He was brilliant last season, selling him was a huge mistake. Happy he's still smashing it

Don't think it was a mistake to sell him. He was amazing but he was limited. He would eventually need to be replaced by someone better. The issue so far has been that the replacement Kai Havertz has been very underwhelming and Partey has been injured.

He was more a sign of how well we were playing than a cause of it. He’d get a goal or assist in games we played well, but he was never carrying the team or the best player on any day.

Selling him wasnt a mistake... buying Kai to replace him was

He wanted to leave and we respected that, what good is keeping a player against their will going to do?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Wasn't it mutual? Sure we could've convinced him to stay if we weren't looking to bring in havertz

They sold him because he wanted to leave. I doubt Arsenal had any plans to move on from him if he was happy staying in London.
