Thomas Partey (5)

Gone missing again down the stretch. Infuriating that he never finishes a season strong.

This summer coming up should be one to keep an eye on as think the club might look to move him on after all the rumours this year, along with the injury issues. Might be a clean break to suit both parties.

This man is mentally suspect isn’t he.

I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to it. The guy is a big talent but spends too much time out injured and played some diabolical minutes for us in big games.

Definitely should look to athletic midfielders as alternatives to him in summer.

Been wank for a month but was the best midfielder in the prem for most of the season.

Hoping the normal Partey comes back ready in august and we just drop him for the final 2 months so we can secure the title next year.

Must hold onto him.

Already losing Xhaka.

Keep key players at the club. They made us title contenders. Don’t disrupt the core of the team, please.

We need more info on his case status to see how long he’s going to feature next season, given that he’s likely to play in the next AFCON starting jan 2024.

I wouldn’t let him go for any less than Ā£40m tbh with you. There’s plenty of life left in him and the only thing that would make me open to selling him is his injury record when he’s been here and the allegations which are still just uncertain.

If Arteta is ok seeing him go, I’m ok with it too.

Again, Rice/Mount and is big upgrade over Partey/Xhaka

Said a few days back a clean break could be best for both parties due to the allegations. Gives him a fresh start elsewhere (assuming he’s innocent) and enables us to bring in one of our other midfield targets

I’d be gutted not to see Partey in a CL campaign. The big dick move would be sign Rice, keep Partey and make Caicedo a priority in January with eyes on losing Partey next summer.

I don’t think the Partey Xhaka balance was anything special especially due to the latter but I’d be a little concerned with destabilising our entire midfield so quickly.

Only issue might be Brighton may not sell Caicedo mid season in January if they go on to have a good season again.

Finally have a good midfield and we disband it in one summer? Get out of here.

Rice and mount an upgrade? Sorry sev but that’s laughable :joy:

The upgrade is Rice and Mount in for dead legged Xhaka. But yeh you take Partey away and suddenly we could be back to relying on fucking Elneny in a few months.

This one ain’t for me regardless of who we bring in

Yeah losing Partey and Xhaka is disastrous, unless we get Gundogan as well.
