I'm interested in what your opinion is on Partey? I've seen him play a few times and he's a good player but at 50m for a 27 year old to plug 1 hole when we have 4 or 5 holes seems silly.
Tbh I haven't seen him play really. Can't remember when I last watched Atletico, and when I did I never payed attention to him. There's better people out there to give opinions on him.
If he can add something, well, CM is a massive problem. On the other hand I'm fairly certain you can get decent players for smaller sums if you are clever, follow a longterm rebuild plan as Arsenal should right now and show patience. This club has no chance for short term success anyway, has a rookie coach, so just accept that and follow a 3 to 4 year plan. No single big money signing will suddenly take this club back into the CL. The team is rotten and has no core and thinking you can fix it by adding one 50 or 70m player is a fallacy, imo. The goal should be mid to longterm development of a completely new team built around those solid and talented enough already at Arsenal.
