Right Sometimes
Please what ? He has been amazing at Madrid with all the managers who gave him a real chance and has been the standout performer ever since he moved to Bayern until Kovac dropped him because they have somewhat of a personal problem with one another

Hate to burst your bubble but 99% of football players are in it for the money.

It’s their job, their profession. They get stick when they move for more money when every normal person does that in their life.
Imagine a kid in McDonalds getting stick for going to work in a bank for more money because he lacked ‘loyalty’.

Personal problems or whatever it is he signed for massive money to Madrid and has been shipped out on loan. And Bayern aren't keen to take the buy option in his contract (Which is lower than the reported fee we could be buying him for)
Managers can go in an instant. So maybe I'm missing something but that to me isn't good when two managers don't fancy a player.

Yes because earning £100, 000 a week and £300 a week is a reasonable comparison. Footballers at the higher end of the game should be set for life if they're sensible without looking for "pay day" transfers.

Come on, anyone who goes to China in their mid-twenties is not someone who's going to be motivated and roll their sleeves up to help this club get back in the CL.

No bubble to burst. I'm pretty sure every professional player is in it for the money. It's just most want to play in a top league at a high standard and not some tin pot Chinese league that most of us would struggle to name a couple of teams in.

I'd take him for sure. It's not like a better player of the mold seems to be on the way in. Imagine if they could take care of Mhiki instead. Dream scenario ffs.

On what accounts do you base that he is a dressing room cancer? All I've seen were his falling out with Simeone and that in China he had a bust-up with a teammate, injured his nose and then apologized and offered to pay for the guy's medical bills. I don't think those things on their own qualify someone as a dressing room cancer. That's a pretty big charge to level.
He was a damn productive player at Monaco and Atletico Madrid. He was also good enough to play for Belgium in the World Cup just last summer, although Roberto Martinez drew criticism for shoehorning him in at left wingback. He couldn't be all that bad and certainly wasn't when I saw him play for Monaco and Atletico.
That said, it's being reported that Leonardo Jardim is about to take over Dalian Yifang and wants Carrasco to stay, so he's probably not going anywhere anyway. But if Sven, et al, think he's worth bringing to Arsenal, I will trust their judgement over a bunch of internet gossip and speculation. He certainly fits the physical and technical profile of the sort of player most around here have been clamoring for.

You think all footballers mainly play football for the money?

There were constant stories at the time that he fell out with players in the Atletico dressing room and was getting into arguments. Had issues with what was expected from him workload wise so got into it with Burgos and the senior players.
I agree, technically and physically he’s incredible. Has everything in his locker. Between the ears though he’s a joke, it was like watching Gervinho all over again with some of his decision making, it was painful but unlike Gervinho he was capable of unreal quality.
I thought he had more potential than Griezmann when he arrived but whereas AG worked tirelessly on his all round game and developed into one of the best in the world, Carrasco didn’t bother at all. He left us exactly the same player as when he arrived.
I mean if you got him buying into us 100% and he completely changed every mental aspect of his game then yeah go for it. I think it’s never going to happen though.

but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
James and Carassco are both quality players. We will sign neither.

Can we dream tho? Haha

Right well, looking at our next 6 or so fixtures we 100% need a signing or two this window and ASAP. Our squad is still pretty fragile atm, although we are gradually getting players back.
