People on the Caf were saying he'd walk into the United team not long ago.
Nothing special. People were also saying that Gabriel they got was meant to be a good defender, what's he done at Arse? Nothing.
Would be a good player in a more defensive side. Don’t think he suits Arsenal at all.
Was extremely jealous at the start of the season when they signed him. Not so much anymore.
We were maniacs for letting him join Arsenal, apparently.
Poor man's Mctominay
Eh, people are being way too harsh. Him and Saka are the two main players in that side who could easily be playing a level higher. Possibly Tierney too, though he’s made of glass.
He's always been elevated on here to a status I've never quite understood. Partly by people who'd probably barely watched him, and also people not realising he was playing in a system at Atletico that suited him perfectly.
He's alright.
He's alright.
Every signing our rivals make is hyped up to shit on here. Every single summer.
'Can't believe we're not in for him.'
'We're gonna regret this.'
'They're not messing about.'
'That attack/midfield/defence is frightening/scary/terrifying.'
The long list of these players who end up bang average is quite remarkable.
Another decent player who was hyped up beyond all reason by a group of fans, who'd never really watched him before, because he plays in a position they'd identified we need a new signing for
Yeah this.
Absolutely wanked over on here wasn’t he, many screaming blue murder when he was allowed to join Arsenal.
There’s a reason why Arsenal at a free run at him.
I want to say something but maybe it would be fair to see him playing under a different manager.
I mean arsenal are 9th (just about)
And Arteta has them playing some of the worst football I've seen at that club
Even the boring 1 nil to the arsenal was better

He left Atletico for arsenal....
For the wages.
He and Thiago have not been as good as they've hyped up to be so far but let's not pretend like they aren't quality players
To be fair we’ve bought other players just as forgettable each time more often than not.
Really have to resist the urge to quote my own posts here.
I watched him plenty and he looked good. My brother and I are of the opinion that Simeones system hides the deficiencies of his defensive players. Parteys defensive inefficiencies shouldn't be a surprise but the let down for me is the ability on the ball. He doesn't show what I saw in La liga.
Dodged bullet, many here including me were convinced he was going to be great in EPL. How wrong we were.
Quoting myself. He really looks cumbersome at times, takes an extra touch and then plays a long ball. I preferred him at right back for Atletico for that brief period.
For the sake of the argument:
They were right about that, really.
Arsenal had also also a free run at Aubameyang.
How's that going?
Sorry mate couldn't resist.
Just a faster paced game in the PL and less time on the ball. It’s exposed him.
Fred looks decent compared to him.
For me he is up there with mangala as an incredibly expensive signing who is an absolutely trash pub player. 45m for him then send guendozi and torreira out on loan? Jesus. Edu doing wonders as dof there
To be fair every player at Arsenal looks shite under Arteta, they have some good players who would actually look good under a better manager.
Pretty much useless player.
Quite slow, not enthusiastic enough. Poor at dribbling. Not involved in one-two because he doesn't run forward after passing. He's focused on passing only and doesn't try anything outrageous. It isn't a bad thing but you expect more. A lazy player who passes the ball whenever he gets it and then doesn't run much after passing. Basically, he was happy with his new contract at Arsenal and stopped trying.
Many players are better than him. Ceballos supposedly was only available at 25 mil is more technically gifted on the ball and tries harder. Now they have a Ceballos who is on loan and playing 1 in 2 games, disrupting team play and understanding because the line up keep changing every week.
Also, a central midfielder absolutely need to know how to shoot and Partey isn't a very good shooter. Look at those winning clubs and their central midfielders usually are very lively, very involved in play and love to shoot. Look at Scholes, Lampard, Bruno, Gundogan vs players like Ozil who doesn't dare to shoot anymore. I think that even Fred, McTominay or Elneny are better players than Partey because they dare to shoot and can shoot decently well and willing to run more.

More defensive then Arsenal?
Fred is actually pretty decent.
He is out of form. On form he is top 3 in the world alongside Kimmich and Casemiro. Its just my opinion obviously (I'm a United fan).
I think his lack of form is more due to Arteta and his elite level of management rather than him being not good enough.
Just because he is performing like crap now doesn’t mean he would’ve been if we signed him, or that the people who wanted him signed at the time are wrong. So many hindsight 20/20 folks in here.
You’d think as United fans we’d be familiar with the concept of good or great players joining us and immediately turning to shit. Goodness knows we’ve seen enough of that over the past 8 years!

Sounds like all the talk about Sancho
Any good player will struggle in that team and with that manager.
I remember when the cafe used to go negative over some of our potential signings (Carrick for example) and they usually turned out to be very good players for us. And when the cafe cocks out for a potential signing (ADM, Sanchez), they don't do very well.
There's a lesson to be learnt here. Football fans know nothing when judging if a player is a good fit for the club will act like they know everything because they play some video game simulation or watch YouTube highlights or just a few games.
