Correct.

The Winter transfer window starts in January from 1st to 31st.

Could see Emery move for Dani Ceballos who is out of contract at Real Madrid in summer and he brought him to Arsenal so maybe we either sign him January or summer.
Central midfielder who has quality even though he was mixed at Arsenal think he is someone to look at.

He's rubbish, so no.

If ever there was a balloon of a man who still wants to be relevant to football

Another Villarreal player linked - Alex Baena, 21 yr old winger

Correct.

He's one of the world's worst twats.

His blog is an absolute mine of Partridgesque bitterness, schadenfreude and self-unawareness. For the dignity of the site, I won't link it, but it's a gem if you're into that kind of thing, which I am.

I can see Lo Celso being signed.
He's an Emery man has played under him several clubs.

What position is Lo Celso Footy?  What are his attributes?

Yet another not-quite-attacking-not-quite-defensive-tidy-passing- keep-things-ticking-over midfielder.

Basically Sanson's twin brother.

Didn't he score nearly 20 goals one season at Betis?

I'd take him. Still mid 20s and I don't think he looked that bad at Spurs in deeper position to what he played in La Liga but picked up a few niggling injuries.

No idea if Villareal have an option to buy but Spurs would certainly take about 25-30m off us instead.

Need some wide options in January, as the sight of Dendoncker playing in a wide attacking position towards the end was a bit of a strange one!!

Some of his play in the Champions League last season was outstanding in the knock out rounds.
He plays in the 3 midfield would fit perfectly for us and has the football intelligence.
Lo Celso will be in the first 11 for Argentina as long as he's fit  as he picked up an injury and Argentina manager Scaloni basically has said he's irreplaceable.

Emery likes him. Welcome addition.
Issue would be Argentina winning the world cup would put a bigger price on him.

16, according to the interwebs, of which seven were in cup runs, five years ago. Which is perfectly commendable, but I'm not sure I'd be signing him on the strength of it.

If we're signing a central attacking midfielder I think I'd prefer to see what Emery is doing with Ramsey, Buendia or Coutinho before we go down that road, and if we're signing someone for further back I'd prefer to be signing them based on something other than goals from a season a few years back.

[SoccerHQ]

Well we were all lauding McGinn for about 6-7 goals in the championship and 2-3 in prem in 2019 as brilliant attacking midfielder so 16 from just over 40 games is very good indeed although he hasn't come close to replicating it since.

Emery also signed and worked with him for PSG so obviously rates him and would take him here given where we are in the pecking order.
