Agreed. Those that say he didn't do anything today clearly weren't paying attention. He was at the centre of everything they did today. His play before his through ball was great too.
Baffles me how Newcastle got a clean run at him.
Sort of works out for everyone because apparently Arsenal were sniffing around him, on paper a Bruno G and Partey midfield sounds absolutely filthy.
I'm more than happy with our eventual choice in that position but our midfield was crying out for a player like him when Newcastle got him.
In fairness it seems every top 6 club missed a trick on him. Suppose Enzo Fernandez is a pretty damn decent alternative.
Still frustrated at missing out on him. He just a great all round player, equally as good on the defensive side as he is on the ball, and he's a tough wee fecker. Would still love to know why we didn't decide to make a move on him.
Rolled back onto the pitch as well. Hilarious
That’s actually a tactic some young players use at trials with clubs. Make yourself stand out and be unique so everything you do on the pitch stands out to scouts etc. Only drawback would be the bad stuff sticking in the head as well
Makes sense. Presumably something Hannibal and Chong were aware of.
Agreed. He’s decent enough, though poor yesterday, but no chance does he walk into the United XI.
If he's at United he starts in my opinon
100% him and Casemiro would be a formidable partnership.
To be honest, I think he makes his way into every XI in the league in my opinion.
They'd never sell to us
God knows what he's actually earning. He seems to be officially on €120k per week but given the way City are rumoured to operate, it wouldn't surprise me if Newcastle are also doing some off the book salary supplements for players like him because I cannot fathom how someone of his calibre chose to go to Newcastle when he moved to them when he would be wouldn't look out of place in any team in world football.
Basically because I don't think he had any offers to join any other teams. The closest team he was linked to was Arsenal (was even mentioned in his welcome video) but I don't think we even got as far as making an official offer.
Yes I too hate players who…..get upset when they lose a cup final?
You prefer players that smile and laugh after losing a cup final?What dicks eh! Mentality is a squad trait up to a point as well. Considering the shit show of the past year and the turnaround to this season with so many players, I don't think you can say much more than most players are sheep not leaders.

He was. He was linked with all the top clubs before he joined Newcastle.
