    The guy never shuts up. Still it's better than Silent Stan I guess.

    I still cant grasp how Torreira went from the player he was in his first season to not being able to even start Carabao cup games. He is our Partey solution at home IMO. He hustles, covers every blade of grass and breaks play better than anyone I can think of at Arsenal, yet he doesnt even get on the bench!?

    Torreria is probably seen as a headless chicken and too small to dominate a Premier League midfield.

    I don't think he has ever really settled in England either, there was some noise about him wanting to leave last summer as well. Suspect his camp are really pushing for the move away now.

    With Athletico so keen on signing him it seems mad we can't do a player + cash deal for Partey.

    If we get the right price for him, he can leave. Otherwise I'd rather give him a chance to shine over the likes of Elneny and Xhaka.

    Elneny and Xhaka remind of Denilson.. lots of sideways and backward passes with no end product.

    Umm.. he was phenomenal in his first season and was dominating most games.. I remember many saying that he was as good as (if not better) than Kante. Things started to go downhill when Emery tried to play him as an attacking midfielder. He also had an injury somewhere in there and things started to unravel after that.

    Yeah but I don't think Arteta has ever really fancied him. Doesn't fit in with whatever it is he's trying to build.

    I'd get rid of all three and buy one decent replacement, then play AMN in there with him. Our current midfielders are all pretty crap tbh. Everyone has a go at Xhaka, but he's (sadly) the best of that bunch. I don't count Ceballos as he could be off at any minute, depending on the terms of his loan.

    He started off well but tailed off. He was awful towards the end of the season before last when admittedly the whole team collapsed.

    Torreira is a decent player but I honestly don't think he is suited to PL, he is too weak, easily gets shrugged off the ball and he isn't a efficient passer of the ball either IMO. TBF non of our midfielders really are suited to PL with the exception of Ceballos and he isn't even our player, classic Arsenal!

    Torreira is made for a Simeone team though, I think he'll be a star at Atletico.
