Thomas Partey: Ghana Sign Da Ting

Back on topic from me, he’s a brilliant, brilliant player. I consistently maintained that Partey would have a transformative effect on us and be a better fit than Aouar. Partey is among the elite CMs.

 

I would like 3 of him in midfield please.

 

Mikel Arteta on Thomas Partey: "He looked really solid, really comfortable, and I think he held the midfield by himself in the second half when we were a little bit more open and took more chances, attacking spaces with some players."

"I think he was fantastic tonight and there is much more to come from him obviously.

 

This is why I'll never be mad at buying players 26+ they usually come in and perform straight away no 101 questions about their quality.

 

You’d be surprised what people will let go in those circles. It’s a small world they live in.

 

Th

I thought he was in second gear and quite conservative. There are levels to this guy. I love him.

 

Still interested to see how he'll preform with 3 man midfield he always been playing in 442 formation with A.Madrid

 

We should put him and Ceballos behind Saka in a 4231

He's wonderbar

 

Interesting. I was asking because that seems to be a common thing I hear of players who are both quite introverted and languid in style.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play any different, but you may be right.

Either way, massive signing.

 

Same. I’ve been waiting for us to use a 3 man midfield for about 7 years

Now we no longer need to accommodate a number 10, we’ve switched to a back 5

 

Put your cocks away - it's Rapid Wienna.

Partey's quality is undoubted though. So happy he plays for us.

-Bellerin---Luiz---Gabriel---Tierney-

I don't know about his personality and I wouldn't call his style languid but to explain, I don't think we'll see him go in to beast mode until our attacking play intensifies or his timid team mates are letting a game drift and he decides to take charge. His was a contained but still intense performance and you hope the whole team will match him and then increase their standards so we get back to playing a more enjoyable style of football.

 

Watching Partey in this game gave me a Rapid Wienna.

 

Seems like he's had a pretty strong impact so far. Yay!

 

This guy has zero confidence

 

Brother where have you been? I hope you not been chasing all the sexy aunties!

 

delighted to see he is no shrinking violet

 

He is like a three man midfield

 

Bro! Went away for a bit to focus on the semester finals. That went really well fortunately but kind of got entangled in a bunch of stuff. Not sexy aunties but one slightly weird attraction I can't say and a couple of girls who got in trouble with the UNI faculty fortunately before things got out of hand on my end. With the situation in the country it seems better to lay low for now and focus on other stuff.

Came around here a bit to check if we got Aouar but Partey seems like is proving to be a coup. Looking at the table though and reading the comments in Arteta thread we ain't getting much joy still. That's the case for all the others as well I guess.
