…if they get a deal for Moises Caicedo over the line.

There has been disappointment at Arsenal that Partey dominated matches for two thirds of the past season, then regressed to his performance levels of the previous two campaigns. [@TimesSport, @garyjacob] #afc

I don't like his association with this club, but it would be very difficult to lose Xhaka, Partey, and potentially Jorginho in one summer

We aren't getting rid of our 3 midfield vets in one window. We have CL and the the league next season and we will need depth.

our 3 midfield vets

I will not stand for this Elneny erasure!

That's arguably the issue. If we're losing Xhaka and Partey and only bringing in two, our squad would still be a little shallow.

So it's not Riceido, it's Riceidogan!!

Not gonna lie, I'm okay with this πŸ‘€

@sabret00the Would defo soften the blow if the incomings were riceido 😬

With ESR making the transition to the Xhaka role, it's not all doom and gloom but we'll need to get a usable Elneny replacement in the next window.

@sabret00the @Gingerrific i like the idea of keeping partey as a rotation player for rice; have him play 20-25 games (which is all he seems available for anyway)

[–] sabret00the 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think our reasons for moving Partey on are football related.

@WorldcupCSR @sabret00the @Gingerrific his fragility is one reason why I'd just take whatever we can get for him. A backup who's never available is not a real backup.

[–] WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@thatdosbox @sabret00the @Gingerrific but if he would accept the role and really just play 20-25 games he’d be a backup that didn’t cause the levels to drop significantly.

[–] thatdosbox@mstdn.ca 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@WorldcupCSR @sabret00the @Gingerrific let's just say his fragility is *one* reason I'd be fine with getting rid of him 🀐

[–] WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@thatdosbox @sabret00the @Gingerrific on a separate topic, seeing an athletic article on Marcus Thuram; wonder why we aren’t in for him??

[–] thatdosbox@mstdn.ca 1 points 1 year ago

@WorldcupCSR @sabret00the @Gingerrific seems he's more suited to a counter attacking team, and less suited to patient build up play?

[–] Naryn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Jorginho is happy to stay apparently.
