✍️ OFFICIAL Lucas Torreira (Out)

[Xln]

He's got one year left on his contract. We'll sell for 12mil. If i was Brighton, i'd sign him up as Bissouma replacement.
Hes not bad at all but not what we need. I dont worry that we cant sell. Or are his wages a problem?

Can see Potter turn Torreira into a top 3 EPL midfielder tbh. Elite coach.

 

[AbouCuéllar]

Not even Italy wants this guy. Sorry @Xln but I don't think even Guardiola or God himself could turn Torreira into a top 3 EPL midfielder. Such a limited footballer.

 

[chessygoal]

Our goulag XI is starting to look good, we just need an AM :
Leno
Bellerin-Saliba-Mari-AMN
Elneny-Torreira
Pepe-Balogun-Reiss

Do you really think I see Potter at the same level as Guardiola or God?
Oh my sweet summer child

Nah, wasn't saying that, was just saying that I no one is turning Torreira into a top 3 MF in the premier.

 

[Entropics]

No elite coach will make Torreira fall in love with England anyway, pointless discussion.

He'll make a fine addition to the paid to leave XI

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Told everyone about this guy for ages and all I got was abuse for it from Arsenalmania.

Based on that world cup I was excited as well. But yeah, no more 4ft players please.

Cue Lucas coming back and having a renaissance like coquelin did.

Coquelin is 10x the player.

 

[Tell.]

He'll be part of the release on a free crew.

Shouldn't loan players to Italy without obligation to buy. All of them are cheap stake clubs wanting players for cheap. 13m option to buy was a decent price but they low balled us.

 

[lomekian]

Its almost as if people in charge of recruitment who have no reference to what the manager wants to do or some longer-term stylistic plan is a bad idea.

That summer we bought some decent players, and some in positions of need, but there was zero stylistic coherence, followed up by buying Pepe who the manager didn't even want

For better or worse at least Arteta & Edu are on the same page about general approach, so the signings at least make some sense, even if they aren't necessarily the right people

And low-balled him too, which may well have been the more terminal element

 

[TinFish]

Can see Emery resigning him for cheap or free and making him a main player at Villareal.

Yeh I can really see him flourishing in that No.10 free role that Emery loved playing him in. His beautiful vision for the game is on par with Zidane.

 

[Flying Okapis]

Does anyone actually know how he got on at Fiorentina? I keep hearing he done well but was he any better than just good, was he a stand out at all?

Its starting too sound like he thought he done better than he did.

This transfer has been a complete disaster.

3 POTM awards, arguably player of the season once Vlahovic was sold

Tbf to Em*ry, moving destroyer types higher up the pitch in possession to hide them in the build-up is a pretty standard tactic in today's football, you can see it with pretty much any team that uses this type of player who is a liability in build-up.

It wasn't really as radical a thing as Arsenal fans made it out to be. Ljungberg came in and did the exact same thing.

 

[BenTal]

I afraid that we should have agreed the 7 millions offer. I can't see we manage to sell him tbh.
