✍️ OFFICIAL Lucas Torreira (Out)

[A_G]

Why? There were rumours earlier, that we had to offload a few before signing anyone...

It was wishful thinking on our part.

 

[sdotzdot]

Its not the same position.

They both play in midfield. It is absolutely the same position.

different roles in midfield, yes, still the same position and bodies in that position always matter in outgoing/incomings.

 

[Gunners1616]

Why didn't we ask for Lemar on loan as well ? Given the state of our midfield he was worth a shot.

 

[say yes]

Wouldn’t be surprised if the only deal Edu manages to complete before the deadline is this disaster.

Absolute joke.

 

[MikelHadADream]

We've been absolutely had here. Its a joke we have to wait for them to shift players before we can get him off the books.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the only deal Edu manages to complete before the deadline is this disaster.

Absolute joke.

And the loan of Saliba.

 

[OnlyOne]

Imagine going for a medical and everything but only being able to sign if Atletico sell 2 players, watch him stick an Arsenal training top on next month.

Like a new signing.

If Torreira to AM is really contingent on them shifting 2 players, then why did we not let him go to Fiorentina? Would've been a loan with option as well. If it's that he rejected the move, club should've given him an ultimatum. Go to Italy or sit on the bench.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Let AM sell one and then we can help them out with Partey to free up space for Torreira-or so you'd think.

 

[Garrincha]

Lucas will be crying into his special tea on the plane home.

Apparently Athletico was Torreira’s preference but I can’t remember where I read it.

Arsenal insisted on fees instead of loan as well, yet we’ve caved to Athletico. Such a bad deal we might as well have kept him, awful deal.

 

[Camron]

Only thing I'm excited about now is the Usual Suspect meltdown when Lucas reports back for training after the international break.

 

[razörist]

Disgusting

[truth_hurts]

Atletico need to sell two to bring Torreria in. Well we could take Partey off them to help them out.

 

[bingobob]

What a strange situation.

 

[FinnGooner]

We've gone from "loan with an option to buy" to "medical with an option to loan"

 

[dka1]

We've gone from "loan with an option to buy" to "medical with an option to loan"

Our club are such a joke honestly. Taken to the cleaners every day of the week.

Heard @OnlyOne got stowed away in Torreira’s hand luggage. Midget package gone.
