Man U reaction and player ratings

[selassie]

Ideally, maybe.

But it's really not that straightforward, is it? There's a reason Partey was 50m player and is on 200k per week. Replacing that takes the same again, thereabouts, and clubs like arsenal can't "rotate" that level of expendicture. You know this, so not really sure why you're posting this, tbh.

Apparently he was pretty resilient at Madrid. Weird he's had these issues. Someone like Tierney was predictable, given his history. They must think Partey has just been unlucky, but I'm speculating, clearly.

We were prepared to spend 50m on Raphinha with presumably the same kind of wage per week as say Partey. The money was available for that kind of signing this summer and it should have been made in Central Midfield.

As it stands Partey is only of half use to us, he spends far too much time out injured, he is not reliable and not a solid option, that is a fact. Whether he was resilient at Madrid means nothing now because he is unreliable at Arsenal.
