Shame it didn’t work out for him, never thought he got a real chance.
Fee is peanuts, making a hefty loss on him.

Just hope they buy him.

Yep - hopefully we get something back on him.
We're slowly dumping the bad signings and whilst we are having to eat a loss it's best to just get rid of them off the wages.

There is a litany of things I will never forgive our previous manager for, this is one of them.

Works hard, makes life difficult of midfielders and most importantly positions himself well when we don't have the ball - hence lots of passes cut out.
It's amazing it took us so long to sign such a player - it's a plus point for Emery that he spotted this so early and signed Torreira.

Such a simple thing but he's the player we've needed for ages, perfect combo of a Santi replacement with a bit more steel and defensive mindset. If only we could get someone better next to him.

LT’s first season at Arsenal is better than anything Partey has ever produced for us, he was never a bad player just hates the lifestyle and ruined by Emery being asked to play B2B towards the end of Emery’s time here
Funny how quick our fans forget how good LT was...DiamondGooner wrote:How long has it been since we had a proper CDM who know's to screen the back four? know's his role?

Should have kept him. Better than Lokonga and Xhaka.

[DiMarzio] Fiorentina: Torreira will not be signed. The midfielder will return to Arsenal.
