No wonder Auba is so outspoken and confident about new signings on the live stream

Journo in spain and all the madrid journalists thinks we have humiliated Atleti massively and they are livid.

I dont understand the thought process here. If we dont give the [font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif]Torreira, I would understand but us triggering the clause is a humiliation for them? [/font]

Because we didn't even have the courtesy to inform them, despite being in constantly communication for weeks.

And by all accounts we have told them we will not be activating the release clause and Atleti took that in good faith and started planning everything with Partey. The fact we secretly activated it without informing them with hours to go have left them looking like idiots 😆 Even Partey didn't communicate with the club and just left for medicals

Ahh! Still, fuck them. I hope we dont complete the loan as well for Torreira

Claudius

Sounds like he will sign a 5 year contract. Will take him to his 32nd birthday. So will get all of his prime years and be done.

The whole idea that we should've told Atletico that we would activate the release clause is propaganda on their part. Do not be caught in their web of misinformation.

It was in no way in our interests to inform them that we would activate the release clause at any point before releasing it because we were trying to negotiate with them to give us a better deal outside the release clause. And they knew this. They felt protected by the release clause, but it now turns out that it was misguided faith.

I do think it's common courtesy, and I bet that Partey won't be popular over there after this either, but it sounds like Atletico Madrid pissed us off massively by hardballing us with Torreira in addition to their attitude when we asked to buy Partey. No doubt they saw us as a smaller club those fuckers.

Partey 'almost certain' to happen

Ian Dennis

BBC Radio 5 Live senior football reporter

I’m told the Thomas Partey move to Arsenal is “almost certain” to happen according to sources close to the player which will be great news for Mikel Arteta.

I believe every other big transfers where they activated the release clause, like Griezmann for example, the buying club always warn the other party in advance before activating it.

It's so stupid for them to be salty now. We wanted Partey, they wanted Torreira. The result was that we had to pay Partey's release clause while they loaned Torreira since they refused to give us any money and somehow they're the victim here.

Jack Wilshere contract got terminated, free agent now.

Fulham loaned Loftus Cheek and Aderabiyo, signs Joachim Andersen. How many CB do they need?

Omar Rekik move to us fall through because we cannot complete his medical in time, will be signed in January instead.

Raphinha done deal to Leeds

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Sad for Jack 🙁

I'd take him.

goon

At our training ground now apparently, it’s all done.

Club finally feels like it’s really on the right track. No messing around.

For sure.

Seriously, I can't believe we're doing this to them the day after United lose 1-6 and Liverpool lose 2-7. The last 24 hours have contained several years' worth of schadenfreude. I've had so much of it that I feel like that fat bloke who eats until he explodes in Monty Python. So, so bloated and happy.
