Wait. You guys know I get all my Arsenal news from here, right? So which is it - did he explicitly say so, or not?

Thanks for the link, Bwoolley

Wouldn't call that explicit!

Welcome to the Arsenal, Denis.

Never seen him play. Hopefully he's good.

This seems like a good deal, hopefully he proves himself worthy of signing permanently.

Least excited I’ve been about an Arsenal signing.

Guy looks weak as fuck and can’t see him making a difference tbh.

He’s actually quite fiesty with excellent work ethic

I like him a lot. He’s a very clever player

Much better compilation than the ones posted earlier. He's a potentially great player, his first touch is probably top 3 at Arsenal. That assist for Bacca vs Liverpool was great, half our squad would break their foot trying to control it like that first time

His one weakness is he dips in and out of games too often but that's because he barely gets game time, think that can be rectified quickly

Must you always be so negative? You'll get Emery fired any minute.

david silva joined city at a similar time in his career and there were similar doubts about him at the time. the physically weaker guys can still make an impact if they're talented and clever enough

Wasn't he Spain's U21 captain? Remember vaguely watching him play for them thinking this kid was amazing. Memory could be failing me though.

i meant there were doubts about him physically coming to the epl. and modric too. it can work if you're good enough, so let's hope denis falls into that category

Haven't seen him enough for an informed opinion on him but Cesc was weak too. His brain and technique was another level however. I am not worried about his slight frame if he is a quick thinking footballer who constantly moves, has good technique and a bit of fight in him.

He will be a big plus by only being more consistent and productive than Iwobi which shouldn't be hard.

He really does look like Ramsey. Feels like a Ross vs Russ situation.

We really replacing Ramsey with Ramsey.

He is replacing Ozil so you should be chuffed to bits.
I heard him say Iniesta is his idol and if he is half of what peak-Iniesta was, it help us no end as the current Ozil replacements have beeen very ordinary.

Technically we are not replacing him, but adding another Ramsey. And as it stands right now, only till the end of the season. Win win.

Agreed in general but Silva was a much bigger talent in Spain. Was pissed off to no end that we didn't even try to sign him from Valencia but 30m to us back then was like a 100m transfer today

Carrasco would have been a better signing albeit more maverick.

Anyway, I’m willing to give this Suarez guy a chance. Will comment again after I’ve seen him play 10 games.

Can he play in Europa league or is he cup tied?

I think UEFA scrapped the cup tied rule.

We've done really well to get a player as good as him in for a loan with option to buy. It's a crap deal for Barca a couple of lower clubs aparently offered 20M.

Modric was terrible in his first season mind you, got knocked around the place regularly. Something to keep in mind if Suarez struggles for a while too.

Let’s hope he’s mentally tougher than the last Spainsh winger we signed in a Jan transfer window.

Yep he really wanted to come here luckily. He didn't actually want to extend his barca contact either,  but did so to get the deal done

Apart from the often misleading youtube highlight videos, nobody seems to know much about this guy.
The best i could find was a Barca fan's view on Reddit.

To be honest I’d trust Emery more than anyone else and he said specifically yesterday he’s been brought in primary to play on the left or right.

You don't need to tell me that as it's not my opinion.
He looks too lightweight for that position.
Like goon said, Emery said he is a forward.

Awful debut

25 minutes against City when the rest of the team had given up. Chap didn't have a chance today.

Didn’t have a chance, but that doesn’t excuse him barely trying.

Boy needs to be fed some chicken breast and UMP beverly international powder.

This is the issue I have with him, looks like he should be on the Spanish love island not the premiership. His body language was awful when he came on.

😆 Getting on this guy's back after 20 minutes of game time...

Wanted to see a bit of drive and hunger from him when he came on.

Luckily, we haven't bought him. If he's shit, he goes right back to where he came from.

Oh great another player who's going to be mainly judged by his hair cut.

We should sign an experienced player like Ozil to light a fire under him.

Oh wait.
