Arsenal are continuing to be frustrated in their attempts to sign Thomas Partey despite talks progressing with Atletico Madrid over a deal for Lucas Torreira. : Gunners

Even if they don’t get Torreira at the end, it’s a win for them, because the’ll be making sure that we don’t have the funds to trigger Partey’s clause. All in all, we’ve been played by athletico, but i’m not gonna lie, it’s kind of an impressive dupe. I wish we had the abillity to do something similar, but here we are, unable to shift Kolasinac and Sokratis….

all in all, Arteta might have built something good on the pitch, but he can’t really do anything to improve the issue of shitty recruitment and decision making on the upper levels, which has been are woe for the past 15 years or so
