Evening Standard saying Lemar signing is odds on to happen. Ed what's your take, do you think we are close to a deal?
{Ed002's Note - I have no way to measure "close" Paul. If Arsenal can agree a fee then something can be done.}

I think the fee would be difficult. They want 80m euros was it? And if reports are to be believed we're offering around 50. Seems a long way off.

The deal will happen at 70 million euros according to my contact 😂.

The ball is once again in our court and if we are not prepared to go for match point when we have the chance then we will undoubtedly end up losing him to another club who is.

I think both arsenal and Monaco playing hard ball and this kind of transfer will drag to the last day and then booom we miss on him as always.

Ed do you think arsenal will agree a fee or do u think we will go for mahrez instead?
{Ed002's Note - I can explain interest but I busted my crystal ball Ibraim.}

The fact that Mahrez is heavily linked with Roma and we still haven't made a move for him yet suggests that Arsenal must be confident in landing Lemar and Monaco lowering the price as the window nears the end.

History suggest we will count the pennies and settle for the player that suits the pocket rather than the task at hand, as with poor old Perez who did nothing wrong but be a pacifier for missing out on other targets can tell.
Do it right or do it cheap that's our choice.

As I posted the other week, be prepared for Sanchez to leave mid August and Arsenal to sign neither Lemar or Mahrez. Late August we'll panic buy a 6 out of 10 player for around 30m. Possibly Barkley this year.
