I think he's the last piece in the puzzle. Sign him up in January and let's win the league.

This guy looks like a complete oaf every time I see him. He's a Southampton player, not Arsenal quality.

And the Gunners could renew their interest in the defensive midfielder after his latest comments.

😆 This article is such a load of houseboat.

Carvalho was, according to reports, head and shoulders above any other players in U21 tournament last summer. He'd be really handy for us, either to play with or instead of Coquelin.

That's because he's 23 and played in a tournament with 20 year old kids. Physically he was on an entirely different kevel. He looked like an awful footballer though.

I watched several games. Best player in the tournament. Very good short range passing, and ability to transition from defense to offense quickly, which our team lacks. I like the move if true, but I sooner expect Wenger to bring in Shaqiri for that area of the park.

If we wanted someone like him,

might as well get Imbula or Kongdobia.

good player. his agent and sporting have been pumping this guy up for ages, we never bother with players like this

he's not Wenger's style, so it's a very tenuous link.

These rumors resurface every six months or so. Don't know what to make of them any more.

I'll take him though. An extra body for the defensive midfield position is never a bad idea especially with our current, aging options.

He has size, power, aerial ability and can fill in as CB if needed. Perfect replacement for Arteta.

With Mendes being his agent, there is more chance of Wenger signing me.

Gave an interview where he said he's at the right club at the moment but if he ever leaves Sporting he wants to come to Arsenal because he's been a fan since Henry. Which rules us 100% out, don't think we've ever signed someone who talked about us in public.

Mertesacker had talked about playing for us.

And Jenko  😆
