If there's any Justice in the World? Lemar to be our Man?

[emoji837] BREAKING ! Thomas Lemar wants to join Liverpool despite offer being accepted by Monaco from Arsenal

 

[dantes]

£90 million or so for a 21 year old. Makes you wonder where these fees will be in five years. £500 million? A billion? Mad.

Perhaps it will move towards genetic profiling of desirable attributes and paying millions for embryos.

 

[Zlate]

Sky reporting we aren't willing to rival the offer from Arsenal. Looks like he's off them.

In the same way we didn't match the Chavs bid for Allie OC, but still got him ...

We didn't match the wages but offered the same amount to Arse, I think.

 

[Peatcheo]

Chelsea offered £40m, we offered £35m both accepted.

 

[Oncy]

I know this summer has skewed prices forever but 90m for a 21 year old with one good season is madness.

I dont know enough about the player tbf but for 50m we could get Mahrez who is brilliant and proven in this league.

I think this should be shelved. Its just silly.
And if it means losing Coutinho why would we do it.

 

[Woland]

Same

How about 150m for a twenty year old with one good season?
And I agree, it's gone crazy

If the price gets pushed up that high, I agree. Madness. But then the whole world of footy is mad nowadays. Remember when we wouldn't pay for Ronaldo? But we did pay for Diouf. Who knows how a transfer will work out. One thing is for sure, he ain't gonna become a world class player under Wenger.

 

[Skullflower]

I don't fucking agree. Sign the cunt and vvd for 200 mill and let's win stuff.

Agreed.

£20m extra to get the players we need? Do it.

 

[Fabio]

We're gonna get neither

 

[hmmmmm1]

Fee now agreed with the arse

 

[Silver Sean]

We're gonna get neither

Probably.

edit: I've seen now

 

[Oliver Twist]

Yep. And probably regret it for years.

 

[Oncy]

Its fucking nuts!
Its the equivalent of signing Markovic for 90m when we bought him from Benfica. The kid has had one DECENT season IN FRANCE!!!

Yeah but you could tell he was wank and it's inexplicable why he had a reputation.

 

[Glen C]

He really isn't THAT good. YOu're making out like he's suarez level or something. He looks decent but he's not better than coutinho. I don't even know where he would fit in our current team. Good from set pieces but apart from that he's like a french lallana. Let arsenal sell sanchez and get lemar. It will be a backwards step for them.

Nah, I'm not. Coutinho is gone next summer and we've got a chance to strengthen in his position, and also at the back. Just pay the money and reap and better rewards.

Standing still is really not an option.

Saying that,. Arsenal were bidding £45m for him until we got involved.

 

[King Binny]

This sounds like some form of election votes counting. 😛

 

[HC]

The guardian are saying arsenal have pulled out of the Lemar deal and are keeping Sanchez

 

[Oncy]

Sky saying they have bid 92m
Thats fucking INSANITY that is.

 

[Squiggles]

No reason for Monaco to accept any less than the Arsenal bid. I'd be surprised if we matched it unless Coutinho is off.

Makes sense.

I'd prefer to keep an unhappy Coutinho rather than pay his fee plus another 40m for an inferior replacement.

I'd understand if Lemar was a playmaker like coutinho is going to be this season, but he's not. I hope we leave Arsenal to it.

 

[Halmeister]

Pay whatever they want and watch the Arsenal meltdown.

Lol. I've barely seen Lamar play and I was excited until your post. Now I definitely don't want him. One banana is plenty.
