Well yeah, that's pretty much what I said as well. We targeted Torreira because he was doing similar things at Sampdoria that Kanté did at Leicester and had a similar build.
Height is a weak argument in this particular comparison, Torreira and Kanté are the same height. You did touch on the one factor that failed Torreira here and one that separates him from Kanté, he doesn't cover large spaces like Kanté does. That proved to be decisive because distances between the lines in Italy and England are quite different. That's also the reason why I think Torreira will go back to being very good if he goes back to Italy. Just not the right fit. He could potentially excel at a team that keeps a narrow shape like Burnley, but he's obviously not going to go there.

I was reading that Everton are keen on Allan hopefully that happens.
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
Much wow, or maybe Sven thought that we're gonna play a different style of football and bought him because of that?
We've completely changed the way we play over the last 2 years and not every player will fit in this extra defensive counter-attacking style.
There are other traits of a good player other than physicality and height.
If you buy Özil and 2 years later your team turns into Stoke, does that mean that somebody googled Özil as well or your arguments are completely wrong?
Good news. Hopefully we can fleece Milan for 25m plus. Use to money for Partey.
Nothing against Torreira, but he just isn't good enough. He'd be much more suited to Italian football.

A lot of harsh opinions on Torreira here, the player doesnt fit the style we play and is suited to one position only but lets not make out he is some awful player or the worst we've ever signed as that is just ridiculous.
This forum can be so extreme at times, players rated as either great or ****.

He’s spoken to a Uruguayan radio station about leaving again. I think he’s certainly going this window.
Seem he open to leave.

Name one thing he is good at, and don't tell me it is "breaking up play"
He has no positional awarenes, is clueless tacticially, cannot run and gets pushed off the ball super easily despite having a low center of gravity. Hardly a ball winner..
And let's not even start with ability on the ball...
I'm generally really reasonable and see the bigger picture(players like Mustafi are not as bad as people make out) but man
Torreira is the exception as he is the definition of useless

Well, that is the one thing he is good at. I think the PL is just too fast-paced for him. He did it to good effect in Italy and at the WC.
Get 25-30m for him, 25-30m plus sell on fee for Guendouzi and replace them both with Partey for his release clause or slightly more than his release clause on the basis we are able to pay his transfer fee in instalments over a longer period.
Good business, improve the quality of the starting 11.

Was so exited when he was signed, as most of us were. A Kante/Verratti hybrid we were promised. Turned out to be a poor mans, shrunken version of Francis Coquelin.

Can't make his mind up
Lacks that power / athleticism you need to succeed in his role in the PL. Think we've already seen what we're likely to ever get out of him. Probably best to sell if we can recoup what we paid and recycle the cash elsewhere. Need to keep rolling the dice.

Ups and downs, played at number 10 by Unai, got a ****ty injury, came back in a new system with a new coach with no chance to even play 2 games in a row...
Still only 24 and Uruguayan international who should be much more respected. Never complained and always gave his best. I'll be sad to see him leave but i'm sure he hasn't reached his ceiling yet.
I know this is AM forum so i don't expect him to be respected much but come on...

Thinks its more of him just not being a good fit in England. Most fans seem to like him (as do I) but can see his limitations. Also, throw in the fact he doesn't seem to fit what Arteta wants to do. Homesickness thing from last year, etc. Hopefully we get a good fee for him and wish him all the luck going forward.
