mystery to me.
Furthermore, as I have said since the day we signed him; Lacazette will never, ever be a top class player. Respectable - yes, above average - yes, world class - never. A nice backup option from the bench, I suppose.
We also appear to have a major shortage of left backs.
Blame Arsene. That idiot thought we'd make do with just Lacazette and no Aubemayang. Wrong. It's absurd when you look at it. Man City, admittedly a fierce team, but still they have five or six scoring options. Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero, Mahrez, Sane.Quote:

A couple more players in, the yoots continuing to develop and we'll begin to look like serious contenders again.
We're emerging from Wenger's hibernation torpor. Emery will continue to wield the axe. We'll see who else has fallen by the wayside come January.
