Now that, it seems, he's messed Arsenal and Liverpool maybe we should get him in January!

I am sure that we are his preferred destination when he leaves athetico
That's a great point actually. These players are making a major life decision against the clock.
In Arsenal's case, they at least showed some interest earlier in the window, so I imagine Lemar would have already weighed up the pros and cons of moving there before today.
Well apparently that was one of the reasons for Lemar turning them down (or so said one of the ITK tweets). I'm not surprised.
Why bid then? Arsenal shit it at the thought of having a face saving bid accepted.

John Cross trying to protect the club and Arsene here. He's a fan after all but as result it all seems completely transparent attempt at saving face.
that tweet only makes the club worse off imo
That tweet makes arsenal and wenger look bad
City too. They got the better player (B Silva) for sub 50m.

Makes logical sense.
Huge Arsenal fan John Cross must be gutted.
"We rejected him."
Lemar comes up with a MOTM performance for France right after rejecting Arsenal

Brilliant. They bid, their players tried to convince him to come (see laz twitter) but then they decide to pull out. Asnl looking like the butt hurt ex here...I'd love it if agent P had something to do with it too... Giroud: "sign for us you'll love it" / Lemar looks over to Pogba / Pogba shakes his head / Lemar: "i think i'll stay put"
Arsenal using a pigeon to carry out transfer negotiations over the channel?
Should have ridden the ferry instead.

Actually you are right but I do think that the last thing Arsenal want now is to seen to have been outright turned down by the player they tried to sign. The tweet from Cross certainly makes them look utterly incompetent but at least with this (and what I believe to be a fictional) version of events they've been portrayed as having made the decision themselves rather than to have been essentially powerless in the proceedings.

That is some bid for penny pinching Arsenal.
Understand the player not wanting to join them though, everyone can see the club is heading in the wrong direction fast.

What a goal though
It's a shame Wenger and the Arsenal board don't have enough time to wrap up the transfer
Now that he scored 2 goals, what is he worth now?
Fantastic performance and goal from Lemar tonight.
He´ll put in a shift for Monaco, help with their roster turnover, secure his World Cup spot and get a move for €65-80M next summer. Maybe even with a clear club in mind already.
exactly, why Bid then thinking you have not got enough time to complete? The only option is that they were just doing their usual "look we are willing to pay the big bucks" and their bluff was fecking called
"well, how the feck were we supposed to know that he would want to join us".
He'll be a priority for someone next summer rather than simply an afterthought/panic buy this
I'm sure it's been said on here already, but I find it odd that we seemingly had no interest in him whatsoever, despite clearly wanting a left winger. To be honest, I'm not familiar with him, but is there doubts about his ability or his attitude or something which has put us off?
He isn't a winger.
Given Barcelona seemingly showed interest over the last couple of days, and the fact that Liverpool surely won't sell Coutinho now given no replacement bought, I wouldn't be surprised if Barcelona brought in Lemar tomorrow - their fans will expect more than "just" Dembele. Even more likely after that screamer tonight!
No one is any more it seems.

If you're going to talk Bull at least make it slightly believable. Arsenal are a joke.
If I were Barcelona I would bid for him.
Unless Messi goes back to playing as a false 9 (and Suarez is dropped) or drops into midfield I can't see how Barca would be able to line up with both Dembele and Lemar
Suarez
Lemar - Messi - Dembele
Busquets - Rakitic
Alba - Umtiti - Pique - Semedo
Ter Stegen
