This could well be posturing to push his price up. Or it could be a distraction of some kind while they quietly work on bringing in a younger replacement. But purely from a technical quality perspective he'd be a fantastic backup for Rice, and his for rotating with Jorginho and Elneny for domestic cup matches. That doesn't take into account certain allegations and the awkwardness/bad PR of having someone in the squad with that baggage though.

Yeah I'd like to offload him before his personal situation gets worse, but there's no doubt about his quality.
He mentioned they'd play together — I think we might see 2 6s in hard games like City lol
God, can you even imagine both Partey and Rice. No ball for you, Pep!
