If it’s a buy, rather than a loan, it’s probably not true. One thing that has been consistent is we ain’t buying shit this window.
agree it doesn't sound like the best use of our limited resources but maybe it says something about Emery's lack of confidence in our current squad...:unsure:Quote:

Carrasco was a great prospect a few years ago but he’s wasted a year in China so you can’t be sure if he’s still potentially a top level player.
If we could get him as well as Suarez though that would be a couple of nice options to have until the end of the season. Particularly for the Europa League.
Still won’t solve anything at the back however...
He's a CM I don't really see how he helps any of those to be honest, an extra body yes but not particularly in an area we're desperate for, we need a winger and defenders more.Quote:

He's a CM though, if you need someone to play wide then surely you'd buy a winger not a CM who can fill in? But either way, based on his career to date not too sure what he can add, he's not what you'd call and outstanding talent.Quote:

I think I’d trust a manager who successfully managed him as a winger for an entire season, than just rely on calling him a CM because it’s listed as one of the areas he can play on the internet.
That's if you count it as successful, I wouldn't have called it successful personally, Sevilla never bought him after having him on loan which speak volumes, epsecailly given the fact he cost peanuts.Quote:
