As some wise men on this forum used to say, if Xhaka is the hill on which all managers want to die on, so be it.
Guendouzi for me has moments in games rather then a particular game. He still has errors that needs coaching out his game but the potential is there.The likes of Torreira and Guendouzi have had periods of sustained form. Whereas with Xhaka you don't get that.
He either plays extremely bad or average.
Rarely spectacular, if ever.
Xhaka outperforms Torreira almost every game. Every manager prefers Xhaka to Torreira.
Not that Xhaka himself is great but he is a better footballer than Torreira in so many aspects.
Torreira is bang average, limited passer, average technique, small and weak for his role, all rolled with a loser mentality. You can find players like him in the championship whenever you want, except they’ll likely be more physically imposing.
It’s not just that, it’s the fact that he gave up so easily, wanting to leave after one year that bugs me the most. Believe it or not, I had big hopes for the guy but he has been a massive disappointment when he can’t even outperform Xhaka.This is so pathetic and I've never understood why Torreira gets labelled with it. Everything else you said, fairs, but just because he cried doesn't mean he has loser mentality ffs.
Of course a winner is someone who hacks down opponents shouts at teammates and blamed teammates.This is so pathetic and I've never understood why Torreira gets labelled with it. Everything else you said, fairs, but just because he cried doesn't mean he has loser mentality ffs.

35mil down the drain. I just hope his reputation still holds in Italy and we can salvage some of that but they are not known for being big spenders. Loan is the best we can hope for.
He was one of our best player in the first half of last season.Guendouzi for me has moments in games rather then a particular game. He still has errors that needs coaching out his game but the potential is there.
Lucas on the other hand has really struggled and we have struggled because of it. Other the ths Sp**s game which most of the team looked good that day and the overhead kick he done, gets bullied easily and is emotionally weak.

We won a FA Cup with Xhaka starting in a final against Chelsea and providing a brilliant performance. Is that good enough? No but it’s more than what loser Torreira has offered to Arsenal after giving him cult like status.Xhaka was £35 million down the drain, Lucas cost £25 million.
I'd say Xhaka is the 35m down the drain.It’s not just that, it’s the fact that he gave up so easily, wanting to leave after one year that bugs me the most. Believe it or not, I had big hopes for the guy but he has been a massive disappointment when he can’t even outperform Xhaka.

His arrival fast tracked our decline and we Dropped out the CL.
