Getting better by the week. Mikel knows.

Need to get this Partey started though.

Glad we got the win but 2-1 against a bottom 3 club is a little concerning.

OK who had us finishing the week above Liverpool in the table?

Apologies if I offended anyone. After looking at where we dropped silly points last year, I only care about the points. How doesn't matter all that much at this point.

No, I was definitely agreeing with you. Especially as a LFC supporter who saw us get drubbed by Villa today.

Seeing some claims of Duezy to Hertha Berlin on loan. No loan fee, no buy option. Hertha covers 100% of his salary.

Seeing some links to Lemar as an Aouar alternative. Not sure if he is becoming our new Draxler or if this may be serious.

Watts just tweeted we're making a move for Partey

Wish we would look at Brozovic instead. He's a little younger and pushing for an exit from Inter because he doesn't fit Conte's system (uses a double pivot). He is at his best as the base #6 in a 3 man MF.

Lol, yeah I stopped by to say good game the other day and forgot to take it off my watchlist.

No idea really. Worst defensive showing in over two years. Not having Mane and Allison and Hendo hurt, but that doesn't really explain it fully. Guys looking ahead to break and bigger games maybe? Hopefully everyone will learn a good lesson from it but they should be embarrassed.

So now, you guys explain this:

We have reportedly told Atletico/La Liga/whoever that we are paying the release clause

There was some dude on reddit talking about how socialism would solve this and Gunnersaurus would keep his job lol.

He didn't like it when I said he should get the mascot half his salary.

I know this makes chjoak and myself happy if they pull it off. Partey is probably a bigger need than Aouar was, although there is still concerns with chance creations. We just really need someone that isn't gonna get run over in the midfield.

Sign Partey for 50m. Pull the plug on the Torreira loan and demand a sale or **** off since we know they have the money now. I'll build Edu a ****ing temple in my home if this happens.

I would prefer a younger #6 but I do really like Partey. Just would have rather we bought him 3-4 yrs ago. Would still be nice to pull off an Aouar type as well but I think we can get by. Need to get rid of a couple CBs today and maybe snag a young LB and then switch to a 4-3-3.

ST - Laca & Nketiah (Martinelli when he gets back)
W - PEA, Willian, Pepe, Saka, ESR (Martinelli when he gets back)
AM - Dani, AMN, Willian, Saka, ESR, Xhaka, Willock
DM - Partey, El Neny, Xhaka
CB - Gabi, Luiz, Holding, Mari, Saliba/Chambers/Mustafi
FB - Bellerin, Tierney, Cedric, AMN, New Guy
GK - Leno, Runarsson

My only thought is with the way this season has started, they're hoping a proven veteran like Partey can help get us that CL money and push the club up to where we want to go.

Sounds like Guendo to Germany is done and news has cooled off on Mustafi so he probably stays. We may move Sokratis still (hopefully) and Saliba could be loaned out.

I'm ready for Martinelli to come back from injury. Would love to see a front 3 of Martinelli-Auba-Pepe. I think the only time they started together last year was West Ham and all 3 scored.

That's my best guess. If it were my money I would be buying younger guys but it seems pretty obvious (Partey, WIllian, Luiz, etc...) that they think with a few properly placed vets we can make a push now and then rebuild while in a CL spot.

Quote:

Yeah. I have heard mixed info on fee/no fee but consistently heard no buy clause and Duezy will only have 1 yr left when he gets back so unless we can extend him that would put us in a bad spot trying to get a good return.

Quote:

Agreed. Looks like Lazio opted for a cheaper/younger option they were more familiar. Have seen some rumors of Saliba (Fulham & Newcastle) & Chambers (West Ham) being linked to loans to EPL squads.

Quote:

Looks like the Napoli deal may be stalled but I saw a link to Nice on Fri or Sat and recall hearing a couple weeks ago that there were 3-4 other teams asking about him. Think we find a way to get him off the books before the end of the day.

Can we get transfer funds for this?

Just read that we supposedly have loan offers from Italian clubs for both Mustafi & Sokratis.

Its just annoying that every other club can sell people, but they'll only take our players on cheap loans or for free. Shows how bad a job we did in overpaying players. Liverpool sold Brewster for like 23m with approximately 0 premier league minutes.

This actually makes a lot of sense in hindsight.

From what I have read we have notified Partey and La Liga. Atletico can go F themselves after they flat out refused to negotiate with us and then forced our hand in the Lucas loan deal. I agree with the suggestion above. Tell them the loan of Lucas is off the table and we will sell him or nothing. If I am not mistaken we can still sell/loan him to Italy even after the EPL deadline as long as the Italian one is open.

Fans ripping Atletico on the twitter comments. Several suggesting that we give them a courtesy call to tell them we are taking Partey and pulling the Torreira loan deal.
chjoak

Seeing claims that we have agreed a 4 yr deal with Partey

Also, Roma have reached out about a deal for Sokratis as their attempts to buy Chris Smalling have stalled out.

Gunnersaurus better return when the pandemic is over!
