Yeah wouldn’t surprise me if he does that for Ghana, similar to how Alaba plays CM for Austria. Obi Mikel used to play 10 for Nigeria and so on…I've seen clips of him for Ghana and it looks like he does that for them but I'm not sure if that's totally accurate. I'm sure there was stories from our friends at The Athletic that he'd came here to do that as well but yeah that's not his game. Definitely way more Gilberto than Vieira.
Partey is better than all our no8 options but we are trying to get to the level of teams who have players like him at DM and better ball players at the 8. It will work for now but it won’t work if we are actually trying to go places.
