If I followed up every rumour, it’d be a full time job in itself. That’s why Daily Cannon has people to do it for us, so we can see all the rubbish in one place with the truth about the rumour laid bare.
My way
No, I know enough about Lacazette to understand he’s fast, a great finisher, and likely to pose a serious threat to the desires of one Theo Walcott. The rest of what I know – at the moment – is pretty much limited to what I can pick up from photos – he has hair, a solid physique, and he looks good in the new home kit now that it’s back to a proper shade of red.
But now that he’s an Arsenal man, it’s ok to read the reports.
Now that he’s an Arsenal man, it’s ok to get excited.
But that’s the point: ONLY now that he’s an Arsenal man.
I’ll spend the next week or two reading every little tidbit of information and watching compilations of show reels just to get a feel for what the man is about. It’s not longer theoretical research, it’s understanding the (sizeable) value of our record signing.
But that said, I’ll still be there on the opening day, ready to submit Alexandre to that eye test.
I’m sure he can’t wait.
