Lacazette to wear no. 9 :-(

That's that then, he's doomed.

Adios Perez.

Strange signing.

The thing with the #9 shirt is it's the only one that does not shrink to fit unworthy players, as the man said. Either you wear it well or you simply don't wear it.

The fifty million quid price-tag suggests this chap may be OK with it #WengerKnows

Eduardo wore it well until he had his foot chopped off :-(

I see this morning that Mourinho apparently looked at Lacazette but decided he doesn't have the stamina and his record in big games is poor and so they chose Lukaku instead.......who ironically, I've always said goes missing in big games and doesn't have the greatest engine/work rate.

Mourinho wants another fella the size of a fridge who he can coach to assault centre halves. It worked out for him with Drogba, I suppose.

I wish Giroud would assault more centre halves; he'd be twice the player then :-(

Well it is in essence the wonder and magic of football. The cut and thrust of debate, opinion and indeed counter opinion.

Diego Simeone (who many hold up as a managerial genius) had enough professional regards for AL as to agree to pay €65m, Wenger similarly has confidence in his abilities. Mourinho allegedly not*. He preferred Morata or Lukaka and thus good luck to him/them.

Who knows who is correct. Of course a snap judgement will be made in August.

Alas, poor fellow.

By the way, do you remember Alan Smith signing for us and then playing for Leicester City at Highbury, having been loaned back to them? I don't.

Both sets of supporters chanting his name apparently.

What do you mean by this? "Mourinho preferred Morata or Lukaka and thus good luck to him"

You know I am not the judgemental type, but wishing good luck upon Mourinho is clearly the sign of an evil, twisted individual. I shall be observing your behaviour with enormous suspicion in future.
