12large1: Tell yourself the truth, if you were a coach, would you pick Ndidi ahead of Partey?. Ndidi is just a tough-tackling CB masquerading as a DM. Please check Ndidi's performances for the SE and see what I mean. He can't create, can hardly hit accurate passes whether long or short, can't take good set pieces, and let's not even talk about his finishing/ shot accuracy. Partey on the other hand is everything Ndidi is and everything Ndidi is not. A true midfielder, he passes with vision, tackles, dribbles, takes brilliant set pieces and can score goals too. Add to that the fact that Partey can play various positions from AM, CM to DM and has even featured on the wings while Ndidi can only play CB and DM. So, tell me again why you would pick Ndidi ahead of Partey?. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Curtisaxel7: I agree. I'll pick Partey over Ndidi every day of the week. I think the limited midfield role he plays in Leceister has stagnated Ndidi's development and improvement of his abilities. In Genk, Ndidi was more daring, attempted dribbles, drove forward, tried long range shots & had more responsibilities in the team. The Ndidi in Leceister only tackles, wins the ball and passes it on. He's been turned into an effective but boring player. 2 Likes |

mostob: Onuachu will surely start of desser if we are to go by training ..he scored day before yesterday scored in two games yesterday too desser has not been able to hit the target though came close severally. in the drills very impressive especially in the shooting drills but when it comes to pratice he is silent as F**k same goes for nacho Alampasu has not really been outstanding like we all know okoye will start to boost his confidence..If we are going by performance then okiki will surely be start. Simon Moses also likely to start ahead of kalu( fitness wise) |

Curtisaxel7: Are you serious? Arsenal got Partey for £45m by meeting his release clause. Same can't be done for Ndidi. So don't make it look like Arsenal could just bid for Ndidi and chose Partey. Most clubs know they need a fortune for Ndidi. 6 Likes 1 Share |

TheGoodJoe:Tackling The pair are renowned for their strength in winning back possession or stopping opposition attacking midfielders but there was a chasm in both stars’ numbers last term. Unlike Partey, Ndidi was head and shoulders above many players for tackles made in the Premier League, with only Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka (138) attempting more tackles than the Nigeria star’s 125. The Leicester City man also won the second-highest tackles in the entire division with 76, behind only West Ham United’s Declan Rice. Partey, on the other hand, attempted 65 tackles throughout the season (29th in La Liga), winning 45 of his total, a 69.2 percent success rate. This was, interestingly, better than Ndidi’s who won 62.4 percent of his tackles. Interceptions & Blocks While the Atletico defensive midfielder ranked 12th in the Spanish top flight for interceptions with 52, his number was some way behind Ndidi’s 84, the top ranked Prem star in this category. The Leicester man didn’t have the most blocks in the division, but was still the Foxes’ top performer in this area, with 72, which placed him at 14th. Partey ranked 30th in La Liga for blocks made having stood in the path of a pass or shot 56 times. This was higher than all but two Atleti players – Saul Niguez and Renan Lodi. Passing In the previous campaign, Ndidi and Partey cemented their importance to their respective side’s build-up, which undoubtedly reflects in the numbers. The Leicester man attempted 1649 passes, with 1416 reaching its intended target, an 85.9 completion rate. Furthermore, 138 of the Super Eagle’s attempts were sent into the final third, fourth in the Leicester squad and 29th in the league, while 74 were termed progressive. The Ghanaian, on the other hand, outdid his West African counterpart in volume of passes made but was edged for attempts completed – 1704 and 1414 respectively. However, Partey played 179 passes into the final third and as well as 186 progressive passes, highest and third- highest in the Atleti side. Ball retention & press resistance Whilst eye test will be the true measure of how these two excellent defensive midfielders fare, some statistics put their ability or otherwise to retain the ball and beat the opposition’s press into context. Ndidi miscontrolled the ball 18 times last term and was dispossessed 26 times, 0.61 and 0.88 times per 90, compared to Partey’s 20 miscontrols and 15 dispossessions, 0.71 and 0.53 per 90 respectively. Even though the Nigerian rarely gives the ball away, the Ghana man fares even better, evidenced by the numbers. Interestingly, the Atletico Madrid man played the highest volume of passes when pressed by an opponent with 298, although his West African counterpart outdid the 27-year-old having played 306 passes under pressure by an opponent, which was fourth-highest for the Foxes. Duels This is probably the area featuring the greatest disparity in both players. Partey not only won this category but floored the Nigeria anchorman. The Spanish-based player won 64 percent of his total tussles in La Liga to Ndidi’s 56 percent in the Premier League, despite the latter’s greater involvement per game which read 8.1 to 6.4 total duels won pg in the former Genk star’s favour. A breakdown of their battles showed that Partey won 61 percent of his ground duels and an impressive 71 percent of aerial challenges. Contrast this with the 23-year-old Nigerian who won 57 percent of ground tussles and 55 percent for aerial duels, despite being slightly taller than the more experienced Atletico man. Again, the Foxes midfielder wins more duels in both categories per match, but the gap in success rate is pretty remarkable all the same. 5 Likes |

12large1: Personally I think thier style of play isn't similar. if there's any African player to compare Ndidi to based on style of play then it should be Idrissa Gueye and not Partey. I see Partey in the mould of and Ndombele or a Cissoko. Arsenal are not looking for another DM they've got that in Xhaka and Elneny. In Partey they've got an Pogba-esquee kind of player And for Arsenal fans we've been here before every year since 2017, Lacazete, Auba, Pepe and now Partey 1 Like |
