Thomas Partey

Claudius

He was excellent, Gazza. He has a reading of the game ad work rate host are absent. His anticipation of where play will go is great

goon

Orny jumping on the bandwagon.

Gazza M

Orny doesn't have that old money clout of the beeb anymore, but I'll take any name dropping of big tom at this point

speedy

Remember when song came into the team and suddenly we were so much harder to bully. I'm imagining a simular effect.

Clrnc

This is official now since Orny is reporting. Starting to believe we can do it.

Will be our biggest impact signing since Alexis

speedy

I reckon someone is leaving to fund this. AUba or douzi maybe?

Laca has been heavily 'linked' as we only signed him when Atletico were given a transfer ban (for breaching FFP??), and they have been struggling to score since Griezmann left.

Claudius

I’m fine sacrificing Douzi for this. Douzi might or might not develop into a great central midfielder. If someone is willing to pay top dollar now for him, let’s take it and bring in this sure thing. Partey has mastered the DM position. He will boost centreback and AM performance significantly when he arrives. When young players like Willock and Saka see his movement and tackling, they’ll also grow faster. Nobody is doing that right now.

And Douzi will be better for learning next to Saul and under Don Simeone. It’s a win-win.

Laca and Douzi, hundred percent. Two blokes with zero impact on the starting eleven whose market value is weirdly high. You don't have to be Liverpool to realise that's where you make your money this summer. If anyone working for us have even a fraction of a brain they've been trying to get both out the door ever since Douzi had his first bust up with Arteta in Dubai in February.

speedy

do you reckon its a mental rut with Laca or is he physically finished?

Klaus

I think it's physical. I don't reckon he was ever a great athlete the way Auba is but he just seems slower in everything he does now, and it started long before Eddie came back and challenged him, before the Baku final even. I think he really tried to play well against Sheffield the other day but he had no edge over their defenders. Couldn't get in behind and couldn't challenge them physically so he dropped deep instead and tried to link well. There was a break opportunity where he kept running sideways after the ball instead of bringing it with him up the field and counter. To me it looked like a player who knew he couldn't produce anything in those situations anymore and was hoping that someone else would come up with something instead.

Spanish AS: Atletico trying to include Thomas Partey in a deal with Napoli for Milik but its doudbtful if the Italian team can make a huge wage offer for him. Arsenal are willing to triple his salary and are best placed to sign him

If Atletico want a striker they should really give us 50 mil for Laca.

Would you want Laca?

goon

Why are Atletico hoarding strikers?

Clrnc

Because they play with 2 strikers?

Currently they only have Diego Costa, Morata, Correa, Joao Felix and Saponjic. Hardly enough.

And Costa is 32 this year. Easy to forget that he ages between all the skullduggery

QuincyAbeyie

He may be 32, but he's playing like he's 35. Guy has completely lost it. They have enough strikers, but they're not good enough.

Put that shit on Stan’s black card. He’ll get a lifetime of flight upgrades and hotel stays out of it.
