    on one hand I agree about the Elneny thing, but I think that this season has shown once again why we need someone like him. How many players do you reckon would be willing to be fourth choice 6? Especially when we only play 1 half the time? Yet between Partey’s injury record, Rice’s versatility, and Arteta’s occasional use of double 6s, I think he’s a very useful player to have.

    Partey I do want to move on from, mostly for the legal cloud over him. Innocent until proven guilty and all that, but at the same time between his unreliability, his accusations, and his age, it’s probably time we got money for him.

        @Gingerrific @Astrealix love him and agree he’s a great squad guy but he doesn’t stay fit. Ideally we wouldn’t need to depend on him but in the case we need him he’s not available. Not ideal.

          He was great up until recently and honestly everyone is dealing with a huge wave of injuries right now and I think we are doing better than most in that regard. Havertz/Rice/Ode seem durable so I’m just hoping they can get through the season without any major injuries and then we need up their subs in the summer.
