Lucas Torreira (Done)

[say yes]

Italian journos have been reading AM it seems.

My number one choice for midfield now we can’t get Kondogbia or Fabinho. Torreira is probably more suitable for us if we’re going to keep Xhaka anyway.

 

[SA Gunner]

This makes too much sense to be true. Lets hope Im wrong.

 

[Furious]

Can't wait to see what's this guy is like this summer for Uruguay. Hope he starts.

 

[Emmanueleboue2]

Please!

He's going to be worth a lot more in the future than what we would pay for him now. Should snap him up. He's a mobile ball winner, full of lots of energy, that reads the game well and is also tidy on the ball. Xhaka can still control the game from deep but with someone like Torreira ahead and around him, he'll be far less exposed.

You guys watch Sampdoria often or is it based on YouTube clips and stats?

What are his strengths and weaknesses?

 

[Emmanueleboue2]

Torreira,Pavard,Sokratis and a speed demon as winger would be something

 

[tap-in]

We're going to be linked to so many players this season and have no clue which ones are genuine. I guess if they are still going a week or two later they may have some validity.

Youtube and Footy Manager.

Am I completely being misled here?

No, no. Would be cool to hear the opinion of people who've followed him closely.

Here's a very thorough article on him:

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It's a shame because tuttomercatoweb is just worse than daily star

 

[Hinderz]

Would be nice if we got someone who couldnt walk under a table without ducking.

I couldn't be more in favour of this signing if I were Torreira's own grandmother. Perfect playing profile, perfect age profile, perfect price bracket, perfect character, perfect town of birth....he has it all.

 

[<<reed>>]

Tuttomercatoweb is an absolute rubbish sauce

 

[dashsnow17]

Here's a very thorough article on him:

Napoli has been by far the most touted destination for him. I see the logic of that, I just hope it doesn't happen. Otherwise the writer of the article suggests Liverpool, well that's not longer an option. I think Torreira is still too inexperienced for a club like City or Utd to go for him. He could go to Spain obviously, but Arsenal really isn't a bad destination. Good for us and good for him.

But then again when did good sense have any effect on an Arsenal transfer?

I agree. We need to be ready if they decide to change the goals to a basket/hoops in 3 meters height.
