Arsenal contract unknown:

Jon Toral

Following on from an encouraging loan spell with Brentford during the 2014/15 season, attacking playmaker Jon spent last campaign with Birmingham City - and made an instant impact, scoring twice in his first two games.

The skilful midfielder soon established himself as a first-team regular, adding six more goals to his haul after 38 appearances. At the end of the season Jon was named Supporters' Player of the Season, Players' Player of the Season and won the Goal of the Season award for an exceptional volley against Ipswich Town.

Jon (full name Jon Miquel Toral Harper) arrived from the Barcelona academy at the same time as Hector Bellerin. An exceptional dribbler, Jon has an English mother, and can play wide or in the number 10 position.

I'm all up for a bit of loan action until the summer transfer window. The Scottish Cup is massive for us this season.

Snippet from the report:

 

He ended 2016 in the treatment room with a sprained ankle but rejoined training yesterday as the minnows prepare for a daunting trip to face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Saturday.

Another ex-Brentford player. What the hell are we paying McParland for?

You have to wonder where they got their info for transfers while at Brentford - Watford?

I do very much assume that we do and he does much of the work away from anyone haring after any snippet of info. This could obviously led to the assumption that he doesn't do a lot, but we should perhaps not let assumtions and conjecture fog our mind. It is rather natural that MW will look at players available and if he actually knows the qualities of those players first hand, rather than having to rely on reports, all the better. It is not the non-plus-ultra recipe, but essentially something everyone of us would do.
