‘Arsenal look average without amazing Partey’ – Adams asks questions of Gunners recruitment

The former Gunners captain has been impressed by the Ghanaian midfielder, but believes more signings of that ilk are required at Emirates Stadium

Arsenal look “average” when Thomas Partey is missing from their starting XI, says Tony Adams, with the legendary former Gunners captain asking more questions of the club’s recruitment.

The north London heavyweights have found value hard to come by in recent transfer windows, but they appear to have struck gold when it comes to Partey with the combative Ghanaian making an immediate impression on the back of his summer switch from Atletico Madrid.

He has, however, been laid low with an untimely thigh complaint picked up prior to the November international break. That prevented the 27-year-old from figuring in the Premier League clash with Leeds where Arsenal scraped a point with 10 men.

Adams says Mikel Arteta’s side looked vulnerable without their midfield enforcer, telling Stadium Astro: “We really missed Partey. Against Man United, we had some quality and stature in that central midfield area. It gave other players license to go and play. We didn’t have that, we looked very average.

“It was an in between performance of Villa, where we actually were destroyed on the full-backs, and the United game where we did amazing. We are inconsistent.”

Adams believes Arsenal need to find more players of Partey’s ilk in upcoming windows, with the Gunners often prioritising deals in areas that do not need reinforcing.

The ex-Gunners defender added: “Bringing Partey in is amazing recruitment. Arteta is doing a fantastic job but I question recruitment. Willian, [Nicolas] Pepe, do we need them? Do we add in the right areas? Do we need a right-back?

“I think Gabriel has been another inclusion that has been brilliant, but I question [Emi] Martinez – the goalkeeper – that we let go. Recruitment is so important.

“We have got another player like Patrick [Vieira]. He was a legend and Partey might go on to be that, he is so impressive. It’s the first time in a long time that I have got excited about Arsenal recruitment.”

Arsenal will be hoping that Partey comes back into contention as they head towards the hectic festive period, with the Europa League clash with Molde on Thursday set to be followed by a Premier League home date with Wolves on Sunday.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
