The club's handling of the Partey allegations

Claudius

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

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?

Sicario2

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

Pepe LeFrits

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.

You don't know that.

Cos people been watching him play like one.

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!

Sicario2

If it’s short deal that’s even better. Think he has one year left in him to be a good squad player

Qwiss

Gross.

Arsenal probably delighted they are getting a deal because no other serious club will take him.

Gurgen

Revolting. Feel like doing a Klaus if this is true

Meatwad

athletico is a pretty serious club. it says something about him that the two clubs he has history with, that know his character still want him at his age. but oh well unproven accusations matter more, so off you go.

Claudius

Meatwad Barca also interested in him. Would’ve been easier for everyone for him to go to Saudi.

Tam

Tells me a lot about someone when they're willing to take transfer rumours but not sexual assault accusations at face value

Sicario2

Even if he does extend he will be missing for 4-6 weeks in Jan/Feb due to the ACON. Think we may need to get another CM even if Partey stays and we bring in Zubi. We need legs man.

Qwiss

Sicario2 another reason to not renew

Meatwad

Sicario2
shit that's the most relevant reason not to renew.

invisibleman18

Sicario2 knowing us that will probably feel like it's a surprise when it comes around. If only there was some way to plan for it in advance.

JazzG

Sicario2

JazzG add another midfielder to the shopping list. Good luck.

JazzG

samthegooner Personally I think we should be going for Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille who can learn behind Zubimendi but has world class potential at 6 or 8. Agoume would also be a good option.

Wonder how much he would go for, all the twitter tacticos love Bouaddi lol. Don't know much about Agoume.

Sicario2 Probably down to money or playing time, was always going to be hard to keep him here if he has to accept lower wages and less playing time.

HomeSteak

Happy he is gone
