Probably bollocks since it's just based on a Daily Mail article but whatever. This guy has been quite good in MLS this year, scored some nice goals. But that seems like a pretty steep price regardless. Likely a non-story but we'll see.

I think we will be fairly active in Jan. We're already being linked to quite a few and if Alexis & Özil do go in Jan (so we get some money) that will ensure we bring some new faces in. As it is I would bring in a CB anyway, already we are seeing Kos miss games.

How we have fallen. MLS players?

MLS is not all that bad, probably better than say Scotland or some Scandinavian leagues at this point. Lots of people say it's on par with the Eredivisie, though I'm sure that's very debatable and I dont watch Eredivisie so I dont' know.

There are some very good players in the league though, especially attackers. Lots of South Americans playing there now because they can make better money than in their local leagues.

That said I don't know enough about Almiron to say if he would be worth picking up. But if the likes of Inter actually are also interested then that is a decent sign.

It's probably our best chance of unearthing something these days.

What’s with all these no names we’re being linked with.

Fits the theme Gazidis talk about us trying to be more like Leicester to win the league.

Almiron is potentially the best player in the MLS, but he is definitely not Arsenal quality. Will probably move to a lower-to-mid table La Liga side, as he's Paraguayan and of slight build, or he'll just continue to dominate the MLS and make way more as a DP than he could in Europe. He's also a few months away from 24, so not exactly a sure bet to improve all that much more.

We were linked with him before he went to MLS.

Dont want. He is good, but not our level at all.

I watch him every week, and totally agree. He needs a mid-career bloom in, say, La Liga, before he could be considered.

Watched him few times for our Atlanta, but it was clear he aint ready for such
A step up as top clubs. He might be good for Genoa's or Sociedad's, but thats about it for now

Not quite sure what level that is these days..

We’re still slightly beyond undersized, fringe Paraguayan NT squad players, fortunately.
