ponsaelius Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm not sold on Lucas Perez but he can probably play in behind a striker too from what I saw last season, which would be handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I can't see Atletico letting Correa go before Vitolo and Costa arrive in January. That's if they're even considering letting him go at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 This is why you should just be able to cut players in your squad if they don't make the grade like in American sports Cut them make them free agents and free up wage space Love to see Colback come back from training with the card hanging in his locker It's really only the NFL that's like that. The other major sports have guaranteed contracts. Here's an extreme example of this going bad, courtesy of the New York Mets: After his subpar 1999 season, the Mets released Bonilla, but still owed him $5.9 million. Bonilla and his agent offered the Mets a deal: Bonilla would defer payment for a decade, and the Mets would pay him an annual paycheck of $1.19 million starting in 2011 and ending in 2035, adding up to a total payout of $29.8 million Every July 1 he cashes another check.

HaydnNUFC Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Remember Arsenal fans not being happy about the way Perez was treat, like someone posted before, he scored a hattrick in the CL and was dropped the next game, and was never really given a chance. I certainly wouldn't be against going for him, or any of these La Liga players we've been linked with (Vazquez & Correa) who I would love to get but I can't see happening. Lucas Perez I can though.

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'd be happy with Perez like. I think that's a fairly reasonable price and I've been impressed with him every time I've seen him. Not really the out and out striker that we need though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it true the talk I heard while I lived in NY that the Mets took that awful deal because the owner had invested all his money on Madoff's scheme?

Yup, he thought he was getting like 10% on all his investments with Madoff, which would have outpaced the interest owed to Bonilla. All things considered it may be the worst financial deal in the history of sports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We will end up having to accept lower bids, so that these (or different) clubs can afford the extra wages. said this at the start of the window, if we're serious then we will need to take the hit on fees in some cases Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm sure Lucas Perez can play the left winger/forward role but can he play as a 10? I'll admit that I hadn't seen much of him before he joined Arsenal but he's looked decent in the brief appearances he has made for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Know absolutely fuck all about him, but he's another body in another position that we need so I'd be relatively happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Can't say I would be excited because I've never seen him play for more than 10 minutes, but there must be something about him for Wenger to have been interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take back the 10m too much comment and hell for 13.4m i'd easilly take him over Mitro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 As for Lucas Pérez, think poor man's Kevin Gameiro. Guy always has showed a lot of heart whenever I've seen him play, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 He grafts and works his ass off in everything I've seen, read or talked about with my friend. He's literally putting in tackles, chasing lost causes, etc but also has the all around ability and pace/movement to get into great scoring positions and finish or set up his teammates.

Kanj Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Would be able to play on either flank, as the main striker or as a very advanced #10 (says the friend) he's more striker than creator per say based on how he's being described to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
louistoon Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Was very skeptical but I'm coming around to it, since Arsenal fans seem sorry to let him go. Looking at transfermarketd he seems to have been played up front, as a number 10, and on both wings in his career, so really he's the ideal profile of what we need.

Village Idiot Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Lots of work-rate, makes himself a nuisance all game long and covers a lot of ground upfront. Good hold-up play, although he isn't the strongest. Good pace, nothing great technically but not a slumbering oaf. I mean, he has lots of good attributes so I'd be surprised if he were not an useful player to you, but I'm skeptical of his scoring record outside that season at Depor. I have also a natural mistrust of players' in their late 20s-30s that sign for smaller clubs after failing at a large one. But that has nothing to do with him in particular.
