Assisting Partey at the double!
Our deadline day signing Thomas Partey has been shining on international duty which hopefully will bode well when we return to the long-awaited Premier League action this weekend.
Despite not getting on the scoresheet, Thomas Partey played more than his part as his Ghana team thrashed out a 5-1 win in a friendly game against Qatar on Monday. Bagging himself two assists along the way.
Of course we love it when our players do well on international duty, but it would be amazing if like Gabriel, Partey could be given the chance to make his debut against Manchester City.
Perhaps he could also come out of the blocks firing, and even if he doesn’t score then he can assist the team in bagging the three points against one of our top four rivals.
It would be nice if Partey could stake his claim in the team from the off, but again we would not be angry at him if it took him time to settle, as long as it doesn’t take him too long then I am sure all will be forgiven.
After all the hype and uproar about him, I am excited to see exactly what he will bring to our team, and how the dynamic will evolve and maybe even change. There is no doubting his ability of course, but in a new country, at a new club, and with new teammates and surroundings to familiarise yourself with, time will tell as to how Partey will fit in to our team.
But the best possible way to get going of course is to bag a couple of assists for your national team before joining up with your club for the season. Here’s hoping he can carry his international form over, in what will be an exciting debut game for both Thomas and for Arsenal, whenever it will happen, I am sure. Gooners?
Shenel Osman
Excellent player for Gunners, the nearest to our former legend Patrick.V.
Excellent player we are dreaming to get him for long we need our manager to line up him next game against city that is the game we can prove him how good is he
This waiting is like 1 year for me, please let him start against City
I hope Arteta doesn’t do what we see so often with new signings, with their first game on the bench. He HAS to start against City!
Unless he needs rest or time to settle in, he should walk into our starting midfield. Would love to see Dani and Thomas as the midfield pair with Xhaka sitting behind and firing lasers to our attackers.
I feel that without Partey starting, our chances are much slimmer with getting 3 points.
He was in Turkey,a country that is not listed among the Safe Corridor.He will have to self isolate
But i stand to be corrected
I think quarantine rules don’t apply to elite athletes who have been in their bubble and non of those in the bubble have tested positive.
I also stand to be corrected.
Actually I don’t know as Cavani has to quarantine for 2 weeks where as some players haven’t.
It’s all confusing. I’ve not seen anything saying TP needs to which you would expect everyone to jump on.
Neither have I, Dan. Charles Watts hasn’t even mentioned it, he’s itk with all things Arsenal… so I’m expecting to see him at the Etihad…
Cavani had been living in France and wasn’t part of an elite athlete bubble after leaving PSG…
👍 I totally forgot he was a free agent.
Finally…..loving the pictures of him in the famous red and white 👍
The face fits the shirt 👍
👌
Waiting for Saturday is like a kid waiting for Christmas day. I’ll be gutted if he doesn’t play.
Too right, Dan! I can’t see him not starting, few days training now, that’ll do! I heard KDB is a doubt.. he won’t face Iceland and has returned to City…
Do you not feel city talked to Belgium so as not to risk him because they have an upcoming game against arsenal that they don’t want to loose
I’ve just seen a tweet saying he *should* be fit to face us…
I’ve also seen that Southgate has rested Kane. Southgate said “England do not risk players” after Moaning Mourine asked international managers to protect his players.
Interesting….
