If only he could shine against EPL defenses.

Dont think we were ever truly interested. Think we did scout him but the rumors of us negotiating were agents using us to get a move or contract extension.

Telegraph reporting that a North London international player in his late 20s has been arrested today on accusation of rape.

Lots of wild speculation at the moment, but the Twittersphere is saying Partey. Hopefully just bollocks and some Twitter dorks pretending to be itks.

Not that this matters but did the just recently convert to Islam?

Yep, converted in March this year reportedly for his muslim wife

A lot of people refuting the Partey accusation. Apparently he doesn't live on the street where the accused was arrested at his residence and he was in training yesterday. Hoping it wasn't someone in our squad.

Articles are saying the "unknown footballer" was arrested between 3-4am this morning, so attending training yesterday wouldn't rule anyone out.

Report only says he was arrested in North London. Could be from anyone of the London clubs. We will find out soon enough.

So apparently the crime was committed in the Mediterranean, but the victim waited till they returned to the UK to report it to authorities. If it happened outside of the UK and I don't even understand how they'd have jurisdiction to make an arrest. Obviously if a crime occurred I hope the person is brought to justice. Already seems tough to prove.

You can generally be arrested for a crime you allegedly committed in another jurisdiction. They can't prosecute you, but they can extradite you

Sigh. Guess who has pictures of himself in the Mediterranean on IG from 2 weeks ago?

I imagine it will all be confirmed on Tuesday, but this transfer window just got a lot more important.

For sure. On the other hand, innocent until proven guilty.

Not sure there are any players that fit his profile that we could get.

If he did do it, he can get the **** out.

The Sun & Sky Sports are both saying that the suspect is still in custody. If true and Wheatley is correct that may rule out all possible Arsenal players.

Well that seems positive
wangus12

Yep just saw they said player is still in custody. Wheatley is the only person with a possible confirmation so far.

Wheatley deleted the tweet.

I fear this isn't going to end well for Arsenal fans. Hopefully the victim gets justice.

Well... If this goes sideways, who do we pursue for a replacement?

He's an 8/8.5. if we have to replace Partey we will need a #6. Honestly think this could increase our chances of keeping Xhaka (vet influence) and not getting Tielemans.
wangus12
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Sergej Milinkovi-Savi from Lazio would be my shot, but we probably can't afford that.

Basically we have a massive hole in our midfield now.
chjoak
How long do you want to ignore this user?
SMS is more of an 8/8.5 as well. He would be a better option than Tielemans if the plan is to switch back to a 4-2-3-1 (Xhaka & someone knew at the base) but I don't think he is a fit as our 4-3-3 #6. On the current roster Sambi or El Neny are the best options. El Neny is not good enough to be the everyday start. Sambi isn't quite ready and many think he would be much better in the CM spot.
wangus12

Hear me out, play White as the #6 and Saliba as the starting RCB.
chjoak
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That's a possibility. I know White has played some DM before. There were several people around the message boards and reddit suggesting we try him last season when Partey was injured or in terrible form but Arteta never tried it. Wonder if that is something he would consider. Potentially makes even more sense if we move to dual inverted FBs.
agdoc2001
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Zinchenko maybe? He's been linked to us already and plays LB and in the midfield. It's a stretch, but maybe he could flourish at DM?

Or stan could just drop a cool 100 mill and we could grab de jong...
chjoak
How long do you want to ignore this user?
When I have watched Zinchenko in CM (1 game plus some highlights), he looks like more of a Xhaka style #8. Think he could also work as an inverted LB if Martinez falls through.

de Jong would be very interesting. Last I saw ManU had offered 60-65m euro with 15-20m in add-ons. Biggest obstacle would be salary. I think he is currently on something like 350-400k euro per week.

No way, that's superstar wages. Zinchenko's making about $80K a week.

Damn, wish I was making 80K a week
