If he had it , it will show ,naturally. Ndidi cant push a ball not because he was instructed against it but he dont have that skill set. You cant learn some of these things. Etebor is a good example ;the coaches want to convert a left forward into a CM/DM. Like playing Nacho as a top 9. It won't work.

So , can fit into an old-fashioned DM but because he was a defender but he will fail in the duties of a CM

And if he pushes the ball forward, exposing the defence and somehow the opposing team scores. As the coach , how will you react?
Bro, in football, your BASIC responsibility is the most important, any other things that follow are bonuses.
Now tell me how many goals,assists,chances,long passes,through passes can be attributed to Mascherano, Makelele,Busquet and Casemiro? Ndidi is just 23 and he is ALMOST on par with these guys. Bro,inasmuch as Ndidi is doing the basic which is protecting the defence, which he does efficiently and effectively, I don't think you should have any issue with that.

Out of how many?

Danielnino00:
Bro,u don't have to be so diplomatic...say the truth as it is... Arsenal are bigger than Atletico!
Atletico are better yes...they can beat arsenal yes...
But we are talking about the clubs as a whole and everything that defines it!

Football is business and every football club is a brand!!

Ok. .putting all parameters under consideration, Arsenal is certainly bigger.

BTW this is how Partey compares with two of arsenal MFs, Dani and Xhaka.

Cc.mostob

I understand the style and tactics angle but you can't give what you don't have. Ndidi lacks some quality partey possesses.

And Partey lacks some qualities Ndidi possesses. For someone that was converted from CB to DM, Ndidi might not show his attacking prowess now but that does not mean he is lacking in that department.

Partey vs Dani vs Xhaka

Edopesin:
So Arsenal bigger than Atletico no be mouth making

Well, it is debatable. Both clubs are bigger than theirselves using different parameters. I think Atletico edges arsenal slightly on the trophies won in the last 10 years. But talking about money,pedigree,squad,i think arsenal is ahead. All in all,i will say both are on par.
BTW,those who took up this argument are not arsenal fans nah.

Edopesin:
Na Arsenal suppose raise hand abi even Sevilla beat Liverpool back to back but will never put themselves in the same sentence as Liverpool

The thing be say una be small club and u dey drag matter with dem big boys. You sef notice say we arsenal fans no dey make mouth. Lol

Danielnino00:
E go sweet me..

But if Algeria score another one,wahala go dy...

Algeria no fit score another, Akpeyi no go dey post this time around.

Ok...On Ndidi,
Some folks here should know that what the coach/team demand will affect how a player plays. For instance, if Barca, a team known with passes and Passings, should sign Ndidi today, we all will discover another aspect of Ndidi's game we might never see at leceister.
It is just a matter of what your team demand from you.

Leave me and edopesin

Danielnino00:
Well, I will prefer Iheanacho to start.. He can drop deep and hustle for the ball too..
I just hope Kalu and Chukwueze will have their scoring boots on..no be to dy dribble alone o..

With Kalu and Iheanacho starting,we might have a better chance at scoring set pieces...
God forbid that Mahrez should score another free kick tommorow

Na that set piece got me. I'll be happy if we can get one in tomorrow, then Algerians go know sey naija Sabi troll.

andrewbaba44:
Yes auba is a cool dude and if he signs a new deal he will earn more than partey

Partey is arsenal highest earner on the field of play and person Dey tell me the caliber of players wey Dey arsenal

Say partey fit go Liverpool or city go earn pass de Bruyne salah and co

You know,players' wages doesn't necessarily mean. You sef use Man u as a case study. Imagine how much Magiwaya, Degea and Pogba dey earn.

Edopesin:
Arsenal and Atletico in the same sentence

Arsenal na the ekuke for the matter, small team from London

Seriously, the same team you no fit beat in two consecutive finals? Dem dey call better teams, Chelsea too dey raise hand.

andrewbaba44:
Chelsea is better than atm
But Atm is better than arsenal
But Sevilla is better than Chelsea if we are also to go by the trophies
E shock you

Seriously ?

andrewbaba44:
Auba fit vex o

Now partey go earn higher than auba

Anyway partey is a very good signing but arsenal should always remember that auba is the Lionel Messi there

But it’s so funny they Ozil earns more doing nothing

vex? I don't think so. Infact,he told the management to improve the squad before he sign his new contract. So I don't think he will be angry about Partey earning than him. Naturally, he is a cool dude.

As for Ozil, that man na lowkey Yahoo man

daveP:
As many coaches are now having the luxury of being heard from the touchline, the effects are immense. But still yet. Ole is just sitting like say na restaurant hin dey. Cant he shout at his boiz....?


Oh he's no tactician or game reader. Just a caretaker. Smh.


Arteta and Pep with the shouting. I love it. I wish he shouted more at Elneny.

Apart from shouting, hope you know Pep is a badass choreographer? Dude will be performing some ridiculous breeakdance on the touchline .
Simeone na boss for that aspect too.

Danielnino00:
Abeg,we don't want a "cross and inshAllah" style of play tomorrow...
We want fluid,easy flowing attacking football..
Dessers or Iheanacho should start... If Onuachu is going to be waiting for wingers to deliver crosses before he can score,then it won't be good for us..
He can come in the second half..

Yea...you know we can actually have both. I don't know about Paul's link up play.
Iwobi,Samu and Kalu will create attack overloads with Sanusi and Ebuehi providing the width. Agu and Frank will cover all the loopholes at the back. It all depend on the tactic employed.

temi1290:
Same Onuachu wey dey bench Dessers for the same team

You have to consider team chemistry before choosing your team. Onuachu cannot thrive with Kalu and Samu flanking him. UNLESS Rohr wanna go the liverpool way by instructing both FBs to overlap and whip in crosses.

andrewbaba44:
Got ya
But is he earning higher than auba

Yea. . Just 10k more

andrewbaba44:
Koke plays for ATM bro and is Better then Saul and partey ,but partey is better than Saul

Thomas partey is not even earning 50k weekly at atm so what are you saying ?

He should be earning 80 to 100k now at arsenal ,I will check sha

he will earn 260k

smartsmith0907:
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)

Ok. .i will just be observing.

12large1:
This ndidi case sef, I don give up. Its very insulting that Arsenal signed Partey before Ndidi not because of ghana vs Nigeria Rivalry but because of how people claim Ndidi is talented. Its eithee that he isn't good as proclaimed or he has a bad agent. Thunder go faya anyone that start posting ndidi is the beat ball winner again after this season

They have different playing pattern. And Arteta will probably use Partey as a B2B

tbaba1234:
Okoye Ebuehi Zaidu Ekong Akpoguma Agu Onyeka Iwobi Kalu Chukwueze Onuachu
That's my starting line up.

Alampasu for Okoye
Dessers for Onuachu

With all these reports flying around,Maduka better be serious else all those months of liking and commenting on NFF posts will go to waste o.
And somebody should tell Yakubu. .all these sweeping,swimming,mopping,keeping na bonus. His safe hands is what we want.

iamoyindamola:
I know it's not partey's fault
I'm blaming arsenal here, the money was there all this why didn't they pay since until last day

ok. .no mind them.

I hope atletico never swear for arsenal like this, the whole partey transfer was more than we heard.
This club have a lot of unprofessional idiots no regards what so ever
O wrong nau
To think we were insulting Kos when he did the same thing

No be Partey fault na. Arsenal was demanding negotiation all this while but ATM was doing shakara.

BlueRayDick:
@ Jodera, Mostob This is what I was talking about yesterday. Partey definitely moved for greener pastures and greener bank account Who no like better thing

of course. I read the BBC article above and understand he was underpaid.

BlueRayDick:
Ozil is still with us because he's an Arsenal player under contract. Ozil is a very controversial figure who would dabble into politics, religion and other sensitive matters to the chagrin of his employers.

Ozil's wages wouldn't have been a problem if he was a less controversial figure who does his talking with his game play on the pitch and leaves both the fan and management happy.

If Partey would follow Ozil's way then it would mean he would have to be as controversial as ozil has ever been

ok

BlueRayDick:
Let me give u analogy.

A young guy who is in his early thirties and works as a financial analyst with let's say an investment bank is somewhere minding his business, gaining more experience and writing CFA exams with the little stipends he gets as salary.

He finally paases CFA level III exams, he now holds a CFA charter and his company is planning on promoting him.....While they are doing this, a bigger company has seen his profile update on LinkedIn that he holds a CFA charter and has hands-on experience so they poach him with a pay that is almost times 10 of his current pay.

Are u going to say the new company is not wise to him like times 3 of his current salary instead of the times 10 they offered him?


What I'm trying to say is this ; When Partey negotiated the current pay he had at Athletico he wasn't the key player he is now today, a lot has changed. He has grown from just that Ghana boy that plays for Athletico to a key player that has attracted the interests of top clubs in Europe. In other words his value had increased. This was what necessitated Arsenal giving him an offer he couldn't pass even for loyalty sake.

Ok... it is well understood.

Ok sha...you have a point

BlueRayDick:
Which future resale again? We just signed a 27 year old on a 4/5 years contract. By the end of the contract he will be above 30 what future resale are we talking about here?

Any other player that wants to seek new contract will definitely negotiate based on their performance among other factors. Bellerin or Maitland Niles no go wake up one day say they must collect Partey's salary na. There are levels to these things

I'm actually putting the Ozil situation into context here. One of the reason he is still with us is that no team can afford his wage. He have no problem taking a pay cut but Baba want the money more than anything else.
Now back to Partey, what if he follows the Ozil way?
