Thomas Partey

[The_Playmaker]

The media said same last 2 season and we ended up spending 200m and only made few sales. Yes this summer could be bit different because the crisis but that affect all clubs

I posted a video of giantgooner breaking down the finances. We don't have 100 million to spend. Transfers are paid in installments, we still owe Lille money and St Etienne also. It's a 35 -45 million budget even with the Europa league.
Clauses need to be paid in full or two installments. That's still most of our budget.

The only way we get Partey is if we do a swap or sell players, but with so many positions how do we do this?

Saleable assets are Guendouzi and Lacazette. We are trying to keep Auba.

So with that cash if we sell Laca we need a replacement and if we buy that replacement, we still need a cb and midfielder. Where is the money for Partey?

 

[Sanchez11]

I can see alot leaving tbh, we will have the money.

 

[razörist]

I meant tackles by Xhaka and Kola as individuals not their combined amount. Also I don't think we would buy Partey to hold. Your spot on with the Willock development. Partey is a world class 8. He is not a world class DM. In fact we have someone who could develop into a world class dm if we use him properly.

Saka--------Partey
------Torreira

Is an incredibly balanced midfield. I'm not against the transfer, just think Partey is a bit misunderstood and we could probably find a cheaper version. However you are right that we need to raise the age profile of our squad.

How would we afford him? Release clauses must be paid in full and our budget is roughly 35 million.

Every year they say we have no money and every year they’re wrong. Pundits still explaining away how we got Saliba, Tierney, Pepe, David Luiz, Martinelli and Ceballos in the same window with “they are paying in installments” like we’re the first one to do that.

The rumour that we have no money is probably spread by big **** Raul to drive the price down. We can buy players like Partey.

 

[razörist]

You lot underestimate the power of Raul. He would sell his wife to get Arteta the players he wants. Have faith.

So why we would interested to sign Partey if we can't afford him? Specially he got release clause.

Well wages and transfer fees should both be considered
so us moving on squad players like Mustafi or Holding on might not generate a huge amount in transfer fees but it does free up a significant amount of money in wages
Our priority rn is
- Getting Aubameyang to re-sign, to be able to afford his wage demands + sign on bonus we are likely going to use 200k freed up Mkhitaryan leaving (11m in total).

If Auba stays we are likely going to use player sales to finance Partey deal and then depending on who we can move on decide how much we can spend on a CB.

He didn't though. As many as Xhaka, and one more than Kolasinac.

That's not an incredibly balanced midfield, far from actually. Saka is just a kid, so I won't dwell further on that. Partey at that point would be far too high up the pitch. Torreira is simply way too average with his passing, and a midget weakling for the PL.

I don't know how we can afford him, but given we're interested I'm sure we have a plan ready.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

well we are also operating on a loss arent we this season, 3 seasons of spending with no CL football is bound to take a toll on our finances. Plus with the loss of revenue due to COVID and I feel this year rebuildng will rely on us selling to buy

The good thing is that we need to have a clearout and that will free up significant amount of wages and cash.
Mustafi, Holding, Sokratis are going to be sold and that will allow us to get a CB.
In midfield we can sell Guendouzi for 25-35m and use that to go get Partey.
Upfront if we keep Auba then Laca might be moved on to free up funds for a signing.

In my opinion it's all depends on kroenke he said he'll inject money to the club because of this crisis it'll definitely help us out. We'll definitely make some sales already freed 8m from Mkhi mustafi Sokratis Guendouzi Lacazette all will be up for sale.

 

[jmsmtthw28]

I have no hope in our owners tbh.

Well he the reason last 2 season we spend money without CL football yes Kroenke is a c**t but he won't stand still and do nothing.

 

[jmsmtthw28]

I hope you are right about that, I do expect us to free up enough funds to get Partey and a CB but anything after that feels unlikely rn.
Maybe someone like Depay would be possible too if Laca leaves since Depay is on the last year of his contract.

Saka--------Partey
------Torreira

The only case I could see us playing this is if we faced Real Madrid away from home.

 

[MikelHadADream]

I like Partey, but I don't think he is the be all and end all. Zakaria would cost the same amount, is younger and has also played his entire international career alongside Xhaka.

Partey is a lot better than Zakaria. The guy has world class performances against Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona. If you can get a player of this calibre, and he wants to join, you do everything you can to get him.

He is also at the perfect age for a DM. He has at least 5 more top class years left in him.

You realise that with the installments going out we have installments coming in? Even then the “budget” isn’t how much cash we have available but how much we can add to the balance sheet. What we still have to pay in installements is irrelevant. Those fees have already been amortised on the balance sheet.

 

[Hunta]

Torreira is terrible. His level is mid-table in Italy.

No pace, no physicality, no technique, no hope.

Nowhere near creative enough. Doesn't really fit Arteta's style of football either.

 

[Eduardo_da_Silva]

Total bullshit. Top player. I dont know if we will ever see him demonstrate that at Arsenal, but he will prove it sooner or later.

Spot on as usual.

Thankfully he wants to leave anyway.

Its his first game back from injury mate come on.

Hardly his biggest fan but give the hobbit a chance.
