Jorginho: Gorgeous Jorg

This pretty much suggests to me that Arsenal will buy a DMF/CMF like Guimaraes this year, but not another midfielder. I still assume Partey will leave for free the year after, as no one will pay how much he is worth especially after being injured for almost a full season.

Getting Jorginho and Rice when Xhaka left, was a blessing. Wanted Xhaka to retire at Arsenal, but he wanted to go, and he deserved it. These guys have replaced his leadership and quality.

Jorginho in the ElNeny squad role would be immense.

I think they keep Partey around for another year. You’ve then got Rice and a potentially Bruno G who play most of the minutes. I like the look of that on paper, especially if Partey can play over 10 games.

Rice as a 6?

It's the new "power midfield" which was planned after this season. DMF/CMF like Guimaraes as DMF, Rice as LCM (similar to Xhaka) and Ødegaard as RCM against tougher opponents.

This year Partey was supposed to be part of the "power midfield" as the DMF, but had clearly the worst injury of his career. Now you're seeing him there like was planned.

Somehow I believe he will become a coach after retirement. Xhaka will do the same imo.
