and pulling power to tempt him our way if we wanted.
I'm hoping some people on here know a bit more than I do about the player. I can only go off what I see on youtube.
In terms of his physique he reminds me a lot of Sturridge, and he seems to be at a similar level in terms of his finishing.
But where exactly would he fit in our side and is he different to what we have? He doesn't look to have the height and strength and hold-up play of Giroud, he looks to be a slightly stronger and slightly slower player than Theo.
If he scored 27 in the French league last year it's possible he'd get around 20 in the PL, but then so would Theo if he started up top every game and Giroud doesn't get far off that himself.
He seems very right-footed and on the right wing we have Theo and Ox clammering for a game, with Sanchez occasionally played there when not on the left.
Would you be excited if we signed him as he seems to be a slight upgrade on what we have and do you think he could be the game changer we're looking for? Or would his signing just result in Ox, Theo, Giroud, and potentially Wilshere/Ramsey spending more time on the bench whilst not really strengthening the first XI?

Bot sure where this would leave Theo. He won't be happy if we aigned Lacazette as they do share alot of similar qualities.
Welbeck too but i couldn't care less about him

Not sure where you get that from unless you're asking for £60m+, but don't want the guy anyway.

Our squad is solid. I think we should keep it together and only sign Alexis/Ozil class players.

10 of those goals were penalties. Add 10 pens to Giroud's goals and you have...?

Scoring penalties is an art form. Ask Higuain.

I really can't judge on Lacazette as I didnt watch him long enough. The guy has talent and is young and can develop. As a good promising talent for the future I would say yes ....Sometimes you need to take risks. Think he could be fit well in at Arsenal.

I think if we did sign him we would play him on the right more often than not.
He has only had one good season in terms of scoring, but has a lot of great qualities.
His price would be more than he is worth but sometimes it is worth the risk for the raw qualities.
Not expecting us to sign him, but would be very content if we did.

We've got to take risk on young and up coming striker..Liverpool took risk on Torres, Suarez look how it paid off..They were good striker but unproven at top levels. If this guy has the talent and potential to develop there are few better clubs to develop than Arsenal.
