Partey by himself would be a better double pivot than anything with Xhaka in it.
Man what a Part pooper.

End up a bit Part player.
Nah, at least Xhaka can pass, someone like Partey who is athletic and can cover ground as well as being more intelligent than him would cover up a lot of weaknesses in his game, which would make it a pretty solid pivot against non top 6 sides.
Torreira I see no point in unless heās paired with a magician like Cazorla, Coquelin style, but even then I feel like Valencia Coquelin is probably better (more athletic, better physical conditions, basically the same player otherwise), and yeah, Valencia Coquelin is obviously hugely upgradable.
Torreira-Partey would just be a slightly upgraded version of Xhaka-Torreira, which is to say, pretty shit.
But it came straight from the playerās mouth!
I was just pulling your plums there 
I have no knowledge of how to pronounce his name correctly.

Partey and Ceballos are going to cost at least ā¬80 million. Iād be very surprised if Arsenal will spend that kind of money. Real are not going to do Arsenal a favor. Even if Ceballos doesnāt have a future there.
This rumour is Partey pushing Atletico for a new contract I still think.
No ones paying 80m for Ceballos
Transfer fees are probably going to be vastly deflated because of the crisis anyway but even if they werenāt Ceballos is a 30m player tops.

I meant Partey and Ceballos together. Indeed, Partey for ā¬50 and Ceballos for ā¬30.
Yes Iād probably agree with that in the market prior to what it was. If all teams are closed doors for the next year and playing itāll take a hit on transfer valuations. And thatās if football even restarts
I think we should sell Toreira to Italy/Spain. Try and recoup as much of the fee as possible. If we can sell Xhaka too maybe.
Torreira is worth far more than what we paid for him, whether thatās as a place in our squad or resale valueā¦
I donāt think he is, I consider him a flop, Milan offered less than what we paid.
Just like Iām sure we offered Ozil a Ā£100k a week contract rather than ludicrous money heās on now.
What one party offers doesnāt have any impact on what theyāre worth or will eventually sell for

Milan are even dumber operating in the market than we are. Donāt forget, they have Ivan now.
Torreira certainly isnāt a flop, heās shown enough quality to see thereās talent. I donāt think Emery liked having a shorter player in midfield, he picked up injuries and now we have a new manager who might play a system that doesnāt suit him.

I just donāt think Toreira does anything particularly well and heās short, physically weak while lacking top level technical ability. When you stuggle to get in the worst Arsenal midfield in how many decades itās time to move him on and replace

Agree to disagree. He is a better option than Xhaka, in my opinion, but Emery liked Xhakaās apparently unique ability to hit a long diagonal ball with his left foot. /s
So did Wenger and Arteta. Emery isnāt the only one who played that wally.

Oh donāt get me wrong, we should move Xhaka on when we get the chance
