Why does Juv need Szczesny? Didn't find another goalkeeper for the bench?

They wanted a top three keeper in the world at commanding his box.

Hart is such a Sullivan vanity wank. English, proles will think he is good, loan, likely to be not much better than the current incumbent.

The catalan press is also talking about it, and other decent journalists from Spain talked about it for a while now. They claim Neymar wants to win the Ballon d'Or, but he can't shine because of Messi (actually Cristiano), and he wants to be the leader of a team. In reality, PSG are offering him double his salary, about 30 mil + bonuses. Feels like Barca would take Verratti + 120m if you ask me.

Would be remiss to not give this a Langering.

Yeah, I'm gonna lol at this. Maybe he is the better pick for this game, but to say that him not starting means he is off in the summer is just spectacularly dumb. Besides being a great fullback on a reasonable wage, there isn't going to be anyone lined up to pay a bundle for him. Why on earth would we sell him for like 15m? It would be better to keep him as a backup than do that. He isn't in the best form or fitness, while Trippier has been very good lately. I expect he'll be starting again next season.

If you can't outshine him at the club you won't at a different one I don't think. Unless he thinks he can go to PSG and win the CL or something.

No one in their right mind would have guessed he'd go for more than £25m in the summer I guarantee you.

Not happy about this at all. I think he's more than ready to compete for a starting place at Arsenal.

Maybe something happened that we don't know about and/or him smoking in the showers after the Soton game was the last straw.

Is Lemar actually that good? price tag pretty seems pretty crazy for a player who doesn't seem like a "game-changer"

lemar def good, but 80m seems pretty lol worthy even in todays market. hes pretty good at set pieces and can dictate tempo, but doesnt seem like arsenal is need of a player like lemar, unless they want to just horde him

one thing i did notice though after watching a game last season is that he is the valencia of left foots. he never touches it on his right

Thomas Lemar
In lieu of boring right back recommendations, I wanted to just take a quick moment to give my feedback on Thomas Lemar from Monaco.

He’s excellent, and I’ve been interested in him since his Caen days.

Passing ability matches up with what we’ve come to expect from Arsenal, he’s good in space, and he’s fast. The problem – if you want to call it that – is the bulk of his assists last season either came via set pieces or on crosses to the far post on the break. I’m not sure I would let that stop me from signing him. He’s a lovely player. But I’m just not sure Arsenal’s style of play or general indifference on set pieces really maximises his skills.
