✍️ OFFICIAL Lucas Torreira (Out)

[Nunowoolmez]

Reports from Uruguay confirm the news

Fckin get in !!!

 

[Dutch D]

Glad he's gone, but that is an awful fee for a Uruguay international who's just had a great season in Italy by all accounts.

Complete cluster f**k all round, this one. Sven for bringing him here, Torreira for being a poisonous little weasel & Edu getting mugged off by proper negotiators in the Turkish Bazaar

Agree. Really awful situation, glad it's over.

 

[Anders Harbo]

Brentford also made new 20m bid for Damsgaard Sampdoria likely accepting so can't rule sampdoria out using this money to get Torreira

Erhh what? I’m from Denmark, and haven’t heard og read anything about this in the Danish medias.

Edit: I found it.

 

[Halcyon Daze]

Man City will probably sell someone from their u-16 team with one leg for more than that.

Can’t stop laughing at this. Got me there @A__G.

 

[Rex Stone]

Good stuff.

The Mavrapanos, Auba and Guendouzi fiascos are on Edu and Arteta.

The others were more “experienced” players you probably weren’t getting much back for anyway.

Torreira is the only one out of all of them which you can say was a gigantic mistake.

 

[Halcyon Daze]

The grey skies terrify him. To be fair I can see why it’d depress you if you’re not used to it. October > March is grim isn’t it.

There’s a Uruguayan Steak House on Essex Road, can walk there from the stadium. If he’s missing the sun, there’s a tanning salon nearby too. He’s just a ponce basically.

 

[Kysus]

7mil for Torreira with 1year left?

Hahahaha we are robbing them blind.

 

[Beany]

Just get rid of this dude and bring in Tielemans already.

We’ll always have that goal against Spuds and…well, that’s pretty much it in hindsight, save for a ****load of unfounded optimism.

Lovely stuff

 

[Hunta]

Constantly getting no money in transfers like this, makes that 7 million feel like 70 million...which isn't a good thing, tbh

Hopefully this is the last window this happens to us, and we learn how to actually sell players properly again...aka, no freezing them out Mikel and no admitting you are happy to pay off their last year again Edu.

A lot of our players will have resale value in the PL over the next few years. Early to mid twenties, homegrown, good standard. Would expect a few big sales going forward.

 

[BIoodBrother]

14 for Leno and Torreira each would have been fair. 14 for both together it is then.
What did Fiorentina bid when they refused their option at 12mil?

 

[Bloodbather]

Turkish clubs are broke, it'd be pretty surprising for Galatasaray to buy him outright instead of trying a loan deal or something.

That being said, continuing to spend despite being broke to save the day and jeopardize the future is the Turkish way of doing things in football, so it could happen.

Corrected.

 

[NieThePiet]

Just got a notification that his plane made an u-turn, because they told him Instanbul isn't in Italy.

 

[BenTal]

I'm glad he cannot get back to Italy He would certainly suffer in Turkey bc of language barrier

 

[dashsnow17]

Man we really ruined this guy’s career huh

Stop posting like @Entropics mate. You’re trusted for a reason.

He ruined his own career pal. He's gonna get ****ed out there in Turkey.

Muslera played out there for years iirc.

Istanbul is a pretty sick city I’ve heard as well.

He was a TOP prospect in Italy and a very good player, just a terrible move for him on and off the pitch. I think he’d have done well if he stayed in Italy, he’d probably be playing for Roma or Napoli by now.
