Atletico will only sell Lemar or at best loan him with obligation to buy. The price tag will be over 50 M. Not worth it. Too much money on a rehabilitation project.

Nobody is gonna pay 50m for him, if they want to sell they'll have to accept a huge loss.

I'll like it if we manage to purchase or even just loan Lemar but you'd have to think aswell Arteta is going to get a CB aswell wouldn't you? If Lemar is the only guy we get without a CB I'd be pretty disappointed same as alot of Gunners fans I'd presume?
Lemar’s best position is a number 10, same as Özil. Probably agent talk to try to get him out of Atletico where his career has not just stalled, but regressed.
Country: Canada
Özil's not gonna be here forever though. Lemar could play on the left and then potentially take over at 10 after Özil.

A loan with no obligation to buy and I'm all over it, I think. There's a player in there somewhere...

Agree.
Hardworking with great technique and a brilliant left foot. He's lost his way though working under Simeone, but he was truly brilliant for Monaco before the club sold everyone.
Country: Wales
Nah we won’t hold out for that much, his value is probably half that. He’s barely started this year, his value has tanked.
The club have publicly said they want him out, including Simeone.

No way he would like the idea of going to Jose, after all that defensive strict football at Madrid.
he's probably dreaming of Arsenal move atm. Don't think we need him now, but if we sell someone, I would love him.
Very Arsenal type of a player

Lemar is also left footed, so he’d probably work better on the right where Pepe is the big money buy, assisted by Reiss Nelson.

Don't mind getting Lemar on loan but if we're looking at a longer term solution for someone in Özil's role we might as well get Ziyech.

The idea of asking this a year or two back seems crazy but who would currently be the better signing of Lemar and Fraser?
Pros for Fraser include being tried and tested in the league and obviously being free this summer.
I can't say I've seen much of Lemar at Atletico but going by what some of you are saying it seems a massive gamble. Bullet dodged when we went close to spending, what was it, £90m on him a few years back.

Not even in the squad for the game against Levante.

How desperate on scale 0-10 is Rex for us to sign Lemar? Combining that he is Atletico Madrid fan and Liverpool fan it seems perfect scenario for him.

I remember when that news broke out. I was furious that we had been tight all summer and wanted to chuck £90m on Lemar.
I would have rather sold Sanchez to City and not bought anyone than sign him for £90m. There was a very slim chance he was ever going to fulfill that fee.

Miki was also brilliant at Dortmund and look how that turned out. One thing we need to stop doing as a club is buying players who are either surplus to requirements or struggle mentally at the top level. Lemar needs to go back to France and rediscover his form.

Now that I think about it I’m torn.
As an Arsenal supporter Id be upset with blowing money on a lightweight castoff LW with the other problems within the squad, but as a long time A-Mer I’d be pretty great to see @THunter when we finally get his boy.

With the added twist of him becoming a scouser it's through the roof.
Makes me wonder why he would hate Arsenal so much. Because of Arteta maybe.

Ffs, @THunter was absolutely mad about this fella back then
- but to be fair, many, including me, have been hyped up by his form.He might just recreate it here under Arteta, but given the situation we're in, in which any financial mistake could cost us dearly, we should really focus on the absolute musts first anyways.
Get high potential players in for CM and CB that fit the criterias and who do not have a glaring weakness and then, if there's any leeway, consider luxury/high risk signings.
