Thomas Partey: Midfield Tank Engine

[blaze_of_glory]

Lads do we actually have a world class midfielder again?

Yes, Elneny came back in the summer. And then we signed Partey to help him out!

I was just about to post some Ted Knutson tweets slagging off the signing but the bellend has made his tweets private.

Ted say it'll be poor signing because he has no resale value

Watch it. Drink it in.

Please allah let this be the end of Xhaka starting at Arsenal

Think it was Redknapp who nailed my own thoughts. He isn't a 6 or an 8 or an offensive or defensive midfielder. He just doesn't sit in front of the back 4.

My own sentiments so far he is just a fantastic midfield player a throw back to the Vieira and Keanes where in a midfield 2 they had to be at least good in everything.

Tim Stillman too that little weasel

Good. Resale value is a pretty poor reason not to sign a player and sure we don't sell players anyway so why worry about it.

Superb display. He’s just excellent at everything. Because his physical attributes are so striking, you sometimes forget how fantastic his passing is. Those 30 yard diagonal switches were a thing of beauty. Also clipped a few cute passes with the outside of his foot.

The kind of midfield you want in your team in big games. Made Pogba look like a competition winner.

Everything he does is so effortless

 

[TakeChillPill]

Completely bossed a £200m midfield.

That nutmeg on Fred

Weren't some United fans saying Fred was better than him?

Got half way through and had to change my pants... Vieira-esque. He's a ****ing machine.

First actual one since Cazorla, who had kinda played the way @razörist said, seemed to be more than one of him on the pitch.

Cazorla pretty much made Coquelin's career, wouldn't put it Partey to make Elneny's.

That moment he took the ball down on his thigh, killed it with his studs, then caressed it forward to Saka using the outside of his foot - all without breaking stride, was utterly breathtaking.

 

[juice man]

Ya, he’s what we’ve needed for a very long time.

 

[Jasard]

Listening to Arsène on Tuesday Club he spoke about Vieira wanting to only move forward with the ball and that's what Partey reminds me of. Just want to go forward and make things happen.

That was a good interview

Yeah that stood out. Just an effortless chain of movements. He drives it low, shovels it, scoops it... The full array of ways from A to B with efficiency.

 

[Ciscoo]

Favourite moment was when Pogba dispossessed him and he just casually took it back. Loved his confidence there. He just looked completely unfazed

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

A complete midfielder and a boss. Nobody dared pass round him today and whadya know, we won. Partey time.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

To think we had to wait 12 grueling years to replace Gilberto. I'm happy that our patience has been greatly rewarded. Fantastic addition & a coup of a signing for us
