Thomas Partey’s camp have informed Saudi Arabian suitors that he is not currently looking to make the move away from Europe. Juventus want to sign him and have held exploratory talks with his representatives. Arsenal would want a significant return if they were to sell.

      Personally hoping its the last. As much as I dislike Musk, Zuckerberg conquering the entirety of all social media is a much more terrifying concept.

        Same. Given why most of us are here, it should be pretty obvious why Threads should not be entertained as a source.

          I mean Benge is a valid source, it’s just a shame it’s coming from yet another billionaire’s plaything

          Doesn’t help that there’s a non-zero chance an editor went “What the fuck’s Mastodon? Go use that new Zuckerberg Twitter thingy instead”

      I was so confused about what you were talking about. Lol

      “There’s a lot of threads already on here. Is he sniffing the paint?”

      Then I saw the link and I realized hahaha. Sorry I’m slow.

    If Juve are the only European club interested then we’re not going to get a decent fee for him. Logical conclusion is that he’s staying. Shame, would have liked to get some extortionate fee for him and reinvested elsewhere.

    Offloading him for around 30+ mil is a possibility, but who would be Rice’s back up? If we get a player like Lavia, I’d be ok with Partey leaving. He has off the pitch issues and will be past 30. His distribution is miles better than Rice, but it wouldn’t be a downgrade if he leaves.
