Just woken up to hear that #AFC will sign both Torreira and Leno. WOW. I love this club.

Another user, Unbalanced Arsenal, admitted about not knowing about the player, but he did like the 'descriptions' he came across when doing his homework on Torreira.
I can't pretend I know much about Lucal Torreira but according to the descriptions I've read seems just the right type of player for us. Relentless terrier-type, good at protecting the ball and stats from last season very impressive as well. #AFC #TransferTalk

Kisembo Paul calls it a 'bargain' in the current transfer market conditions and feels he will solve the club's 'problem in defensive midfield'.

Gooner Rich expressed his satisfaction at this summer's transfer policy with the club having 'finally taken a step forward' in his view.
Ooh To Be A Gooner though hopes the player lives up to the hype, while Arsene has now found a reason to watch Uruguay's games in the World Cup.
Transfer policy this summer seems to have finally taken a step forward. Rather than throwing all our weight behind one target (which we usually lost out on anyway), we seem to be able to pursue multiple targets effectively and get deals done. #MislintatIn #Arsenal #AFC #Torreira

What a good signing Lucas Torreira would be if he live up all the hypes… must say I'm super excited about this very signing. Our third signing of the summer. #Afc
