Until he proves to be better than TH14, he will be just another Chamakh wannabe imo.

Well he doesn't even get in the France squad because Giroud and Mbappe are considered better.
I suspect at £50m people expect a superstar, a marquee forward signing etc. He is also coming from Ligue1 which some people will have reservations about, though the same people would suck your gonads at the prospect of signing Mbappe.
Lacazette is neither superstar nor marquee however he may well turn out to be absolutely brilliant for us and the fee soon forgotten, until he has a few shít games and it will come up.
There is then the Sanchez issue – has he been signed to play with or as some form of direct or indirect replacement, the former and he undoubtedly strengthens us, the latter and who knows.
Sadly in modern football £50m is no longer that expensive.
Aside from the fact that he is in the French squad you make a valid point
Ah yes, 11 caps, 1 goal.
He looks a better finisher than Welbeck, though.
With respect, to Pluto with modern football; that is an enormous amount of money for us. We need it to work out.

I am very sorry to have to say it but your mum looks a better finisher than WelbeckAh yes, 11 caps, 1 goal.

He will score goals, of that I have no doubt at all. On that basis the signing will be a success.
Will we win the league, the champions league, will we even qualify for it next season or the season after, who knows. Will his signing and the associated cost be viewed in this way?
I have read people commenting that we spent 100m last summer on Mustafi, Xhaka and others yet finished 5th so in effect we spent 100m and ended up worse. A naïve and schoolboy analysis of events which overlooks the quality of the individual players.
Mbappe 4 caps 0 goalsAh yes, 11 caps, 1 goal.

At least you admit your original point was wrong though
Different matter entirely when talking about other players obviously. Strikers though, especially fifty million pound ones, must do three things: They have to win you the league and the European Cup, whilst being your very best goalscorer.
It's complicated
