Just put 25 on him going to Arse to soften the blowGutted about lemar was hoping that was gonna be our big signing. He's mad if he ha chose them over us.
Both of us 7/4 on sky bet. If you wanna make some money to help ease your woe
(Lacazette and Lemar will be playing in the two positions Sanchez normally plays in (will he be off?) so maybe they won't be all that strong - can't play em all at the same time).Lacazette and Lemar to Arse is really shit news...... they mean business to get back on track and if they keep hold of Sanchez then we know what is coming next year.....!
The new stadium is going to be amazing but Levy has said all along it wont imact our squad strength, we are lucky we have an awesome manager who has done wonders but I fear how long it will last given the money in the league now and everyone strengthening, I think we need to finish out of Europe to really show Levy we need a squad as he seems blind due to our finishes the last 2 years, it wont continue in my mind and then we lose Poch and start all over again
Really depressing, we will end up with Gray or Redmond can see it already
Lacazette and Lemar to the Scum is profoundly unsettling
(Lacazette and Lemar will be playing in the two positions Sanchez normally plays in (will he be off?) so maybe they won't be all that strong - can't play em all at the same time).
Anyway, Gray might be a decent development signing for us - with Alli and Son ahead of him. I'm more interested in Right Wing as we are short there with only Sissoko as back up while Lamela is out.
Doubt Poch will be off anytime soon... he's fully signed up to this 'project'.
We got embarrassed in Europe last season and albeit a good run still no trophies, if you think missing out on top targets who are going to rival clubs isn't a concern you're foolish
We finished 2nd in the league, only lost 4 leagues all season, played the most attacking adventurous football in the league.
In my eyes, we were the best team in the league and it was mainly Chelsea's schedule which gave them the advantage.
To buy players to improve our first team is always difficult.
Poch's template during the summer transfer window reads like this. He'll buy one player who will walk into our first team and arguably be our player of the season ie Wanyama and Alderweireld. These are players who we usually buy before preseason,
Buy someone unknown to most and be a good squad player like Wimmer and (at a stretch) Janssen.
Followed buy a complete gambles, that so far hasn't haven't paid off such as N'jie and N'Koudou.
Sissoko was just a mistake, a big mistake.
But with the quality we already have it'll be difficult to get some one who will walk into our first team unless we're prepared to spend big.
I could see us buying Mawson and Sessegnon but don't have a clue who our marquee signing will be now ITK negatively spoken about our chances of getting Lemar.

...and a Gray (or 2).Ricardo Pereira
This is always gonna be the way until we change that cap. We are so lucky that players keep playing for us when they could move and get so much more. So doesn't surprise me when we lose out on players for this reason. Doesn't make it easier but can understand itJJ on Lemar:
"Wages"
I would have said the idea is to improve our options off the bench, not necessarily the first team.
