Klaus wishing death on a player. A new low.
This forum is actually nuts 🤣
Sicario2 This forum is actually nuts 🤣
Which is lucky for you... 😛
Haha I can wish him any ills that I want. Fuck him.
QuincyAbeyie I see people who used to claim our hands were tied and that we couldn't just let him go for the allegations due to contractual obligations and possible lawsuits etc now advocate for a new contract.
That's where I was but if they re-sign him that goes out the window.
Absolutely terrible show by the club for a thoroughly replaceable player. I'd rather bring in some green 19-year old or train Lokonga to play there rather than see Partey on the pitch in an Arsenal shirt.
This is where I am, I think both have done well for the club but we need to move on
JazzG so next year will be a transition season? Can’t expect to win with too many changes
JazzG I think moving both on makes a lot of sense. I think keeping Trossard and moving on Partey isn't too bad as long as we get an additional winger and Trossard slides into the Sterling role (but much better and used more). Holding onto both just seems like Arteta is afraid to refresh.
Sicario2 transition seasons are for the likes of United and Spurs. Not a team who finished second and are looking to push on. Artetas first 3 years were transition. Its time to get the squad right now so that it can compete for the next 5.
Sicario2 Why would it need to be a transition year? IMO Zubimendi will replace and improve on Partey and Trossard isn't even a first XI player. I do appreciate the argument that keeping two senior players in the squad will help with any new players coming in but finances are finite
Sicario2 ppl making him sound like he’s a 40 year old
He might be.....but that is a discussion for another time!
Swap Jorginho and Sterling for Partry and Trossard and our squad depth will have instantly improved.
Don’t think we are playing championship manager this summer and getting rid of 10 and getting in 10
Qwiss exactly and that’s why we shouldn’t be messing around with fringe players (for 2025/2026 plus).
Sicario2 its why we need fit and fresh players who don't buckle on the biggest stage.
Giving a new contract to Partey is mad anyway. He's already in decline, do we really want to watch a 34 year old Partey plodding around the pitch?
We are in our winning window. Need to a) get the right people, and b) keep the squad healthy. The first aids the second, but one without the other will not get us to the promised land next year.
Qwiss 34? It would be a rolling one year contract.
He’s not even 32, ppl making him sound like he’s a 40 year old veteran
I want Partey gone but I think people are letting their personal feelings cloud their judgement of his ability. He's just come off the back of his best season in ages with us. For a 6 he's not that old and keeping him on for a season or two as backup 6 would be a no brainer if it wasn't for the obvious. He does stupid shit at inopportune moments sometimes but show me a second choice 6 that performs at a world class level all the time.
Sicario2 It would be a rolling one year contract.
You don't know that.
Sicario2 ppl making him sound like he’s a 40 year old veteran
Cos people been watching him play like one.
If it’s short deal that’s even better. Think he has one year left in him to be a good squad player
Gross.
Arsenal probably delighted they are getting a deal because no other serious club will take him.
