Thomas Lemar to Arsenal lies exposed

35 Replies

No one outside of Arsene Wenger’s inner circle really know what is happening at Arsenal when it comes to transfers. Anyone that pretends to know what is happening; whether you’re an account, a mole, or a bean head who wears baseball caps, is simply a liar. A fraud. An attention seeker.

And we now see the excuses coming out of these ITKs over the deal with Lemar.

A month ago, they were all claiming “Lemar is done. Announced soon.”

2 weeks after their announcement it was “Arsenal are giving Monaco the chance to sign a replacement”. 

Now Monaco seemingly have replacements in, having signed 2 attacking options, the narrative has changed once more.

It is now “Arsenal need to sell to make space for Lemar”. 

So what has changed in the month? Surely a 4 weeks ago Arsenal were letting Monaco sign replacements, and knew they had to shift on players? Why are they only “breaking” this news in drips. It is almost as if they are making it up as they go along.

Obviously it is because they do not know what is happening. They called a deal done. It was not done. And now they are trying to explain why it is not yet done.

If the deal doesn’t happen, they will find the ultimate excuse “the deal was agreed but Arsenal stalled on it. My information was not wrong.”

But you said the deal was done? Do you know what done means? Or were you making it all up?

If Lemar does sign for Arsenal, it does not mean that these accounts had inside information. It just means they guessed right. These sort of accounts make a dozen or so wishey washy predictions over a summer, they are bound to get one right.

Don’t give them the oxygen. Don’t fall for their lies. And don’t believe their excuses.

Remember, no one knows what is happening at Arsenal. Why would a recruitment consultant, a bloke pretending to be a horse, a furniture maker, or a student bored on his summer break know what is going on within the corridors of the club?

Hell, they have even started to pretend to “know” the starting XI.

Don’t believe the lies.

Ps: Knowing my luck Lemar will be announced today and all the drippy ITKs will mock this post. Well done, it does not defeat the fact that you lie about knowing stuff about Arsenal n the internet to impress people you have never met.

Has The Arsenal executive bubble burst?

1 Reply

Is the bubble finally bursting? It seems like The Arsenal are struggling to shift executive tickets…

Firstly we have Arsenal’s Senior Premium Sales Executive advertising unsold hospitality tickets on LinkedIn. Whilst this was a week ago, it is a clear indication that the club have failed to sell out executive boxes and club level season tickets for the upcoming season. There is a clear lack of demand.

Then we have another Premier Sales Executive, once more on LinkedIn, looking to advertise herself to increase her connections with Arsenal fans.

“Nothing unusual, a salesperson trying to network” you might think. And you would be correct if this was a recruitment consultant screaming about how they have 4 painters available to start having had a job cancelled at the weekend. But an Arsenal Sales Executive should not need to sell themselves.

Arsenal should sell itself. And there are enough weirdo’s and fans out there who try and Link-In with every Arsenal related account that new connections should be coming to her, easily.

It indicates that the current market is saturated. That the sales team are LinkedIn with all potential buyers of Executive seats, and that they are forcing the issue to try and get more connections.

Then finally we have the Senior Sales Executive bloke doing what is known as throw your business cards on the table, take a picture, stick it on LinkedIn and hope someone calls. It is desperation.

It is one step below attention seeking then the girl moaning about guys always asking her on dates whilst 60% of her LinkedIn avi are taken up by her pushed up breasts, and most of her content is pictures of herself, or her female work colleagues, in tight clothing – not that I have an issue with this. Got it, flaunt it, sell yourself, but don’t moan when you get unwanted attention.

Now the increased sales activity on LinkedIn clearly shows a lack of sales. anyone who has done sales knows when margin decreases, increase activity.

IS this just a case of Arsenal finishing 5th? Or that people are bored of the club? Or is it the bigger picture? That (cause partially by the Bribery Act), companies no longer see expensive executive boxes to woo clients as justifiable?

It seems the bubble is slowly bursting.

Arsenal win pre-season treble – after just 1 victory

3 Replies

Have to love pre-season. A chance to get fit. A chance for foreign fans to see there heroes depending on where the tour takes us. And a chance to win loads of weird and wonderful trophies that ultimately mean nothing.

Arsenal won their first trophy of pre-season after a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich. I do not know what the trophy was, or that we were even playing for one. I would imagine the players were even surprised when they were told there would be a trophy presentation.

The double was secured after Arsenal won their own tournament, the Emirates Cup. And this is why I love pre-season.

Despite Sevilla winning both games, they finished 2nd, whilst Arsenal, who lost to Sevilla, were eventual winners based on goals scored. Confused? I certainly was. But ultimately, it secured Arsenal the 2nd leg of a historic treble.

3 games played, 1 game won, 2 trophies secured.

Then we come to the glorified friendly of the Community Shield.

Arsenal drew against 10 man Chelsea, but lifted the trophy thanks to Swedish rock band ABBA.

Of course, we jest. All 3 trophies mean nothing and the real stuff starts Friday night against Leicester. Despite me falling out of love with football at the back end of last year, I am actually looking forward to the start of the season.

Beers with the mates, bit of football, more beers with my mates, as always, I will try to not let the football get in the way of a good day out at the football.
