Needed so when the club disco comes around we can say “Yannicks at the disco”
not really convinced by him and would be pricey. onus would be on emery to get something more out of him than simeone did
i thought he was like 27. hes only 24.
skillful player.
my desire is to play kola at LM and have a LB behind him who can defend, so not sure how i feel about this. but carrasco on the RM would be pretty solid, imo
This bloke scored in a CL semi and in a final. Played under Simeone too
Sign him the fuck up
His club, Dalian, linked to Payet. His transfer out of China could be in motion. One of the more desirable links we’ve had. This guy is a baller. Will give our offense that directness it lacks right now.

Knocked us out of Champions League too. We should have signed him there and then.
Have to say I'm surprised over some of the scepticism towards Carrasco. This is the kind of signing that we used to excel at: supremely talented player with his prime years ahead of him who made a bad career choice and now needs a way back. It's like being offered Robert Pires at cut-rate back in 2000.
from what i'm reading it doesn't sound like the move to china was entirely his choice either
I've always wondered what really happened there too. He had a falling out with Simeone, and then out of the blue, as a 23 year old who could have had his pick among the top clubs in Europe, he went to a Chinese club that just happened to be owned by the same consortium that had a 20 percent stake in Atletico Madrid?
By the way, I just read that he apparently broke a teammate's nose during an argument in training back in August, and the other guy reported it to the police. Carrasco had his passport confiscated for a while by the authorities. The other guy hasn't played since. Might be a big reason both for him wanting out of China and for the club to consider selling him.
Want. Prefer this link to Denis Suarez.
Great player. Pace, dribbling skills, movement, goals and a bit of a cunt to boot.
Want but houseboat.
This I can get on board with, but don't think it will happen. We have no money, right? He will be expensive...big salary, big fee. As others have said, the only thing I don't like about him is the fact that he went to play in China...at 23.

Maybe you should wait for his explanation.
Gimme.

We need both
Is this Twitter guy legit since his tweet got Carrasco his own thread?
tantalising. I won't mind him at all. Just getting into his prime too... I just hope the Chinese haven't inflated his wages.
Of course they have.
And yes, we need Suarez and Carrasco. Lack of technique all over the pitch.
