Hi Ed has any changed with Thomas Partey? There's so many reports saying that he wants to join, any idea if it's true or if anything has changed?
{Ed002's Note - Thomas Partey (DM) Atletico Madrid are not looking to let him leave but AM are in a significant debt issue and know that Llorennte, Saul, Partey and Lemar are the options to open up the opporunity to raise money - yet the interest of sides is a light year from serious. They may be able to ease the immediate strain with the help of Chelsea. Manchester City have had a discussion about Saul but he could easily be priced out of a move. I am not aware of anything changing in respect of Arsenal making an approach to Atletico for the player.}

Thanks Ed, I think we all know it’s unlikely because we don’t have the money.
{Ed002's Note - Arsenal need to raise money by selling - if they do wish to look to TP then they might need to look to persuade Atletico to accept Lacazette (who they are interested in - but not first choice) as part of the deal.}

Thanks Ed, I thought so.
