Summer Transfer Shit and Everything Else

[Niall_Quinn]

You do know I already believed you when you’ve said that you don’t watch Arsenal much

You don't need to watch more than a few minutes to figure Partey. Had plenty like him before. The idea Rice is a downgrade is incomprehensible. Record transfer fee to downgrade a star who is being shown the exit? Doesn't make sense to me, but maybe insiders who chat regularly with Arteta know the real story.

Crikey you’re as bad as the Scotsman with his Saka bollocks

Actually yes you probably do need to watch a player for more than a few minutes to gain a reasonable appraisal of what they do. And given some of the absolute dross we’ve had in midfield, I’d say Partey was a significant step up from that.

This is not to say that we can’t do better than Partey, it’s just not with Rice

The irony is there was talk of City offering Kalvin Phillips to City as a player plus cash exchange…when Phillips is clearly a better player than Rice (and he’s not that great either)

Partey is a very good player, but injury prone, and has a fucking legal case against him looming like he loomed over some tart on holiday.

He’s 30 with baggage. Get rid.

Is Rice the man? Dunno…but you live by the sword and chuck yourself under a bus by it, so Edu and Tets best be right or we’re all pissed off.

We’ll all be pissed off and Tets will be out of a job.

Just fuck up, man.

I never really liked or rated Guendozi, but it seemed the whole world did and I was pretty shocked how fast that situation degenerated, after really only what, one public display of unprofessionalism.

I'm with you on this, I do think he is inconsistent with how he deals with players drama (a given when you are managing human beings), especially when you are coming from having a level headed AW for such a long time that was able to manage all manners of egos in the team until of course they wanted to eff off and actually win something or double their wages. I mean can you imagine how Arteta would have managed Adebayor....thinking about it is even making me laugh while I'm typing.

Age and being sacked a few times will probably improve his people skills ...but unfortunately we probably won't see a fast enough development on that while he's with us.

Gendouzi was shite, man. I couldn't believe the acclaim he was getting for basically running around a lot.

We played Gendouzi, Xhaka and Elneny against Liverpool one game, ffs. Was soul destroying, man. Yet we have some fuckin melt on here saying Partey is the worst midfielder to play for the club

[Mac76]

Man United agreed deal with Chelsea to sign Mason Mount. Dont get me wrong, Havertz really wouldn’t have been a signing I’d have made but I’m glad Mason Mount was just a rumour. Even the Chelsea fans think he’s shit

He's also a total arsehole, say what you like abiut Havertz as a player but he seems an ok geezer at least

Guendouzi turned around that home game against Villa on his own, we need more players like that who turn up amd give it a go

[Marc Overmars]

Guendouzi was ok but that was against a backdrop of absolute shit. I’ve never been more disillusioned by an Arsenal squad than that in my life. The game was up for most of them after that unforgivable Europa League final disaster.

The quality was so low around that time anyone who put in a modicum of effort would have stood out. Anyway by all accounts he’s a dick so no qualms there towards Arteta for getting rid.

Not personally acquainted with him
