I know he wanted to go back to Germany and we rightfully respected that, but at the time I thought it was a big mistake to sell him and keep Partey. Should have been the other way around and that decision looks worse now.

It's not really a decision if he wanted to go. Xhaka had earned more than enough goodwill for the club to respect his wishes.

It's kind of interesting that he had his best season and felt he wanted to go.

It must have then been the best decision for both parties.

He wanted to leave a year earlier but Arteta convinced him to stay, fair fucks man had his best season with us and deserved to leave as he wanted to

It only looks worse because Partey is not playing. We should have kept him one more year to better integrating Rice (maybe Kai), but doubt everyone will be happy with the play time if Xhaka stays.

There were buyers for Xhaka, there were no buyers for Partey. Can't sell players to nobody
