Having Partey and El Neny in midfield is like playing chess but with one piece that will only move forward and one that can only move sideways.

Anyone know about Lyons actual financial situation? I heard they need to balance books, but when?

So you reckon we tried to get Aouar for the rumoured £35m, but if we failed, as we did, we would have stumped up the other £45m for Partey regardless? If so, we have money in the kitty left over... Will Lyon give in at the last moment?!!
Listen to Taylor.. Partey is the one we need. The strength, the balance, the technique- he is a key component for our midfield. Now we can head into big fixtures knowing we can scrap it out if required.
Parety in Midfield, Gabriel in defence... we're looking as close to the invincible as we ever have done.
THIS. IS. HUGE. (That's what she said.)

I heard they can make an early sale next May/June and they would be fine for FFP.

Let’s be real that release clause.... Partey is a 80M player, 100M in a non covid market after a good season. Atleti were desperate for this not to go through because they would have signed him to a new contract with a 250M release clause.We wanted both, but couldn't afford to activate the RC for Partey + pay 40m+ for Aouar.
We then tried various ways to get Partey with a player + cash deal, but they didn't want to negotiate.
We then went on to bid for Aouar, however it seems that he wanted to stay, and thus ultimately rejected us.
Which now means that we can afford paying Partey's RC, and thus leave Atleti firmly in the mud.

I know there was a couple of posh wankers on Couples Come Dine With Me who reeled off a list of African countries they'd visited. Pretty much all of them, by the sound of it. All to show off to a guy who hails from Africa...Come on now who visits 4 countries in Africa

Was meaning to make a post about how Torreira had to be one of the worst deals we had made in recent times, no obligation, low option to buy, their midfield is stacked so he may as well not play, they cucked us out of money to buy partey, etc.
But the club went on and ended up f*cking them over This is making me so irrationally happy

Never expected us to sign both Aouar and Partey, and was fearing the worst when the Auoar deal fell through, so I'm stoked that we are apparently on the verge of signing Thomas.
Was always the player I wanted us to sign from the start. Haven't seen much of Aouar aside from some YouTube clips, but I've followed Thomas, and he's been immense whenever I've watched Atleti play, and he's a big character who always seems to show up in the big occasions.
I'm confident he'll raise the level of our midfield a couple of levels and really give us a push for top 4. This window has been a rollercoaster ride as usual and could have been better, but seems like we've salvaged it a bit by signing a top player in a position of need. Absolutely buzzing.

Yeah, all this seems documented tbh. When you piece all the solid rumours together, it forms that story.We wanted both, but couldn't afford to activate the RC for Partey + pay 40m+ for Aouar.
We then tried various ways to get Partey with a player + cash deal, but they didn't want to negotiate.

I mean... if iwobi was worth 40 million precovid then sure.
Lyon bought 30M this summer and Sold 40M so they made only 10M profit they still need to big sales because they made 100M euros lose.
Ole putting on pressure to sign Dembele. Sp**s main CB deal dead. Look a mess.

The theory by AFCBell and others has been on the lines of always having money for the Partey RC, but saving for last to negotiate down Aouar and not show we had that big money for the Partey RC to hand. Yeah, we probably had something like 80-85m available to spend instead of 100m, so if Aulas was more flexible with installments, add-ons, etc. it would still be possible.
