I think selling Partey when the options are Rice and Jorginho would be a terrible mistake. I also think what Partey brings to the team is a lot more valuable than our fanbase cares to admit and I can understand with the off field issues. But honestly, we need to adequately and efficiently replace him before we can even start to entertain the idea of a sale. The question is with who? If you say Rice then we still need to buy an adequate replacement for Jorghino before we can sell Partey.
No one doubts what he bring BUT he is rarely ever available when we need him. What’s the point of all this “quality” when he’s making starter level wages on the bench for key periods of the season? He is Mr unreliable.
You’re hanging on to an imagination. Amazing amazing player WHEN he plays, but we need available and he’s turning 31, best time to cash in.
I don’t think you understand. I am saying, if we had sold Partey in the summer and the only people we brought in mid is rice and havertz, it would have been a mistake. If we sell him in Jan and our mid options are Rice and Jorginho, it will be a mistake. It will not be easy to find a person who can replace his quality but we need to do that before we sell him, before that happens we will have to get by with playing him when he is fit.
