He is my dream singing since his first game for Barca. He is so calm under pressure and unlike Pjanic he is a great dribbler and can easily come out of pressure with the ball instead of losing it.
Fortunately we don't need to change his position when he comes here like what we did with Pjanic. He is a natural DLP.
His only downside is his injury history. I don't think he was as injury prone in brasil as he is in Barca. Mabe a change of environment would help him gets less injured (if not getting worst ).
All in all great exchange from Paratici. I rate Arthur higher than Tonali and think he is the best replacement for Pjanic that we can get. I hope this deal goes through and we see him in our shirt next season.
Increasingly positive news for the Arthur-Pjanic exchange. Arthur is open to moving to Juventus, not a definitive 'yes' yet, though. Juve offering more than double his salary, we could have news on Wednesday. Clubs still need to agree a valuation on both players. [Di Marzio]
You do realize he plays for Barca, not Valladolid, right? He probably likes it at Barcelona because why wouldn't he? Unfortuantely the club has different plans for him and he needs to reevaluate. I really don't get some people obsession that we should only buy players who are ready to come to Turin on their knees.
Its not desperate, usually a player of his age when they move clubs the salary goes up and a sign from the club of their faith in the players ability. If anything if I was Arthur I'd be asking why I'm earning such a shit wage at barca.
I have been a fan before his Barca debut. When Barca signed him I was heartbroken and thought we would never see him here. I can't believe we have the opportunity to sign him.
There are not so many talented and young DLPs in the world that are better than Arthur.
I would only rate de jong slightly higher than him. He is by far the best thing we can get in his position this window.
I see people don't rate him much, just wait until he starts for us.

I dont think people here know him much actually, only that he has had injury issues and that he doesnt wanna leave barca/come to Juve. Rest of the negative hoopla is just exaggerated on those two facts.

So, how good is the kid actually? Watched maybe two his games, and he didn't impress, but I hate Barca, and I thought Berna could become a great player, so the fuck do I know.
BREAKING: Barcelona also want to sign Miralem Pjanic from Juventus and talks are continuing over his valuation. Juve value the 30-year-old at €70m but Barcelona do not feel he is worth just €10mless than Arthur. [Sky]

DONE DEAL: Juventus have agreed a €80m fee with Barcelona to sign Arthur. Maurizio Sarri wants to build his midfield around him in a similar way to that of Jorginho at Napoli and Chelsea. Juve offered Arthur more wages than his current deal at Barca. [Sky]
