Given that summary the difference in the rumoured feed is weird but typical of us all the same.
Lyon’s president, Jean-Michel Aulas:
“The €67m figure announced by English sources and then relayed constitute an impossible sum that is not realistic. The first offer made by Arsenal was €45m. The deal will happen for something between €45m and €50m.
“To be close to €50m is something unique, and will be without a doubt a record for Arsenal and a record for Lyon absolutely."
There are yes, but the first game is less than 6 weeks away, and there really is no time to lose if we want a player at least vaguely settled in.
A week's time before the tour is one key time to get players in.
It's so obvious that the Lukaku deal is done and Neverton are just spending the proceeds before its announced so not to be ripped off which is a shame as I hate the cnuts.
But that's still no reason to panic. We signed Martial on September 1st and he scored in his first game and had a great first season. Panic when we know we haven't brought in a striker. Panicking now is just odd. It's July 2nd ffs.
thanks for note about meme posting, I removed it. When you buy a risky player, you don't pay 70-80m euros, you pay 30-40m in today's market. But let me say that there is a good chance he might make the breakout to something great. Isn't it better to buy him on Martial-like contract, rising to 70m in case he breakout?
I'm sorry I cant answer after this post because I reached my daily post limit.

Wonder where they have gotten all their money from!
reading the melt downs in the transfer forum helps get me through the summer months with no football , long live the muppet .
Yeah I agree panicking is a bit strong.
But there is a growing feeling, mostly propagated by the constant reports of our so called "struggles" in the press that things aren't going to plan.
Last year we had an appalling strike rate and from that we've lost the 28 goal striker. It's optimistic to think anyone we bring in will match that, so the worry is we will actually be weaker!
However, on the other hand it felt like we weren't far away at times last year. I do think we're going to have to go about things with a defensively solid approach, rather than the City/Liverpool style goal fests
Since Van Persie?
He's more of a midfielder though isn't he.
Same here, if he's worth that much, Rashford has got to be close to 200
.@Sassy Colin kinda beat me to it but I was thinking we're waiting for Arsenal to sign Lacazette and we will get Giroud as well as Morata
or instead of.Ok I might be wrong on this one I just find it funny that you pick the lowest reported fee on Lacazette but the highest one on Morata.
I mean if people fall for that nonsense it's their own fault. It's easy hits for journalists. We've signed one player and missed out on Griezmann due to circumstances outside of our control, cue "DISASTER!" pieces. We've lost Ibra, but I think anyone who doesn't expect us to sign a striker is crazy. We also have a number of young players that will hopefully have grown and will do better in the coming year among players like Miki who didn't have the greatest seasons but have shown enough that they can create and score more often. We're in a good position, a few astute purchases and we're laughing despite doom and gloom merchants.
Was thinking more Lukaku
It's been said before, but my goodness you are tiresome.
Could this be a domino for transfers? Lukaku probably safe to leave now, which dries up market on Morata and might get that deal done.
There's your problem right there.
Wishful thinking.Scored 27 goals, 8 of them are penalties, only 19 of open play. Yeah impressive.
Its a good record tbh.
I find it funny to follow, even though I feel pity for those going meltdown on everything as it's the end of the world.
For his release clause I wouldn't have minded signing him as a backup or to play alongside Morata in certain games. 12 months down the line if he's unhappy sell him for double or he wins his place in the team.
I don't find it that hard for a lone striker to score 19 goals in French league and Lyon isn't a weak team in offense ( they're weak defensively ). Very normal record, not bad but not impressive either.
Anyway next season we'll see what he'll do.
Speaking of farmers, 10 of Morata's 15 league goals came against the bottom 10 in La Liga. Playing for a stacked Real Madrid. So, yeah.
That's the problem with this forum. Too many fans of other clubs. You can't spout unfair biased opinions without one of them picking you up on it.
Just keeping you honest
didn't like 11 of them either draw madrid level or put them ahead? Pretty decisive, even if you can paint that it was against lower teams. Was a super sub
Good because our problem last season was terrible finishing against midtable and bottom teams so he's going to solve this problem.
Oh and btw, most goals of any striker in any league in the world are against midtable and bottom teams. I can count in EPL, too. How many goals Costa, Zlatan, Aguero and Sanchez scored in top 6 teams compared to the goals they scored against bottom half ?
They're both attention seekers who have absolutely no idea what players we are interested in buying or selling. Both of them are stealing a living.
Yes, basically after Ronaldo his goals saved them or won them more points than any other player. His goals also took Juventus to a champions league final in which he scored.
You don't need to tell me, I was only making that point in reply to the poster who was implying Lacazette can't be good because he scores in the French league.Good because our problem last season was terrible finishing against midtable and bottom teams so he's going to solve this problem.

I don't find any comparison between both conditions tbh.
Is Morata the solution, or a big part of the solution?
The way Everton are going we'll need to look over our shoulder - they're after our 6th place.
They can have it, we're moving on to greater things.
