Thomas Partey: Body Falling Apartey

El elephanto in ze roomio

que?

 

[razörist]

He’s missed chunks of every season he’s been here, that’s not going to improve with age.

Unlikely yes

Value is low

Might as well try another season instead of selling

We dont depend on him anymore

We’ll have to replace him and Jorginho at some point. Get TP5’s replacement now, then Jorginho’s in 2025 rather than having to do both in one window.

 

[Paperino]

If they dont get rid of this overrated git (that has done nothing for us) in the summer they are dumb beyond reality.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

We need someone who can actually contribute over the course of a season & this guy cannot.

Difficult to find someone with similar attributes but that's not a reason to keep him.

Time to say good bye....

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Like that he was looking for Saka over the top a few times.

Maaan Partey always looks for Starboy. You could legit have a 2-hour compilation of TP5 passing to him. Has to be his #1 favourite ball, closely followed by the short fast ball through the middle to Ode.

Why? The rest of the post was spot on but the bolded is laughable.

Well it's my opinion, I'm not talking about performances because he's not been consistent for one reason or another but i dare to name me more talented DMs than him. He is crazy good on the ball that's talent and in terms of technical ability he's up there with the very best for me

Not what you said originally was it? Had you said he's one of the most talented DMs we've had I'd still think it a bit of a stretch but at least its a conversation, you could then talk about whether a guy like Vieira fits that mould, how he compares to Petit/Gilberto etc.

One of the most talented *footballers* we've had at Arsenal? No chance.

 

[Tnegs]

This late season run will have bumped up his value a bit. I would love to keep him but it would be a big gamble on his ability to stay fit. Big decision to be made at the end of the season.

 

[avenellroad]

I really wouldn’t mind us keeping him, he has something no one else in our midfield offers tbh. Quick sharp passing to release the wide players

In his specific niche I don't think it's that outrageous a claim. Beating the press and passing between the lines there are few we've had at his level when he's at his best.

Not up there due to his injuries but that doesn't negate his talent

 

[Macho]

If it wasn’t for his controversies keeping him would be an absolute no brainer, just take the contract expiration.

He’s better than Jorginho he’s just never fit, which is less of an issue if he plays the Jorginho or Elneny role.

I’d still be there saying get rid.

 

[Macho]

I’d still be there saying get rid.

I respect it. I still think he’s our best midfielder on the books, just a shame his time has passed and he’s an injured tw*t.

Van Persie!?

 

[Macho]

Van Persie!?

Indeed injury record improving with age is not impossible. Also not common though.

Ødegaard is another one (albeit he’s still young).

 

[A_G]

Van Persie!?

Van Persie had mainly impact injuries, this guy has a chronic abductor problems. Apples and oranges.

I don't know man. I could research and dissaprove this point but I'm too lazy!
