✍️ OFFICIAL Lucas Torreira (Out)

[Makingtrax]

You think Willian doesn't improve us?

He won't improve us. We already have Pepe on that wing and he's younger, more able, and quicker. Now he's finally bedding in, there's no need for another winger.

Now if you say he's back up and flexible, fair enough, but I say Saka, Nelson and Martinelli are perfectly acceptable back ups. Not as good as Willian granted, and if we do buy players for the midfield and defensive positions we're crying out for, and can afford their wages in addition to Willian, then I'll change my tune.

 

[Rex Stone]

Feel like I’d rather the cash tbh.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

We should avoid Serie A players, unless they play for Juventus/Inter tbh. Torreira was enough of a flop already.

Flop is a bit harsh but he hasn't lived up to the expectations at all

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Sorry mate just nervous about today, getting my A-Level results!

Wow really? Good luck bro!

No partey?

He's very different to Partey, more of an outright CDM whereas Partey is more all action. Don't think the two would be exclusive of each other considering the amount of midfielders we need.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

Feel like I’d rather the cash tbh.

Agreed. Only Roma player I would swap is Pellegrini

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Diawara is decent player but really nothing special if he Torreira replacement then fine but Partey and Ceballos should be added with him.

Diawara also not regular starter for Roma he only played 30 games all competitions. Pellegrini and Veretout are the regular starters

Just a small comment, but in his whole career Willian has played 175 games at RW (while there was certain Hazard at LW in Chelsea), 139 games at LW and 106 games at AMF.

So he is pretty versatile player with good experience, and won't go to RW that much I think (because of Pepe like you said). Depending of course if Auba stays at LW. Or he might play many many positions.

 

[drippin]

C'mon, haven't watched Diawara but he is even slower than Torreira in FIFA. Don't need if true?

Telling you mate, just like Torreira, He's a perfect serie a player who struggle in the PL. There's a reason why we rarely sign players from Italy because they don't suit us

 

[field442]

I think it would be a case of Diawara simply replacing Torreira in the squad. If Torreira leaves we need a midfielder to replace him in the squad with the same type of play style, might as well take Diawara. Cheaper wages and has more of a physique suited to the Premier League.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Not at all he more stronger than Torreira and more pacy but he won't take our midfield to another level

This is the sort of @Makingtrax I like to see and can converse with decently.

I think the thing with Willian is he's going to be playing LW/RW/AM and as a third more attacking CM in a 433. So he's in for flexibility as well as being able to create a lot of chances which is what we really lack.

But like you say we need to make 3 or 4 other additions as well as many, many sales.

Onto the thread and a potential Diawara swap, he's nothing special but he's better than Torreira and would suit the Premier league better than Torreira. He's 6ft tall and works his socks off in DM.

You kind of need players like him in your squad, so as that sort of option I don't think you can go wrong. Especially if Ceballos isn't resigning.

However if this is to replace the Partey deal the club can do one. I stress that if we really can't get money for Torreira then I'd do this, but money over Diawara imo.

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

No partey?

I think the clubs just only looks at Diawara as depth. Because we will lose Guendouzi and Torreira, we need someone as back up

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Roma won't even consider giving us pellegrini unless his 27m release paid.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

When you look at it the club wouldn't just get Diawara in.

Xhaka/Diawara
Willock/Emile Smith Rowe
Willian/Özil

There is just no way Partey and maybe one other isn't signed, our options are so flaccid with who we want to sell.

 

[drippin]

I think Torreira might have issues with the language and maybe other things in England. Might as well try with another similar level player.

In that way both teams could win in this swap, especially if Diawara is faster and more physical than Torreira like yousif said, and otherwise good.

You’re mental. He’s here to play football and he’s a fine footballer. That strengthens us.

 

[drippin]

Diawara has missed 26 games since March 2019. Doesn't look very attracting.

 

[Preacher]

Joke swap, rather sell Torreira and invest that money in the proper player.

 

[krengon]

No swaps.. Can't remember if it has ever worked out for us.
