He looks alright to me. Good dribbler, good left foot. Not a super exciting buy, but if it can be in the Elneny mold I'm okay with it.
If we're pinching pennies up top we better fricking get quality at the back.
Ornstein is also reporting it's a possible move, saying we'll spend 40m+ at CB and using discount up top to save.
Look, in the end, if we end our window with:
Xhaka
Mustafi
Perez
Holding
Other young guys (Kelechi, Asano)
I'll be okay with it. I really think we needed CF quality more than DM and CB quality, but I've lowered my expectations so much for our transfers that I'm okay with that.
We'll be okay, good enough for top four, but I don't think we'll keep pace with the Manchesters at all, and Chelsea will be very good under Conte.

Cadena SER Coruña: 'Deportivo reject bid from Arsenal who want to pay Lucas Perez's €20m release clause in two instalments.'

It's almost like the ultimate troll job. How can you make a 20 mil transfer difficult a week before the end of the window. fricking get it done!

Lmao. We can't even get the bargain bin deals done properly.

Aren't release causes supposed to be paid in full?
Posted on 8/25/16 at 10:12 am to Jabroni
I believe so.

La Voz de Galicia reports now that Arsenal FC have improved the terms of their offer and have closed the signing of Lucas.
This makes too much sense for us to not happen. We all know Arsene loves a bargain.

Apparently now it's done. I watched a highlight video, he looks good but he's only had one good season. If this backfires the club is going to really get it from the fans

We got paired with PSG in the Champions League. Considering what they've lost, I'll take it over Real/Barca/Bayern.

We should finish top of that group. Time to get over this hump and make at least the quarterfinals
Posted on 8/25/16 at 12:28 pm to bbap
Finishing top is crucial. Can't afford anything less than 9 points from the 3 home fixtures.

Lucas looks close to the finish line.
Good write up here on him.

Sounds like he can play up top or on the right. Excellent if so.

It says a lot that Arsene Wenger swooped in for the Spaniard after being turned down by Jamie Vardy. Stylistically, both are the same type of player: lean forwards with bags of speed and energy, always raring to break the defensive line and find themselves one-on-one. In fact, much like Vardy, Lucas suits the counter-attacking style of football. A style that Arsenal irregularly employ, which may be a sticking point. If Wenger does switch for this sort of style, which could be supported by the fact he’s chased down two identical strikers this summer, Arsenal may just have pulled off a bargain considering the current market.
quote:
He chases down possession, effortlessly carries the game forward and then applies a slick finishing touch. This, with no creator. Arsenal have Mesut Özil – a player crying out for more goal scorers to support – and the likes of a supporting cast of Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey etc. The list goes on. Lucas had virtually nobody last season, nor the season before that.
quote:
And, just briefly, since I mentioned Alexis, Arsenal fans will love Lucas Pérez for the same reason they love the Chilean. He works extremely hard – and not in an English “he runs about a bit” type. Lucas will bust a lung to revive a loose ball and, once he collects it, he will carry it forward. Unlike Alexis, though, Lucas is less of a dribbler so will look to release possession to a team-mate once he wins the ball back.
Sounds like he can play up top or on the right. Excellent if so.

i remember waking up one morning like two weeks ago and mustafi was all but sealed.

Ornstein just dropped the double bomb.

Arsenal have had bids accepted today for Mustafi (£35m) as well as Perez (£17m). Total spending on fees this window is now close to £100m
