Hi Ed,
I read a report claiming Sporting may lower their asking price for Carvalho if they can get a player or two on loan from us. The report even mentions Miyaichi and Coquelin, players definitely surplus to requirements at Arsenal. Is their any truth, to any of it?

{Ed002's Note - It would be negotiable if Arsenal exchanged or loaned a player - the point is that no one is prepared to pay the full asking price.}

I'm sure Sporting Lisbon would jump at the chance of the loan of Abou Diaby for the next 12 months. About the time it will take him to be fit again!
