Lacazette / Aubameyang are much more suited to our style of play than fraud Benzema. Having a front 3 of Alexis, Theo and Lacazette / Aubameyang would scare the shít out of anyone. 3 deadly pacey finishers interchanging throughout a match, it is the set up Barca play, albeit they have 3 superior players.

Benzema is so overrated it's unreal. His finishing is worse than Giroud's, he bottles 90% of big games he plays in, he is more creative and mobile than Giroud but that's no reason to splash £40M on him.

Arsenal fans need to get over this pathetic Benzema fantasy. He is not the type of striker we should be chasing and he isn't even that good anyway. He's had one top class season in his entire Real Madrid career.

Agree with you on the Benzema part especially the reason why we wont splash £40M on this fraud.

I think you overrate Aubameyang ability, Bats. He is not the best finisher and similar to Theo Walcott with less ability if you ask me. That's only my opinion about him.

We dont get Aubameyang anway and I dont think Wenger is even after him.

I fackin knew you'd say 'more suited to our style' typical baseless comment that highlights your incredibly limited knowledge.

Benzema has MUCH better link up play than the 2, technically superior, can get in behind when he wants to and is proven at a much higher level.

Lacazzate is good but just a finisher does little in build up play, if we want an undersized limited CF with pace to burn then we may as well stick with Theo upfront at least he's proven in the league.

I rate Lacazzate and I'd take him but to say him over Benzema is foolish.

Let's remember Lacazatte is killing a league that Giroud dominated and went a step further by taking an inferior club to the title.

As for Aubamayang being in this conversation

"..he is not saying “no" to the Gunners..."

Has there ever been been less reason to get your hopes up, or worked up (depending on your point of view of the player) than this wishy washy statement?

Be interesting to see Lacazette next weekend at the Emirates. See how he warms to the place

Lex, to be honest...I dont believe Wenger will spend that money on Lacazette either.

Think any of the 3 players who seem to be under discussion here would be good additions to our squad.

They are all certainly better than Giroud, and all at least 3x the player Welbeck is.
