With Nketiah and ESR apparently off on loan, we must be confident about securing this one.

[#AFC are already in advanced talks with Carrasco’s club and reps over a deal & are confident of getting their man despite late interest from Milan [via @johncrossmirror]

Johnny boy says it's still on

Apparently he has edited his article and taken the last line out. A lot of backtracking.

I hope he proves to be too expensive for Milan and we do indeed get him, shades of Bobby Pires.

It’s done. Orny said no Carasco no Perisic. Maybe the kid from Psg

Really wanted another winger. Maybe we'll make a hailmary effort for malcom at the death

Could a transfer story be more Arsenal?

Wasn't it supposed to be different with Wenger gone!

Was supposed to be different when we moved out of highbury. Was supposed to be the reason to move out of highbury.

Ffs, pissed off about that.

I wanted a winger too but we'll probably be better off in the long run if we save that business for the summer.

Neither Carrasco or Perisic are on the level where you'd expect them to contribute with anything useful in January. Carrasco's been a mixed bag in China, and it's off-season there now to boot. Perisic on his part has been absolute bullshit for Inter this year; I'm not sure people appreciate how much his stock has fallen. Carrasco would have had more upside of the two in the longterm since he's younger, but we would have taken a gamble on either player.

I think we are better off trying to get someone proper the next window; someone with more obvious upside. It sounds like we'll have extra money by then thanks to the new sponsor deal. Maybe we can splash on Thorgan Hazard or Cengiz Under or someone like that.

Fuck the summer man. We need to qualify for the CL this year. Carrasco would have given the squad and the fans a lift.

A right back would be more impactful than another AM right now. This Bellerin injury is going to end us

Sicario: Maybe, maybe not. We got Suarez this window so let's hope he provides that lift.

We have tons of AMs. If these guys jointly can’t be picked and coached to feed two of the best strikers in the league, then God is against us.

I wonder if we can get Malcom, would be an upgrade on Suarez, Carrasco and Perisic.

Malcom would’ve been the ideal Barca target given his penetration and goal threat. Would’ve given us a different dimension. Think that boats’s sailed with the Suarez deal. Probably, like Sarri with Higuain, Emery wanted a friend.
