THOMAS LEMAR THREAD

This thread reveals the ins & outs of how Thomas Lemar’s move to Arsenal never materialised & how it ended in a £92M bid.

Some parts are known, some aren’t so hopefully you find it insightful.

It’s a simple story but I’ve thrown in a bonus story too 👀 Image In May 2017, Arsenal had just finished 5th, narrowly missing out on the CL & Top 4 for the first time in 20 years.

Wenger had signed a new deal but refused to have a technical director. He was keen to prove he didn’t need one by doing business early for key targets.

THOMAS VERMAELEN THREAD

10 years ago today, Arsenal sold club captain Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona.

This thread will reveal the SHOCKING truth to why he was dropped, phased out of the team & eventually sold. I’ll also touch on how he almost joined a rival club.

Looked online & I’m staggered this hasn’t come out so hopefully this should be insightful.Image I know some people like to skip to the main part so I’ve given each section a heading to make it easier to find. I’d still advise to read the full thread for context.

This thread will cover the TRUE story of what actually happened with Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs during the 2017 FA Cup Final.

It’s a straight forward story so I’ll try to keep this short.

Most people won’t know this so hopefully you find it insightful.

So Gibbs had lost his spot as the 1st choice LB to Monreal 2 years earlier. Over that time he was getting less & less minutes becoming a squad player.

This thread will reveal the sad & shocking story of how Arsenal’s number 1 keeper Wojciech Szczęsny lost his future at the club & everything that led up to that moment.

The story involves betrayal of trust & shows how stress can get to players.
Image Firstly, here’s a little back story.

Szczęsny joined in Jan 2006 when he was only 15. This was when the club were investing in young players, especially keepers like Fabianski, Martinez, Mannone etc.

He then joined the senior team in 08/09 before his Brentford loan in 09/10.

A lot of this has been reported by credible journalists already but there’s some stuff I’ve heard too. I’ll try piece everything together.

It revolves around non-Negotiables & could explain why Arteta wants to ease in youngsters slowly.
Image He had issues at Lorient at 17. In the first half of a cup game, he was making multiple wreckless fouls & got booked. At half time, his manager warned him he could get sent off & had to calm down. Didn’t listen, was subbed off, didn’t handshake his boss & threw a tantrum.
