A potential expensive flop. If you're serious you get him and a toyota like fraser as well. Belt and braces like
Yannick Carrasco, one step away from signing for Arsenal

James Olley on SkySports transfer talk podcast suggested #AFC will rekindle their interest in Carrasco this summer and would have enough time (compared to January) to get the deal over the line. He added the appetite should be there from all parties to secure the move.
Roma 101.5 FM ?: Carrasco was offered to Roma, Milan and Inter but they said ‘no’ due to the weight of the financial package between transfer fee and agent commissions. #AFC are about to engage with him.
I’m calling bullshit on this £40m budget
So looks like he might end up costing £25m.
He’s 25. His intrinsics could value him closer to 40m, if not more. Hopefully, we don’t take on a punitive salary. I noticed that Chelsea’s largest salaries right now are £150k for Kante and Azpi. Pool and Spurs sit around £200k.
Beginning to come round to the idea. In theory he’ll soon be entering his prime. He’d bring qualities we don’t currently have and he’s bring sexy back

The guy scored in CL semis and finals I think he'll be able to handle the mighty Bournemouths and Brightons of this world
But has he done it on a wet Wednesday at Stoke?

I don't attach as much importance to the guy getting the final touch for a goal as i think every player plays a part when the team scores. To follow your reasoning, Divock Origi scored in a more recent CL semi and a more recent CL final but i still would not want him for the Bournemouths and Brightons of this world. Another worry about Carrasco is the year spent in a substandard league. Video footage shows him looking much more chubby than the lean version that i remember. This is worrying for a guy less than 25 years of age and all this before we consider the issue of his attitude which i think contributed more to Atletico getting rid despite his ability.
I know players have done it but I find any player going to China in his prime to be completely unambitious.

Have you talked to him? Do you know his reasons?
Yes I'm sure there are hundreds of reasons he wanted to move to China.
He will flop.
He was excellent for Atletico in their champs league runs

It’s easy for ya to leap to conclusions about people’s motivations based on some model, but unless we’ve heard them, we dot really know. There could be any number of reasons he found himself out east.
I heard he likes chicken beak broth.
He didn't have a choice. The guy who owns Atletico own the China club too. It was a dodgy internal move

Ya maybe it's the same with Van Persie to Utd. You never talked to him so how could you know his reasons.
Maybe he fancied the Manchester night life as compared to London.
Why do you think van Persie moved to United?
