    Lacazette to wear no. 9 :-(

    That's that then, he's doomed.

    Adios Perez.

    Strange signing.

    Yes!

    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

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Eduardo wore it well until he had his foot chopped off

    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.

    I don't remember that, no. Alan Smith didn't really ring my bell, to be honest. I've never been a fan of the 'on me 'ead son' sort of centre forward. I like a chap who can, you know, play football.

    If you don't mind, I shall pretend you didn't just say that, so we may remain friends

    I do remember that... and Alan Smith had a great touch... set up MT winning goal at Anfield, cracking CWC final goal.

    Basically if they aren't Dutch or your Spanish love child you don't like them

    Like Martin Hayes - who scored a wonder goal in that game and was barely heard of ever again *


    *The 1988 Littlewoods Cup final did not happen

    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.
