I think it would take more of an attacking and high profile player for that… Maybe an attacker we weren’t expected to get or attract and would be competing against some major clubs to sign… Chiesa would be insane! (For me anyway, he’s exceptional). Felix perhaps. Someone along those lines would cause a meltdown for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 1 minute ago, DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth said: is Pau Torres a meltdown level signing? Meltdown ..no.... very good signing ..yes. but with the disappointing caveat that Mings will not play as much. And i think his physicality is needed next to Konsa. Mings is the perfect top 8 centre back. Gets his head on everything. Torres is a Man City class centreback where he would excel with a ton of possession and no last ditch defending. I think if we signed Torres then it would be Carlos partnering him. Dont think it would work as well with Konsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 All those spanish sources say things like ”unless a more attractive club arrives”. Sounds like ”someone come and get me please”. Doubt he’ll come to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a statement signing he’s more than good enough to play for any of the big hitters in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever played for his boyhood club. For him to leave and join us would be a statement absolutely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but “meltdown”? Guess it’s a matter of perspective. I don’t care, I’ll be delighted anyway But I’d be ecstatic and uncontrollable if we signed Chiesa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I can't think of a more high profile signing we have ever made. Coutinho had been underperforming for a few years, Tielemans had a poor season and got relegated, Kamara was high potential but hadn't really taken off yet, Schmeichel was in his twilight years. I can't think of a more high profile player in the prime years of their career who has been playing well when we signed them. Therefore yes, it is a huge signing. He could realistically expect to play for just about any team in the world. He is that good and that respected in the industry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be many who will be upset, disgruntled or envious if we manage to attract such a player. Sod ‘em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, but what excites me… is that if we sign Torres… who do we have lined up next? Especially in attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
