Reports that we have triggered Lacazette's release clause...
Lacazette cant make the french side as the striker we want to replace is above him...other than being a few years younger i dont see him as an upgrade.
id rather have lukaku
It's a striker that differs in style that we are chasing, not a replacement, as far as I can tell.
We're looking for the quicker, all-action striker, to complement Giroud's big man, hold-up, lay-off style.
So for that reason alone, I'm not sold on Lukaku, too similar to Giroud.
I don't know enough about Lacazette to make an opinion, but he does seem quite highly rated - and I would say, given the style difference, it is probably Griezemann keeping him out of the french side rather than Giroud.
