Thomas Lemar

[ngogswilly]

A lot of the twitterati seem to think this as good as done. They better not be wrong or ill smear dogshit on their car doors.

[Jose Jones]

Not seem much of him but according to wikipedia...

 

Lemar is a versatile midfielder able to play on both wings as well as through the centre and in a free role.[10][11] He is predominantly left footed, but is also competent with his right foot.[11] He is noted for his excellent dribbling skills, strong passing ability and free kicks.[11] He has said he prefers to link-up with team mates, rather than taking on defenders: "I am trying to avoid duels and concentrate on passing and movement as much as possible."[11] He will often attempt to score from long range and scored 14 goals in 55 appearances in the 2016-17 season and had 17 assists.[11][10]

 

Sounds like a pretty similar sort to Coutinho.

He's more of an old-fashioned chalk on the boots winger.

Bit of a fifties throwback, Thomas Lemar.

[Duff Man]

So hope this is happening, he looks fucking dynamite.

[El Dangerous]

Is he easy to Mark, Lemar?

Then it'd be Tommy, no?

Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news but our bid has been rejected, coming so late as it did.

Their interest has been piqued(?) by the potential offer of origi apparently. Might still have legs.

Reds return with new Lemar offer?

Have Liverpool returned with a new offer for Thomas Lemar?

L’Equipe say that the Reds have offer 80m euros, 50 for now and 30 for next summer, and included a loan of Divock Origi.

 

Liverpool Echo 11.59.

Beat me to it.

[DirkDiggledinho]

Sounds like a good offer to me. Hopefully it'll be accepted.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Damn. We are serious about this shit. Lamar is a talent for sure, and we shouldn’t turn down talent, for sure. I fucking hope we have VVD in the bag.

 

Interesting reading over at redcafe’s Lemar thread. Banging on about how amazing he is, how he’s more talented than Mbappe. Then we are putting bids in and suddenly it’s a mix of ‘why would he sign for them?’ and ‘he’s not even that good’. Bless them.

[Anny Road]

This 50 mill now and 30 next with Origi on loan sounds good. If they keep him maybe we don't pay the 30 next year.

To be fair we're the opposite. We hype up players and as soon as they're interested in signing for us, we want them to rot in the reserves.

[Brownie]

We've increased our offer for Lemar, to £75m!

We've increased our offer for Lemar, to £75m!

With Origi on loan apparently.

Liverpool ready to make £75m Lemar bid

Here is James Pearce with the absolute latest on Thomas Lemar.

Liverpool are ready to make a massive bid to make this lad their record signing.

James writes: “The Reds’ bid of around £65million was turned down by the Ligue One champions who are reluctant to sell the France international.

However, Liverpool are ready to further test that resolve by increasing their offer to around £75million.

[Carvalho Diablo]

He's rapid and he is silky.

[M_B]

He's going to cost more than 75.

[3 Stacks]

If we sign him, I think there's a chance he might play in midfield. He's a superb playmaker and has a wand of a left foot.

 

We also need someone to spell both Mané and Salah unless we expect them to be able to play 50 matches this year and he could do that without a drop in quality, although he is a different kind of player to both of them.

Have you seen him play in midfield?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Cost is irrelevant at this point. Don't give a fuck if it's £100m. If Klopp wants...

 

Van Dijk, Lemar & Keita is a fucking statement and a half.

 

Also means laters to Lovren, Lallana and Hendo as huge upgrades.

[Lee909]

Just give plenty of options. With the hopefully cup runs and the league we need them with Klopps style.

 

Firmino can drop to a 10 infront of Can and Hendo with Lemar/Salah wide of Mane.

 

At home against some of the Stokes of the world

 

TAA--VVD--Matip--Robertson/AM

 

-------------Henderson

------Lallana--------Firmino

Salah--------Mane-------Lemar

 

 

Be hard keeping them out and covering the runs from Bobby from deep

[JagSquared]

I'm confused as to where he would play? Is he an attacker or a midfielder if the latter does he have the tactical discipline? I've seen him play once or twice.

 

Who does he push out? As for sure we won't spend 70m for a back up.

[Lee909]

Not seen him play in the midfield myself. Thought he was excellent wide left against Spurs. But with 60 games and Klopps tempo we need top quality options and Mane can play through the middle so he could cover the flanks. Heard other say he could play in a 3 or a 10.

Just means theyll be more squad players than starters. Not bad options to have.
