I would not be at all against Thomas Partey. Never thought of him since Atletico seem to always have ridiculous release clauses so just assumed he had one as well.

Apparently his clause is actually just 50m not 80m as was reported in the past
Saul is more of a CM/no.8 that can play in different forward positions, he's more versatile. Like a younger Mata but he can also play as a holding mid
Partey is more of a MF destroyer

I see we entered full football manager mode
It’s so embarrassing
This thread is unreadable
“Yeah sell Pogba let’s just buy griezmann & a few more”
Grim
Indeed.
Cue United signing the overpaid,continually injured,ageing Gareth Bale in the summer.
Partey is an animal, I've literally seen opposition players bounce off of him, he's quick, can defend and is very versatile. However he should only be a viable replacement for Matic not a no8.
Partey would be amazing. A destroyer who can actually play a bit as well.
J. Felix, T. Partey, J. Sancho and W. Bissaka or T. Meunier.
I can live with that.
For CB, I'll close my eyes and whisper A. Tuanzebe will be like a new signing.

Embrace the muppet madness, this is a fun time of the year if you just don't take it all so seriously.
He looks quite technical for a destroyer. I like.
Wan-Bissaka's first name is Aaron.
Partey and Ndombele would transform our midfield.
His passing isn't good enough though - we need better passers in our midfield
Maybe there’s more than Wan Bissaka
I mean he's become a much better passer as of late especially his vertical/forward passing,he's had good vision to find passing lanes you'd think he couldn't.
His passing range has improved big time
His strength is still his defensive work/energy and right foot but I wouldn't say he's a weak passer at all
Ah ok. So City want Saul as DM to replace Fernandinho because he suits their system I assume.
Can Partey do the DM job on his own at United or would we need another defensively minded CM alongside?
We’re not really linked to Ndombele though I think?
Unfortunately not. Seems like he'll be Real or City bound.
He’s doing really well in my midfield for Dortmund partnered with Aouar... make of that what you will
I really like Partey. Ghanaian as well, so shouldn't have any problems adapting to the country.
Funny enough,Fernandinho used to play as a no.8 and occasionaly as a 10 for Shaktar as well before converting into the role he has now for them
. Saul would definitely be a great fit for their system as Pep doesn't utilize the traditional no.6/DM role and prefers more of a b2b type but I can't see Atleti being keen to sell one of their most important players.I think he's pretty capable of doing the job at DM on his own allowing another CM to deputize Pogba further up.
There haven't been any strong links from reliable reporters on Saul.
Ndombele looks far more likely for City - Sam Lee has said City have been following him for a while now and he's a target.
That would definitely explain his reported interest in wanting to play in England, Nigerians/Ghanaians would be much more at home in the Premier League than in Spain
I reckon city will revamp their midfield. Wouldn’t be surprised to see 2 big midfield signings for them this summer.

Saul is rumoured to be unhappy with Simeone or vice versa. Also, Saul has recently changed to a British agency. I think the same guy that manages Bale's affairs.
Thomas speaks Spanish & has said numerous times he feels at home in Madrid. I think his interest to move stems from a lack of playing time & of course a potentially bigger payday.
Hector Herrera from Porto is out of contract this summer & reports say he's en route to Atleti. I think that means one of Koke, Rodrigo, Saul or Partey could be on the move. Hopefully to us!
Yes. Great player imho
No not really but that’s usually case with us. We get linked with a lot of players but then our signings usually come out of nowhere.
Not sure why I found both of these funny. But yeah - I’d be chuffed with Partey.
I like this rumour about Partey. I know nothing about the player which is why I like it. Reminds me of the good old days under Fergie where we were linked to lesser known names.
Sure it’s not Obi?
I've generally tried to contain my excitement for potential new signings but Partey would be an excellent addition, if there's a chance he wants to join us then we should go all out to sign him.
Thomas would be an excellent signing. A proper destroyer who would allow us to play a more creative partner with Pogs.
Who are Carrusel Deportivo? They are saying we are the ones that want Saul and not City.
Well we wanted him a few years back... I hope we still do
Partey, Meunier, Ndombele, Felix, Varane. I would be happy with any of those!
Zidane has come out and said he wants Varane at Real, so I am sure he will persuade him to stay.
Partey is a destroyer so might suit those that want Bruno Fernandes.
Ole has come out and said he wants Pogba to stay here but everyone seems afraid.
Unless Varane is worried he is going to get replaced. Pogba it is his bloody agent and it is his bloody agent every summer. I do think Paul will go sometime. Juventus was used as a stepping stone, for all they win things, we are the bigger world club. He might see Real as the finishing line.
It’s gonna be some summer!!
