✍️ OFFICIAL Lucas Torreira (Out)

[say yes]

See I think the opposite, people on this site exaggerate the positives of a player they do like. Torreira has never been fantastic or an amazing DM, if he was he would never have been moved forward by Emery or dropped completely by Arteta.

He's literally our worst midfielder but you claimed he's the best multiple times, his performances were poor in the majority of games played here. People just put this idea in their minds that he was this amazing DM because they watched him in the World Cup.

I think post Arsène Wenger you're very generous to these players, remember when he was still here and you were a harsher critic. You had a whole profile pic about Giroud being a donkey ffs!

Was revealed a while ago that Emery never wanted Torreira because he wants his DM to be tall to clear up balls in front of the back 4. That’s why he was always played further forward (which is dumb).

When Arteta has used him, he’s used him in that deeper role (where he was great). However, we don’t play with two DMs and our midfield is devoid of creativity so his time on the pitch has obviously been limited.

We’ll see who is right when he moves to his next club. I think he will be great if bought to play DM in a more traditional setup.

I try to be positive when I can. Just four seasons watching Giroud bumble around up front absolutely broke me.

And now Edu is basically saying the same thing.

Well, would you be excited at the prospect of adding Gabriel, Partey, Willian another CM and possibly another attacker to the squad?

I certainly am.

 

[DanDare]

Arteta wants to sign another CB, CM and forward

It's time to Partey boys and girls

Depends on who it is.

If these rumours are true I'm certainly not against the deal, Torreira had decent potential but I never thought he was going to end up being a major important player for us in the end, probably not up to PL standard.

As long as this guy isn't an alternative to Partey & we are still in for him then I'm willing to see how he goes aswell. We could have a completely new look midfield this season if Partey still comes in.

 

[Get These Hands]

This guy any good? What type of player is he? Is he what we need?

This guy any good? What type of player is he? Is he what we need?

Decent. He is DM more stronger and pacy than Torreira. He could be Torreira replacement.

 

[Gunners1616]

Might as well keep Torreira if the replacement is not a certified upgrade.

Lucas has 3 years left and he already knows the PL .

Is he really that quick? When I’ve seen him his athleticism hasn’t exactly been off the charts

Its not elite type but decent you don't need to be super quick for to be midfielder

True, but I almost feel like Lucas might pip him in a foot race.

 

[Bloodbather]

Can't really get excited about a potential Diawara-Partey partnership considering the AFCON angle.

Please get rid of him, I hate the fact that he’s still an Arsenal player. Worst player currently at the club.
