The thing is we've sort of learned to play without Partey, and the times he came back have been shaky. If anything we need an upgrade for him to partner with Declan, at least rotating with Jorgi for specific games.

I would love it if Arteta gave ESR more time, but him staying on the bench really isn't ideal for his development.

Absolutely agree. He hasn't looked all that convincing and I think injuries have played a part in that. With consistent game time that could change, but it may be worth more selling him if the right bid was made. Kinda why I was in two minds about him.

I also agree with ESR, I just don't want it to happen xD

Arteta doesn't trust his second tier players even for cup ties, which I would like to see us be a bit more serious about. I mean some still left on the squad aren't up to par even for those (Vieira is one that comes to mind), but a cup is silverware. We also can't run a majority of the team ragged but have people not develop and get stronger while sitting on the bench.
