If Madrid are willing to sell for 25m permanently then I’d spend it
Probably our best ever loan signing tbh. Really happy he selected us over TottenhamI have to stop reading this thread. People keep on and on how stupid the management was here, eventhough they basically had no option.
Madrid didn't give us the option to buy, it was not on the table. Also with no money to buy, you have to loan.
But I leave at this. Not sure who we could have loaned with similar quality.
AMN in more comparable to Partey. Nothing like Ceballos. He was our Thiago in role. We won't get a player like that. Ceballos even improved a lot defensively.It's a bit disappointing but if we keep AMN and he continues to blossom, then that softens the blow. AMN, Xhaka, Partey and another starter who us more creative and we may be able to progress with Arteta's coaching
They were not willing to sell. There’s a reason why they preferred to loan him to Arsenal because they were not interested in the prospect of Tottenham signing him permanentlyAMN in more comparable to Partey.

Losing him is the most painful one for me, we won't get an CM 8 player with technical ability to deal constantly with pressure (because Mr. Static Xhaka can't) good defensively and his engine at the age of 22 and PL experience for 20-25M.
Madrid wanted the money but cheap board wanted the loan. Now they have to spend it anyway in not proved player. Awful move. If I were Auba I wouldn't renew, this board never change

Even if he doesnt improve anymore than what he is at the moment you have a solid player who's 24 and young enough to give you another couple of years service at worst and then sell him down the line for similar.
Wait what? No. Hopefully he would improve.
Arteta can't keep babysitting him every game he has to focus on other areas and when fans get back this will just get harder.
He wants to stay at Madrid. Got to take a loss on this one.
We need 3 midfielders now, considering we’re selling Torreira and Guendouzi.
Season is over before started. This cheap board is gonna get the worst cheap options available.He wants to stay at Madrid. Got to take a loss on this one.

He will never make it at Madrid. His level is literally Arsenal or the likes of a Sevilla etc.
We dont need 3. We need two, Partey and one other. Xhaka and Partey can both play in the 6 but you'd like to think eventually Partey makes that position his own.
I'd like to see Willian as the LCM and for me the RCM has to be all singing and dancing, can do a bit of everything. Beundia springs to mind as an affordable option.
Buendia, Xhaka, Partey, Willian, ESR and Willock offers a lot of options in a 3.
Sounds like Madrid posturing for me. He wants to play.
He’s just had a very good loan spell. It’s promising. I’d keep him too if I were Madrid. I think he’s going to be a lot better than Casemiro.
