Lemar is the sort of player we have needed for a long, long time. An all action, 100% energy, winner with great technique who can play effectively all across the middle. Fabulous player and a potential superstar. Which is why coming to Arsenal is the last fucking thing he needs in his life. Wenger will find the one way to ruin him. Even so, we'd get at least one good year out of him before he learned the Arsenal Way.Originally Posted by Özim
I reckon it's BS, probably to make it look as if we tried (just like the Mbappe nonsense earlier in the summer)but if by some miracle it isn't then:
a) He's not a replacement for Alexis, he's relatively unproven, has 1 decent year behind him and doesn't seem to be a goalscorer, so we've gone back to where we were in that we're now short of a 2nd player who can get us goals when we need them
b) 92 million are we being serious? If we'd tried earlier in the window we'd have got him for a fraction of the cost, we must have a bunch of amateurs dealing with transfers
Either way it's been a disastrous window and this does nothing to resolve that, hopefully there will be a massive backlash after this.
That said - a lot could still go wrong with the development of a 21 year old, Wenger aside. Injury, the weight of carrying such a big price tag, the jump from French footie to the PL. This is an incredible gamble if it is real. And we'll be guilty of the worst inflation in the market. We'll be the biggest financial dopers of them all.
LATEST: Lemar doesn't want to come here. He wants to go to Liverpool. You see what having a sane manager can do? See what the cost of Wenger's stock decline amounts to?
