A box of Partey - Xhaka - Upamecano - Saliba would be impenetrable. Our fullbacks would be able to rampage freely. And there would be enough strength and skill there.
Wake up Claudey you’re dreaming again.
Arsenal reality show, the window begins.

You need to live with a little bit of belief, brother. Arsene taught me that

Instead we will use half measures and squad fillers and wonder why we are so shit. Need to go all in and make those signings happen , and get rid of the dross all in one big window.
The only issue is, can either Saliba or Upamecano play as the left side CB?
But that combination of strength, pace, and passing out of the back, would be sensational.
Seriously, just throw the money at him or Konate. Go big or go home.
Upamecano can play on the left. He's had to play a few games on the left of the backline.
Saliba seems to prefer playing on the right yeah? Watched a match comp and he seemed to play RCB in a back three.
He’s actually very adept on the left. Saw a few live matches where he played there
Talking about Saliba I'd love his replacement Fofana here too. Seems just as talented, not sure Sainte would sell their next academy prospect to us too

He’s a very good shout. They’ve played together as well so instant chemistry. Big, physical, dominant in the air. Not as skillful as our pretty boy, but a good overall package.
Arabic ITK?
A reliable one too. This one's done
Just out of interest, what have they ever got right?
He is pretty accurate. Was the first to report Banega to Al Shahbab few months ago
Partey looks a good player, not sure I am buying all the hype. His passing looks kind of average especially when going foward. He's a turnover machine though, guess thats what Artera is looking for.. but for 50m, feel like there are better/younger options..
Have you watched him play much? I wasn’t all that excited until I saw him against Liverpool earlier this year. Dominated one of the most intense midfields there are.
No, Partey is brilliant. His tackling technique is impeccable, it's probably my favorite part of his game, and he always looks up and drives forward when he gets the ball. He's an excellent dribbler, which he hardly gets credit for, and he's quite press resistant. He's not a DLP, he's a modern CM if there ever was one, or at least has the attributes to be. If passing is his weakest attribute it's only because his game is ambitious to a fault. He's wasted at Atleti under such a cartoonish manager and I think he'd be a massive success under someone like Arteta.
Fuck yes.

Ive seen him a few times. Defensivley great. On the ball is where there is bit of a concern.. but yeah, im no expert on him. Just what i have seen.
