i’d rather partey leave and we keep jorgi as a leader and capable backup, with the assumption we are definitely re-inforcing the position next summer.
Both need to go
I think they should both go. Partey is too unreliable with his fitness and I can already see Jorginhos age catching up on him, thats not something that will get better over the next 18 months. We need to be able to see problems like that coming and act before they are upon us.
Given how unreliable Partey is, would rather we extend him as he has the experience and leadership qualities that would greatly help our team.
How is Partey unreliable? He’s had some injuries this season, but any player can get injured. He hasn’t been notably injury prone otherwise, has he?
These people are lunatics. Partey played 2500 minutes over 33 appearances in the PL last year and now they label our star player as so injury prone they’d keep Jorginho over him.
What in the ever living fuck makes people so confidently misinformed.
They want him gone bc of his potential off field issues and are scapegoating him and his footballing abilities because of it. Zinchenko, Jesus, smith rowe all way more injury prone but you won’t hear a thing about that
You won’t hear a thing about Smith Rowe being injury prone? What fucking planet do you live on lad
I’m very much in doubt, I would like to return but I don’t know when the right time would be. I want to return yes, but I don’t know when, I feel I still have things to do at Arsenal.
misleading title
Yeah, if anything it sounds like he’s trying to deflect from the idea of returning to Italy at the end of the season
no
I would definitely want to keep him if the rumors of Partey leaving is true. He’s been another great addition to our squad. been really good on and off the pitch.
I feel a lot of fans has been quite harsh on him ever since that mistake againts Spurs.
We can’t afford to lose both Partey and Jorginho, the former of which I think has had his time run out given the off the pitch issues and inability to stay fit be on the pitch.
I would give him another year with an option for both to extend for another, he’s a great squad player and provides valuable experience as well as obvious leadership qualities.
We absolutely need at least one other body in the midfield as Partey is just a walking sicknote at this rate but losing what Jorg provides us would cost more than what we pay him every week so in the short term it makes sense to renew.
He’s 32 next month and I think he can carry on in his current role for another 2 years at most.
Jorginho is a really solid guy. I would like him to stay at least for one more year.
IMHO he is our best transfer from Chelsea.
I’d argue the only good transfer from Chelsea
I don’t mind extending him for a year, he is still quality and a great mentor in the dressing room
I’d be happy to have him come back as long as we still bring in another midfielder
I don’t want him to be a nailed on starter, but he’s a good depth piece.
Prefer to keep him as I would priortise replacing Elneny and Partey.
I would rather sell Partey and keep Jorginho. Elneny will leave too.
I will say extend him and let Eleny walk away. That dude contributed nothing. Use the salary gap of eleny to fill up this role, something like a MLE or vet max for such roles
I somehow feel Arteta saw himself late in his career as a player in Jorginho - read the match well, high awareness about positioning, good leadership, but not physical enough to win tough battles in the Premier League.
