Yep just listened to that. If a deal for Mitoma to Arsenal is on the cards then Paul Barber certainly doesnt know about it, and given that in that same interview he talks about how he's more involved in outgoing deals recently then it pretty conclusively shows that the mentioned rumour on this...
Pedro also back in a few weeks, and with a little more time to learn our playing style Barco will be a wide option. Losing Mitoma is a big blow but we'll still have good options.
Why does FA Cup make any difference? Still a Prem quality team. We're not going to throw players in before coaches feel said player is ready. He's 19 and had a week of training.
