Sanchez, Giroud, and Walcott scored 60 goals last season. That’s a lot for Aubameyang, Mhky and Lacazette to replace.
This.

If Giroud goes for £20m or so, that's a bargain for Chelsea, and a big loss for Arsenal. He scores regularly, every season, even as a sub. Lacazette and PEA are the same type of player, so I can't see them both starting most matches. Weird.

I think both will start every match personally.

You may well be right, but I thought they were both out and out strikers - BBC had that infographic earlier showing that all but one of Aubemayang's goals for Dortmund came from inside the box. Maybe Lacazette can play as a wide forward.

Both can play wide. I think both started out as wide forwards but I may be wrong.

Fair play if they pick him up as well, didnt really fuck around this window. I know he has gone off the boil, but considering he would probably be dirt cheap i would have 100% taken him considering the issues we have been having at CM this season. Considering his age you would almost be guaranteed to turn a profit, even if small, if it doesn't work out.

I don't class PEA as a poacher. He has more to his game than that.

He might not be a straight up poacher... but still 97 of his 98 bundesliga goals all came from inside the area which sounds very poacher-esque.

I will admit to not watching many of his games so mainly going on stats and hearsay for PEA

Leicester need to do all of us a favour and reject it.
Leicester need to do themselves a favor and take it - depending on the player.

I get that there is some moral high ground here - but they would be wise to look at other clubs that have sold - us to City, Arsenal to United, Liverpool to Barça, etc... sometimes you have to get while the getting is good.
