I'd imagine a demotion was on the cards for him too. One of those what if players plagued by injury.
By all accounts he was looking for a raise , already on big wages , the club wanted to hold onto him but on a lesser contract. Considering he misses half of every season I can't say I'm that disappointed but best of luck to him.
I'd give him one on a strictly play for pay deal. Otherwise there's nothing to negotiate. I know you weren't xhakas biggest fan but his fitness was immense and I'd argue he's contributed more to arsenal than Partey has.
Ahh xhaka
4 shit years years followed by 2 decent years . You will like norgaard he has a feel of the xhaka about him 
Tbf herb you have to take into account what he was working with for those 4 years.Ahh xhaka
Serious loss of credibility and integrity at that club. You could probably someway understand swimming against the tide for the two CBs, captain or #7. Not even going to name them in this hypothetical situation. But to do it for a player like Partey that there's ten a penny of, was seriously odd.Partey charged.

Bizzare that Arsenal continued to pay and play him when dogs on the street knew what was going on!
