Thomas Partey

Where are you Stan Kroenke?

this may arguably be the simplest to complete. You simply pay the release clause and you agree the personal terms with the player.

Simeone Tuesday morning at the training ground:

 

[BenTal]

I don't want to be pessimistic but it is very unlikely to buy Thomas anymore. If we counted on selling to activate his release clause, then I think it might be too late now. We couldn't sell Sok, Torreria, Gendouzi, Mustafai. I know Sok and Torreria are very close to leave the club, but it has been ****ing too quiet so far.

 

[TakeChillPill]

Yep don't think it's happening.

 

[Penn_]

Not sure if both Aouar and Partey was ever a realistic option.

People really starting to flap, you love to see it.

Fair to say with only 5 days left it's pretty unrealistic now, especially since we haven't got Aouar tied down?

I understand the belief but it would have to be one hell of an operation to suddenly pull this out in 5 days I think.

Its happening, reason why they are haggling so much over Aouar & not to simply give Lyon the extra €10m is to leave as much as possible in case we need to trigger Partey's releases clause.

If Partey wasn't leaving he would have signed the contract extension Atletico gave him, but we've obviously offered him better terms and a better project and his profile will be higher playing for us. Atletico know he's gone, they are trying to hold out for full release clause but longer it goes the worse their position is as if we trigger it on the last day they have all that money & no time to spend it. Its damage limitation for Atletico know by gettign an agreeement with us over Torreira to ensure they are not short on players.

Its great we are bendign over clubs for once, rather than it happening to us.

Girls calm down this deal is Simple to make all we have to do is pay the release clause NOT HAGGLING...the haggling is what holds up deals...this deal can be made quick unlike dealing with Lyon as they can set whatever price they want realistic or not

it’s clear we have the desire to go for both as the money we haggling to safe paying Lyon will go towards Partey

Why when the groundworks already in place? This was always going to be the scenario. But the fact is Partey has a release clause that can be triggered at any point after we've done the Aouar deal. I won't stop believing that's what we'll do until the morning of deadline day itself.

Although I want Jorginho instead of Partey, there is part of me that wants us to sign Drinkwater instead for the OTT meltdown that would happen on AM.

I don't know man, just woke up feeling super anxious.

 

[razörist]

Lol people panicking, no backbone. Calma. Vinaigrette has got this.

 

[tap-in]

With Torreira still here and Partey still there without signing a new contract, I think we may end up with a player + cash deal. Just like the one AM said they would never accept!

Praying for Bellerin lifetime contract now.

If you watched the Amazon Prime series about Man City, you could see how complicated it can be to pay a RC in Spain especially during a weekend. Man City did it for Laporte and it was really tight to get the payment over to LaLiga offices/bank.

Hard to believe we'll be able to finalize Aouar, sell/loan 4 NHG players and get Partey within 3 days...

I really really hope you're right. Will have a toast on you, if it all goes well !

Can currently only see Aouar coming in.

No ones panicking yet

But the Torreira situation is the only thing giving this any weight right now.
