I think he'd prefer London and the Champions League, no? I've seen people saying because he's bought a house on Tyneside, he's not leaving. We'll see, but after the past few windows, I trust Edu and Arteta to get someone in soon. If it's Bruno, the rest of the league might as well give up early. Rice. Guimaraes. Odegaad.

Finally, champions league winning, maybe, getting bounced in the last 16/8 every year probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was between you and Newcastle coming in to the league, I assume he'd choose you. But he's already there. He's already pretty close to a hero there, and like I say, he seems to genuinely love the club. And yeah if it's true I do think if that buying a house in April is a reasonably strong signal that he's not intending to leave in June.

Rorshach Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Ah. Derby day. So, today we have every chance of doing worse than we did in the I'm-still-convinced-it-never-happened-match against Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) 3 hours ago, polishgenius said: It's gonna be a little tricky- a few years ago players of his profile, who'd slot in comfortably next to Rice, were fairly common, but nowadays players with that kind of passing tend to operate a bit further forward, which gives up defensive solidity (or, in your specific case, would put more of that 'staying-put' work on Rice). It's why Newcastle's deep-lying midfielders are a converted CAM and a converfted striker, and why we're struggling so much to refit our midfield. I'm sure you can find someone- and it's probably a little easier in your case coz even if the plan is to punt Partey straight out the rest of your midfield is solid enough you can probably give yourselves time to bring a player up to speed. But no-one directly springs to mind. Well, apart from Guimaraes but I don't think you're getting him. I hear you. I don’t have a good answer either but man, it’s a need. Thought Rice did a lot more carrying forward this game than he has done and that is really useful (see Trossards first goal). I also think Partey reads the game super well so when he intercepts, he immediately looks forward which is unique in this side. I don’t know what we do but we need a Partey replacement somehow. Makes us so much better. Wonder if it’s a spot Timber could play… Edited April 24 by Mexal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Thinking about it, Cheick Doucoure at Palace might be an answer. Though I think more likely if you don't get Bruno G you'll probably look out of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a carbon copy of Partey's style but he's got a good passing range and is very good at making interceptions in the opposition half. Is solid defensively as well so would allow Rice to play more box-to-box. Edited April 24 by Consigliere Mexal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
