Thomas Lemar

[HairSprayGooners]

Camden is only good for team news, usually spot on with that. Transfers and contracts are complete guess work. Didn't he say Özil had signed a new deal last year?

Pretty sure Özil has agreed/signed but they're waiting for Alexis decision to announce it. Announcing one before the other is saying the others off.

'It's not done until its done'

'all about finalising the deal with the club'

Shut the **** up Pablo.

We have to play with what we got mate, it's not like we would be able to go without our mad transfer rumor threads anyways.
It's like a drug. Even after a cold withdrawal you can easily fall into relapse.

Maybe the only source that would still get me really excited by its own is the ArsenalHorse although he got questioned a lot lately.

He's always spot on with injuries and team news. For that to even happen he has to know someone within the club. Having said that his transfer related stuff has been hit and miss for a while.

Caravan? I could buy you and put you up for sale you gimp.

Just exposed yourself as a rent boy connoisseur, a bald one at that.

Might those people who are still unconvinced by Lemar get a bit more excited.

Hes laid it on the line i actually believe him

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

@yousif_arsenal and @Kingslayer are seriously slacking this window.

We only looking for reliable sources . things from the mirror or the sun is not worthing reporting because you know it's BS.

 

[Prawn Sandwich]

Hope we sign Lemar.

 

[Mitch]

I have complete faith in Camden and the English version of Jeinny Liz- big boobies.


Probably more chances of them getting a transfer right than Crossy or Guillem ball bag to be fair.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

It's very rare to find such a player with pace and power whom also has such an incredible passing range and also fantastic quality of set pieces.

 

[samshere]

No. He's claimed some m4dness signing for the past four summer windows - none of which happened.

Nothing will lose his credibility because people will always believe what they want to hear.

He's a bullshit merchant who closely follows genuine news links and tries to web together a picture of our dealings and is trying to make a living off of it.

I vote we ban him from A-M if neither of his two tidbits of info come true.

 

[nicky47]

Honestly, this guy has completely passed me by, never really watched him/noticed him. But after peoples opinions, a look at his season and videos, he seems such a big talent. Keeping my fingers crossed this has some legs!

Very curious to how he could fit into our team, but I really don't want to jump the gun.

 

[ArtetaCognition]

I vote we ban him from A-M if neither of his two tidbits of info come true.

Heh. But it's really not a massive prediction. Sanchez is probably 50/50 And Lemar has been heavily linked.

If Sanchez goes, he can just say that the money was too much. If Lemar doesn't come, he can say Monaco refused to agree a fee.

He has some of our fanbase on strings by making statements with little commitment, unfortunately.

You tell these peasants. They've descended into discussing Sunday Mail stories about Martial and stalking any journo that mentions Mbappe.

 

[ClubLevel]

Genuine post here, I named my new kitten Thomas Lemar six weeks ago so I hope we sign him and not Sp**s otherwise kitten will need to go to a new home.

He's always spot on with injuries and team news. For that to even happen he has to know someone within the club. Having said that his transfer related stuff has been hit and miss for a while.

Agreed, but I don't think that is down to him making things up or anything. His source is almost certainly not directly involved in transfer dealings, probably doesn't have up to the minute info and probably does a bit of guess work themselves. Also of course transfers are more complicated than injury updates and the situation with them can totally change from one day to the next.

That's my take also. Clearly has a source within the club so not sure why people dismiss him. Transfers are complicated and we're fairly hit and miss at closing deals.

 

[GoonerHart]

I'm not that excited for Lemar I loved watching Mahrez 15/16, people tell me Lemar is better but does he have the flair of Mahrez?seeing his runs were ridiculous

 

[Kingslayer]

June 26th. The annual 'Is Dean reliable?' is in full swing. Looking forward to the exact same arguments next year as well.

That's not how football works though.

What if Lemar and Lacazette only contributed 30 goals but those goals won us more points?

What if playing Lemar out wide made us more defensively secure and we needed to score less goals?

What if Özil thrived playing behind a pacy forward? What if playing at a quicker tempo (without Sanchez constantly slowing the game down) allowed other players in our squad to flourish?

What if having a better balance to our game meant we did better against the stronger sides, which is where we dropped so many points this season?

United sold goal machine Ruud Van Nistelrooy and instantly looked a better team. A few years later they replaced the most productive player in the world (Ronaldo) with Antonia Valencia and scored 18 more league goals the following season. Countless other examples you could draw on.

All this tallying up of individual goals, as though football is a zero sum game, is ridiculous.

What about we get shot of Özil and see how we do?

You can apply all the above sound reasoning accordingly... I'll help you out. We could get a player who can tackle a bit, score more goals, choke a bit less and be more consistent to make up for his departure. Or a few of them could chip in all round and make us much better than we were when we had him.
