Houssem Aouar

Would generally agree, but if a transfer ban does fall, then that might not be possible.

That's true but if the ban is January 2020 and Summer 2020, we could either do what Barca did with Suarez, buy him and have him train with us and wait until he can play, or do a deal with Lyon in the Summer that sees him move on 1/1/21 when the ban expires.

Possible, but that might mean us not seeing the best of him until season 21-20.

We saw how depleted the engine room was after our CL exit, so it would only have been further stretched had we progressed in that competition, and with it looking like young loanees such as Garcia and Luiz are not returning, I’d be tempted to test Lyon’s resolve now.

We should put £45 million on the table and see what happens.

Depends how big the table is, but I reckon some of the money would fall off.

Who is Partey ?

Athletico's 3rd midfielder.

Athletico's 3rd midfielder.

Do atletico play with 3 defensive midfielders ?

Who is Partey ?

Thomas & not the Jerry 1

Do atletico play with 3 defensive midfielders ?

Not really. Rodrigo is the constant. Partey and Saul play multiple positions. Sometimes the midfield, sometimes fullback or in Partey's case as a sub off the bench.

I think folks just project that all 3 can be DMs as they've all played there at one time or the other.

This one is a cert in my opinion, completely under the radar, Pep and Tixi working their magic.
