In The Winchester, Waiting For This To Blow Over
Country: Northern Ireland
Player:Gabriel
Or it could be more the case of let's go to Arsenal a team in decline who really dont look like doing anything anytime soon,I will get to live in London and they will pay me 3 times the amount I get playing for a CL team where i am.
Van Dijk went to Liverpool with them very close to challenging. RVP went to United knowing he was basically the missing piece of the puzzle to challenge. Partey wouldn't be stupid enough to think that he would make Arsenal top 4 on his own.
He knows we would need about 3 other top player which we dont have the money for. He also knows Auba will probably leave.
To me it has financial gain and a lifestyle change over actually winning things.
If he wants the smart move, I agree he should go to a team better than us, a team better than Atletico actually.
Some players don't play football just for the trophies, if he is an Arsenal fan, maybe it's more important to him to try and help us get back on track than say winning numerous trophies with a team like City...don't think it would be just to collect his wage and enjoy an easy life too, if I was a player I know being a fan how hard it would be to turn down the club I love, this could be his last chance to play for us.
Let's see what happens.
