Jodera:

The difference between Zinny and Caicedo/Partey was that Zinny was primarily played as a fullback throughout his stay at Man city while those two was just deployed due to injury to the said player in that position or emergency. It's just like Xhaka who we few times played as a FB.
No dey ever use Zinny as example with them abeg!
When we bought Zinny, every Tom dick and harry knows that he'll come to play Lb and not Midfield.

It would be gross foolishness to buy one of the best CMs in the league just to deploy him as a fullback (whether quasi or not) because of tactical flexibility nonsense

You can call it nonsense but if it's going to win us the league, then it's sense.

I have always said that Zinchenko role is a midfield one and not a FB one. The same will apply to Caicedo if at all we sign him.

I won’t even hide my fear, this midfield trio looks really really soft.

I had to go back and watch some clips of Rice and it’s looking like Rice is a downgrade to Partey if he’s going to be tasked to play Partey’s role. I fear all those teams wey dey like bully person for midfield like last season’s Newcastle

Rice may actually fit that Partey role, I think the absence of a black man is what is creating fear in you If you see Lavia nko??

Maddison joins Tottenham .

Everybody just dey man-up ahead of next season

Black man? Not at all.

U know there are some players that u will sign and u will get excited because u’ve seen what they can actually do in that role. Look at DM like Casemiro , u know what he can do in that role.

It doesn’t necessarily has to do with being a black man or white man.

Shegzdave:

Absolutely

We shouldn't sell Partey. Jorginho should go and Romeo should replace him. I don't think Rice can offer the physicality of Partey.

You’re right though, but personally I’m always relaxed seeing a black an playing that role sha and it’s not about race, it’s just a preference..

I just hope Partey stays and we get Latvia too

What's the essence of throwing in a bid of same amount that another club has already done which was rejected even when the player already said that the first club is his choice.

If Mancity bidder a higher amount, it might make sense.


Well I'm not too sold on Rice.
I prefer Lavia or going all out for Caiceido .

After all he wanted to come to arsenal b4.

The issue of not playing in england is a media club stunt

Well, Man city might offer a better payment structure to West ham (we brought 75/15, while they brought 80/10), better salary to Rice and also the prestige of winning trophies. These alone might sway some players to change their minds and also the club also to change its mind.

Mehn, Tbh, I find it really difficult to believe that Man City didn't submit any bid sha

mostob:
If na another club, I for believe.
Westham just want to push up the price a bit.

Tohh, any how sha. We don get the player, I just hope he performs very very well

Bring Receipts where you said that Zinny role is a Midfield one and not an FB before he kicked ball for arsenal. I'll be waiting.

Even if we sell either of Partey or Jorginho, I still don't see us getting Lavia sha.

3 people struggling for one DM position?

As at now sef, one of Partey and Jorginho is at risk.

Everyone knows Rice is a downgrade on Partey but it's just because he's young and there's also a potential that he'll improve at least to be better than Partey. Partey himself don old and with him African age, we suppose dey expect any sharp decline from him anytime soon.

My fear na this Havertz for that midfield sha. But something is telling me that Arteta would probably want to use him as a CF for aerial threat and presence. Something we lack with GJ and Nketiah

Leave Rice out of the softness. The guy is anything but soft. Person wey chance Partey collect ball still use am create chance.

He may be harder than Partey self.

Jorginho and Partey has a year and two left on their contracts respectively. So I think we are using the opportunity to get a very good player for cheap for the future. Lavia is at the level of Camavinga. He will come for less than 50m.

seriously bro i find that story more hard to believe when I remember rodri is actually city's only dm aside injury prone kelvin Philips.

Rice playing for West Ham made more interceptions, tackles, forward passes, forward ball carrying, and created more chances than Partey last season.

The only player that did better is Rodri. He is by no means a downgrade to Partey.

Lol, that's not the receipt I'm talking about.
This is when it have already happened and we all know it.

I said BRING RECEIPTS WHERE YOU ALLUDED HE'S A MIDFIELDER BEFORE HE KICKED A BALL FOR ARSENAL?

I don't think rice is soft but then what do I know. I don't support the sale of partey, he needs to be there for now even if it's just one season.

Spy it's just like us buying Rice now and everyone is saying he'll be Partey or Xhaka replacement due to how he played in West Ham only for Arteta to start playing him as a CB.

You'll now turn around and say you knew he's a CB and not a DM when he was bought and you thought we'll swallow it?

So abeg bring receipts where you said so BEFORE Zinny kicked a ball for us

Spy360:

Jorginho and Partey has a year and two left on their contracts respectively. So I think we are using the opportunity to get a very good player for cheap for the future. Lavia is at the level of Camavinga. He will come for less than 50m.

If we can get Lavia then we need to dispose one at least.

Keeping Lavia, Rice, Jorginho and Partey is not healthy for Lavia at all.

If we get him, either we loan him out immediately so that he'll come here next season or we sell either of Partey or Jorginho
