Target Lacazette. 

If arsenal will let us

Seriously though, we need a goalscorer and a new full back. I hope we're just not going to let sit through this transfer window doing nothing.

Think Arsenal would seriously consider a 50-60 mil bid. It would allow them to invest in a winger.

Lacazette and his camp know the money at Chelsea is good and will realise the #9 position is up for grabs.

Fellow countrymen in Kante and Giroud at the club to help ease the transition.

I think this is a very plausible transfer.

I will be more than happy with lacazette but signing player from your rival is almost impossible these days unless the player is clearly not happy

Aubameyang is first choice. That’s what makes it possible for me.

His situation is somewhat similar to Welbeck back at Utd and Milner at City. Or more recently, Oxlade leaving Arsenal for Liverpool. All searching for a first XI spot.

If the money is right (transfer + wages), it’s possible.

Our biggest weakness apart from striker situation is nr. 10 position IMO. City struggled when Silva and KDB were injured, not because Gundogan and Bilva are not good midfielders but because they didn't have a creative force in midfield. Liverpool struggled to break down teams that defended deep when they played Wijnaldum-Milner... Look at their scores when Shaqiri starts in nr. 10 position, they are scoring for fun. They both have much better trio upfront but with lack of support they can't produce miracles. The same with us... Kovacic and Kante are probably worldclass midfielders but they can't create. They are b2b midfielders and they need creative player alongside... Barkley used to be this kind of player at Everton but right now he is "too safe" with backwards and sideways passing. Fabregas would be the best choice right now.. Maybe RLC but I am not sure. 

Mason Mount seems like an option for this position or James Maddison from Leicester. Someone with that flair... I would even try Hazard there with Odoi in his natural left wing position.

Mason Mount is nowhere near ready, not only that but he is not as good as people make out.

He is 1000 lightyears away from being ready for our first team. He needs to statt eating 3 large meals a day because he is far too lightweight for mens football.

With the lack of top available strikers out there, how about any AM players that are goal scorers like Firmino was before he went to Liverpool?

Fekir I guess would be the obvious one of that ilk. 

I think if we had a couple of players supporting the striker with 10-15 goals a season, then the striker probably only needs 15-20 himself.

The problem we have is our strikers don't score and we don't generate nearly enough goals out wide with the exception of Hazard.

We have 0 goals in this team.  RLC in midfield and Pedro provide some, but not enough to compensate.  I was really really hoping that Morata would come good under Sarri.  Every other CF under him has had career years.
