Lemar or no Lemar there's no way we're making Champions League this year, and I really don't want to be stuck with that useless lump for years to come. He doesn't strike me as the type who'd do well in a team that is performing beneath what he considers being an acceptable standard either. I have no time for players who are going to run around and moan because they have to play in Europa League.
I've been thinking a lot about the January window and I feel we should stick with what we've got rather than going for these subpar deals. Boateng, Lemar... all have low potential reward to me and they come with high potential risk.
I've been turned off by everything I've read from people in France concerning Kurzawa too, who I initially had a different opinion about. I think Saka deserves a shot instead. He's not very good yet, but give him half a season and he might be. We will never have a better opportunity than right now to find out. Tierney is out for months and we're not going to make top four. If we can't sieze this moment to blood in some promising youngsters then we don't deserve to have good youth talent at the club.
