Thomas Partey

[AbouCuéllar]

That'd actually be a decent midfield tbf - if Guendouzi learned how to defend.

If Jeff gets fit and continues the level he was showing I'd like him back at Arsenal, tbh.

 

[Hunta]

He was immense

Like Rooney he suffers from peaking earlier in his career, people think De Bruyne and Silva are/were better players.

 

[dashsnow17]

Spaniards are the most racist people you’ll ever meet.

Haha you have not been to Russia, have you.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Good news that orny give us updates about Partey he always ready to give us depressing update if we not making progress in deals

 

[Sanchez11]

Are we paying up or not?

De Bruyne is comparable, Silva not really even though he is class in his own right.

It's true that we're a very racist people on the whole but there's really no need to stereotype an entire country like this, no? And this comment isn't even true, as you go further south into North Africa or into South America you'll find much more racist peoples than us.

Anyways, in terms of the relevance to the discussion, Atlético has a culture of welcoming dark-skinned South American players--it's why in spanish they are called 'indios' or 'colchoneros'--and it is a culture that in general is hating of the (small also nowadays, but still associated) Madridista ultra sur franquista/neo-nazi groups, so I really don't think this is relevant to the discussion at all.

Anyways, Madrid is a big cosmopolitan city, trust me that we are discussing gender pronouns, feminism, the portrayal/existence of dark skinned actors in film as much as anyone, actually we're just as obsessed with these things as any people in any big city in the world (maybe except NY?). So yeah, if you want to say this about the people from small towns of our country be my guest because it's more or less true, but in a discussion about Atlético *de Madrid* it's really out of place. Thomas is loved by Atléticos because he's a canterano--academy player. His skin colour doesn't come into play.

Where abouts in Spain you from. I live up North.

From Madrid. Where in the north? It's big haha (and lovely).

 

[krengon]

Linking up with Jeff at Lyon next season.

Jeff is going to be a star.. Starting to show what I was expecting from him early.

Asturias. Close to Gijon. Went to the Atletico v Arsenal match few years back in Wanda. Very impressive stadium and atmosphere.

Go to Madrid once or twice a year as other half has family there.

Have a friend works in the famous churros place up the little street beside the big nightclub there. Think the nightclub is called Joy cant remember was in it once but not for too long.

 

[AbouCuéllar]

Asturias. Close to Gijon.

Very nice! Asturias is beautiful, just have to do a lot of exercise to offset the fabadas and delicious asturian food . Or not.

If you're talking about Joy the churrería is probably San Ginés? That's the really classic/famous one right there in the centre near Joy.

 

[Ashybashy86]

Ok then. Let's do Aouror

FFS, you're really taking this Lion thing too far.

Can y'all teach me spanish ?

 

[KrissKringle]

What are you takes on Partey’s fit here btw @Rex Banter ?

Is he a world class player, worth us paying the release clause? Would he transform our midfield? And what do you make of Ted Knutson’s criticisms?

If he's world class, he wouldn't come here and he'd stay at Atletico or go to one of the other top clubs.

Sí, y sirve que corriges mi inglés y lo perfecciono

He's been at Atletico for 7 years, he may want a new challenge

If Arsenal is his challenge, then he's a masochist.

Te va a ir mejor con este, @MD3 Gunner , yo te iba a decir que mi respuesta sería similar a la del Atléti al Arsenal por Thomas: depende si pagas lo suficiente

De dónde eres tú, yorch?

I think KDB is better personally, but that is only my opinion and recency bias does help!

I'm never really sure about Cesc, because that Barca stint in the middle of his career was a bit odd.

Such a shame he did not stay with us and become a gunners legend.
