Carrasco

Carrasco would certainly improve us but he isn’t an explosive wide player. More of a technical dribbler like Iwobi.

Coombs

Emery has always preferred technical wingers and more physical central midfielders. Think he'd work well for his ideal setup.

This is happening

Definitely an upgrade to what we have

I watched the first 90 seconds and he made at least 4 guys sit on the grass. I can’t remember a single one of our present squad making an opponent sit like a dog. Bringing sexy back.

Would you find this quite agreeable?

Positive in principle. But will it generate enough goals?

Hoping he can be our moura. Reputation for flaky inconsistency, but starts knitting those threads of talent together into a productive way

He's even unimpressive there against low quality players in the Chinese League.

I'd choose Ryan Fraser over Carrasco by a wide margin. He's faster, more creative, harder working, younger and a proven Premier League performer.

I'd take Iwobi on our left wing next season over Carrasco too.

Those videos aren't very impressive.

Anyway, I'll take people's word for it that he won't be a waste of time.

He hasn’t though has he? CL game against Ajax aside he’s as flakey as ever.

It’s exactly the sort of player we don’t need in my opinion, you just know in a couple of years he will be a burden on our wage bill that we will struggle to get rid of.

Coombs

I'm not totally sure what ya'll mean, but aren't those just clip after clip of him beating his man consistently and making a decent pass after, with a few goals sprinkled in? Isn't that what we are always asking for?

I'd take 15-20 goals and assists from whatever winger we get. That's broadly the class of winger our budget stretches to. Then it comes down what else the guy brings to the table e.g. defensive work rate, dribbling, link play

I thought I was the only one. It's a video of him beating players for fun in a league where he should be beating players for fun. Should have bought him in January.

Giovanni Scotto on Twitter: "Yannick #Carrasco vicino all'Arsenal: il Dalian Yifang chiede 30 milioni #calciomercato Yannick #Carrasco close to @Arsenal. Dalian Yifang asks 30 mln #Arsenal"

Used to work with di marzito, pretty reliable guy.

Sacha Tavolieri - "As I told you, the agent of Carrasco is working really hard to close the deal of Carrasco. The deal is more around the €25M mark but it edges closer every single day."

Sacha Tavolieri - Belgian reporter, works for RMC Sports and a bunch other. They say he is reliable for Belgian players.

at 25 milion, I would take him. I mean we are not gonna get 80 milion Pepe...get him and Fraser for 10 mil. And we got 2 wingers, one that can dribble(something like others have said we are missing like crazy) and one that stays wide and wips in crosses. Use the rest of the money to fix that defence.

goon

What’s his defensive and pressing game like? You’d like to think having played for Atletico it must be adequate at the very least.

Gazza M

It's not great. One of the reasons he didn't work at atleti was that simeone demands alot of his wingers defensively, to the point return that he basically stopped playing them and stuck midfielders in the wide positions

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Brilliant.

QuincyAbeyie

€25m is a good price.
