Paulo Dybala

Serie A flop percentage is very high, but Dybala is not long out of Argentina and has that low centre of gravity that should make him hard to play against in any league. Jovetic shows how skillful Serie A players can struggle if they're a bit on the soft side, but think Dybala may be able to cross the border well. Chelsea, United and PSG reportedly in for him, can we finally sign some of these top young attacking players that we always seem to lose out on?

i think will be one of him/lacazette the one who will replace Jovetic and for the fact that we tried to get lacazette in the winter too makes me think we will try harder for him than for dybala but then dybala just said that he would love to play for us and he enter in his last year of contract and their president said they will sell him so he will be much cheaper than lacazette...i don't know both of them are very good players young who will improve us and also along the players we have they will improve massive to whatever we sign from this 2 will be a win-win situation for us tbh

If it was a choice bowman the 2, I'd probably go Dybala right now. Lacazette is playing at too high of a level right now for me to properly evaluate him. Also I think he has a bit of that type of arrogance that tips slightly over 'corky confidence'. While Dybala's arrogance seems to be within acceptable margins.

Dybala pros
Cheaper, less likely to be a dick and may just be as good.

Cons
Italy, and if this is not just a purple patch for Lacazette, we may be missing out on the 'next Thiery Henry' just coz we went cheap. :(

Still Dybala for me.

While Serie A definitely isn't of the same quality as the PL, I think the worries about signing players from Serie A are way overblown. Anytime Jovetic has gotten a decent run of games he has looked good but he just cant stay healthy enough to be a decent contributor. At Palermo Pastore played in either of the 2 spots behind the striker in a 4321 and PSG have mainly played him in central midfield. Lamela has been quite poor but he was injured for half of last season so he is only now getting to his 1st full year of games in the EPL. He hasn't even turned 23 yet, so I think its still way too early to write off Lamela as a flop.

Dax what makes you think Lacazette is a dick? I see a confident hardworking young lad.

Nothing specific I guess, I just sense a 'me' mentality in him. Yes, he is hardworking and confident. But also kinda corky.

on a side note, Pastore has been quite fantastic this season :)
 
Arsenal are closing in on signing Paulo Dybala (Picture: Getty)Arsenal are set to hold talks with Palermo’s president in London ahead of a deal to sign Argentine striker Paulo Dybala.

The Gunners are leading the race for Dybala, who is seen as the most sought after striker in European football, and Palermo are ready to sell.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also in the race, but Arsenal are meeting Palermo’s president Maurizio Zamparini in London this week to thrash out a deal ahead of the competition.

Arsenal will meet in London the Palermo's president Zamparini for Dybala, according to tomorrow Corriere dello Sport — Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) February 16, 2015 Arsenal want to thrash out an agreement ahead of a summer deal, with Dybala rated at £29.5million.

If the Gunners can seal the transfer, it would be a notable coup.

I wasn't aware Palmeri wrote the article published in Corriere dello sport.
 
I really like the look of Dybala, although he is still very raw. From everything I've seen he has a lot to his game, but also currently lacks a lot too. As inconsistent as you'd expect from someone his age.

Wouldn't surprise me if we're in hard for him. He's young, very highly rated, and Argentinian, I believe I read quotes from him from somewhere where he said his dream was to play for Barca or City.

I also think he's a better kind of 'support' striker than Dzeko/Bony because technically he's much more like a number 10 and has that ability to play eye of the needle passes.
 
This the kind of signing which really excites me. He clearly has a lot of potential, but the thing which worries me is how he will develop in a squad where he will not play regularly.

Some rumours Arsenal are close to a deal though.
