Partey and Kante are completely two different types of player.
Yes, but one should never let facts get in the way of a good idea.

Signing Sangaré would be shrewd business, which is why we probably won't do it.
Amadou Diawara and Danilo Pereira have been mentioned as Partey alternatives. Both are proper holding midfielders, so if there's any legitimacy to those rumours we'll probably go that route if Partey pursuit proves unsuccessful. Looking at a double pivot with Partey or a single pivot with a new DM.
That's when we started conceding 5 goals against big teams on a regular basis. He can't have been that good.Arteta was good at this too. He was disciplined at dropping back and covering us. Not as aggressive a ball winner though.
He didn't have any legs left. He couldn't cover any ground towards the end of his Arsenal career. And he wasn't overly athletic to begin with. This squad has been desperate for some athleticism since Coq left. Partey is a monster with technical ability. Absolutely dominated Liverpool at Anfield this year. #1 on my wish list.That's when we started conceding 5 goals against big teams on a regular basis. He can't have been that good.
We haven't heard any news for a bit but you'd like to think that no news is good news, haven't heard anything about him signing a new contract with them.
Didn't think about that either actually, even better news. Mind you I've actually seen news about an alternative from Roma though?Haven't heard any alternative signing options either, also good news. When Atletico go out of the CL I think this will accelerate. Is their QF vs Leipzig one leg?

I think everyone would rather Partey though, he can probably play in numerous positions which will help. I can't judge Diawara just yet though.Yeah Diawara, he'd also be a good signing tbf. Just Partey is that sort of player who really takes us up a level.
all these rumours seem to be about Africans - I'm beginning to hope AFCon is cancelled next year
This is my thinking. They have a legit chance to win the thing. Especially with the new format. I don't blame him for wanting to focus solely on CL. Shows good character as well.Wondering if there isn’t much noise because the CL is still ongoing

Fabrizio giving a very good interview on transfers. Said that Pjanic said yes to Barcelona in April but it took the clubs 3 months to strike a deal.
Think its similar with Partey, he's said yes but it'll happen after CL.
Your words or Fabrizios’?
