Morning all,
Ed 002, just wondering if you are aware of the figure Monaco have quoted Lemar at and whether you believe they are realistically open to negotiating on it or is it purely an unrealistic amount that obviously would not be met this window.
Also if you can, could you let us know if the Benzema interest could materialize into an actual serious bid. I know you don't like speculating but from what you know, and in your opinion do you think Arsenal FC have the intent to sign both Lemar and Benzema.
With the obvious impending departure of Sanchez, to then bring in Kolinasic, Lacazette, Lemar and Benzema would be a phenominal transfer window and massive statement and I believe would make us a huge threat this season.
Of course if there is no real intent to make this happen and its the usual huff and puff we've become accustomed to, and we lose Sanchez or keep him and he sulks, well then we are in for another hit and miss league campaign.
{Ed002's Note - They want at least €80M. Who would this sttement be being made to?}

he will be in for under 60 million no doubt.

Why are you so sure derby. I'd love to see lemar and some kind of midfield enforcer to take games by the scruff of the next.

If we really want him we will pay what it takes if we don't then we look elsewhere. They are the sellers so they name the price, we have the funds to match what they ask so surely it's a simple matter of how much we do or don't want him. Chelsea utd Liverpool city Everton have all paid above the market value for players this summer to get who they wanted, lukaku 75 millions? Way over the odds but no one will care next May if he scores goals and Utd have a good season. It's our chioce stick to our value of a player or get real and pay what it takes. Principles v Success almost you might say.
