About 0% we’d pay 60m for 28 year old Carrasco. That seems wide of the mark, although maybe Newcastle is desperate enough.

“But can he play wing back?”

Yes, actually — he’s been playing great as an inverted LWB for Atletico. Not suprised to see us interested, he’d fit Conte’s system very very well.

Yeah, this was my thought too. I think he's played there for Belgium as well, but of course, Roberto Martinez would play anyone as wingback.

Edit: I thought he was younger than 28, though. Time flies.

I used to like Carrasco a lot ngl, still remember him slapping up Arsenal in champions league

Regular starter and contracted until June 2024.

 

[Pebble Dash]

Yes, he plays wing back for Belgium

Said to want to try out the PL. Linked to Arsenal the past 2 summers I think.

 

[chrissivad]

Its Newcastle and Us that are being mentioned, mainly Newcastle i think

 

[Timberwolf]

Yes, he plays wing back for Belgium

Does he play RWB?

I'd imagine the media will be going into overdrive linking Newcastle with everyone today.

 

[Pebble Dash]

Does he play RWB?

Yes

 

[Hakkz]

He has a release clause of 50m (don't know currency) that we and Newcastle "are willing" to trigger. Could be 100% agent bullshit.

 

[Timberwolf]

Yes

SIGN HIM UP!

Come on then, let's get it out of the way early doors. Does he have pace?

60M EUR, so about 49M GBP apparently

 

[bigfrooj]

Liked the guy for years but we’re not paying big for him. Not realistic.

Whores himself out all over the place. I like.

Sessegnon is always injured and he can play as LWB and RWB, would make sense.

 

[greavesy461]

He's predominantly right footed so I think he'd excel as a RWB in our formation where we need width (given lots of bodies in the centre). Would be unfamiliar to him though so would take half a season and pre-season to get used to it I'd imagine.
