Thomas Lemar

[Marko121]

Sky reporting that Arsenal off £92m (100m euro ) for Lemar and Monaco are ready to accept

[jimmycase]

SSN claiming arsenal bid £92m \ 100m euro. Smells like bullshit to me since £92m was supposedly what Monaco quoted us to get the deal done. But apparently monaco are now only 'softening.'

[El Dangerous]

Cant we just pre sign him anf keep coutinho

[Juniper]

Looks like he's off to the arse, dependant on Sanchez.

Sanchez + dud we just bought = Lemar?

[Grinch]

If bringing in Lemar allows Coutinho to leave then i really hope it doesn't go through.

Yup, we cant lose here. Especially since Arsenal lose a world class player to bring him in.

[Lario]

Maybe we should offer £70m for Sanchez?

Dont agree about the 'dud' bit. And seeing as they havent agreed a sale for sanchez it might be a goer but to be honest, they can have lemar for 92 million quid.

Somebody is going to be the first 100 million pound bust - it might as well be this guy.

Lemar was only ever going to be a bonus, not sorting a centre half is what's pissed me off.

Agree, it’s really frustrating, but I can see why Klopp - and by the look of it, it is his decision - only wants Virgil van Dijk. Sometimes the perfect player is worth waiting for.

[Boss]

Let him go. £100m is the definition of a panic buy.

For how long though ?

I really have no idea, but I’d happily wait if we were able to get him on the same deal as Keita.

[Josef Svejk]

Fee agreed with Arsenal. According to Torygraph.

Monaco accept #Arsenal's £90m bid for Thomas Lemar. However am told player would rather join #Liverpool

 

I like the look of Lemar. But for £90m? Nah. Not for me.

Reports Lemar has told Arsenal no

So Arsenal will hold onto Sanchez

[amli]

Alexis Sanchez will stay at Arsenal. The club tried to sign Thomas Lemar but don't have enough time to complete the deal. (@guardian_sport)

[3 Stacks]

Apparently, Arsenal will keep Sanchez meaning that the Lemar deal is off.

 

If we're ready to pay 90m, he'll be ours, I think.

 

I'd do it. If Dembélé is going for 120, Lemar at 90 is a decent deal. They are different types of players but similar in terms of ability level.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Yep. Guardian going with that. Sanchez to remain at Arsenal as Arsenal have insufficient time to agree terms/speak to Lemar due to France playing the Dutch tonight.

And lose him on a free in 12 months time. Hope he phones it in until then.

[Josef Svejk]

Twitter awash with rumours that Lemar saw Arsenal's last performance.

 

Draw your own conclusions.

They'll sell in January if the seasons gone tits up. 35ml to City

ust in – Alexis Sanchez stays at Arsenal!

David Hytner

Alexis Sanchez is staying at Arsenal. 

 

That is the message from the club and it would now be a shock if there were to be any late turns to this infernal saga (it takes a toll, you know!). Manchester City came in earlier today with a second offer for the Chile striker – of £55m, plus £5m in add-ons – but it has come down to Arsenal being able to sign a new attacking player. Quite simply, they look to have run out of time on that front. They wanted Monaco’s Thomas Lemar and the French club demanded that they pay 100m euros for him. Which Arsenal indicated they were willing to do. But there appears to be insufficient time for Arsenal to now agree a package with Lemar, particularly as he is in the France squad for this evening’s game against Holland – which kicks off in about three hours. Were Arsenal able to get Lemar, they would have been inclined to take the £60m from City for Sanchez. But it is unlikely to happen now.
