Intimidated by Arteta's Wardrobe.

Yes in the PL; surprised he didnt get a contract.Football intelligence, positioning, reading of the game, robustness, short passing, long passing, finishing, heading. Usain Bolt would have been the best player in the world in your logic.
Partey has been playing well even when AM was hyper critical of him.
Now we need Merino up to speed.
I think it would be a bad idea personally.If he can play 30 games this season I can see the club offering him a new deal.
With Jorginho definitely going, it’s going to be a big ask for the club to bringing in two replacements.

We have quite a large dataset on Partey, and this so far has looked like his most fit season yet. I think that’s pretty suspect, I link it to the fact he’s in the last year of his contract.
What will happen once he knows (consciously but even sub consciously) that he is in the clear (even more so than before), on his last big contract?
IMO being mentally on the beach = more injuries. Even if he is not consciously looking at it that way. These are athletes playing in the top 0.001%.
For me it would have to be a severely reduced contract to cover the risk of above.

Bad idea. Just enjoy him this season and move on.
It’s more of necessity than anything. Arteta want a new keeper, 2 defenders and if any money is left an attacker. Doubt we can afford a midfielderNever seen someone to blatantly up their game for a contract. Would not trust him to maintain form at all.
