He's very good , and the fee was ridiculous. Glad he's playing for us and not City though.
What we need is another midfielder on that level

Pepe LeFrits wasn't that Partey's nickname already? Need a different beast...the squid? Not sure he'd appreciate being likened to calamari, though...

      Don’t need or want Declan to change in any way. He’s part of that wall of power defence sitting in front of the four trees that gives the attacking players a platform to go about their business on.

      Feels like. “Oopsy daisy attack, you’ve uncharacteristically lost possession. Here let us just win that ball and get it back to you so you can have another go at attacking them. ‘E are!”

      He's gargantuan. Had him mixed up with Havertz for a few minutes yesterday, with the nett effect being to think "whoa Havertz is looking huge and really working his butt off today"

      It felt like he won the ball back so many times either through a tackle or interception. Crazy. He also hardly ever makes fouls. He was shooting off target with the laces yesterday think his side foot shooting is better.

        The way he gallops around the pitch the only thing that makes sense is The Centaur(TM).

        The best thing is the whole horse thing works on different levels. When he becomes old and a bum we can just change his nickname to Bojack.

          I was watching it yesterday and thinking that ball winning ability and drive reminds me of prime Kante, who I credit for winning Chelsea the league and CL.

          He should absolutely play as a 6 most of the time.

          Genuinely think Saliba, Gabriel and Rice are a league winning trio.

            105m what a bargain lol.

            2 English CMs costed over 100m turned out to be bargains in the same window. Unreal

            Without him we would have dropped at least 6 points already. He's a mentality monster and drives the team forward in difficult times. The English Vieira

            Only setting on him is beast mode

            this fucking guy is something else. I just know he's going to be there in big moments for us in the coming years. a man for the biggest occassions

            living proof of the old saying 'you buy cheap, you buy twice'. 105m bargain

            2 games now he's saved at the death. Clutch.
