villabromsgrove Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Being an optimist I like to think that the reason he hasn't signed yet is because he can't until at least Saturday when the European transfer window opens. Also it makes a lot of sense to let Monchi announce this signing early next week. It will be a good start for him, even if he hasn't been the one doing the preparation for a cracking signing. Of course it might be that he isn't coming to us, but I'm ignoring that possibility for now and going with the positive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf judging by Pau's Instagram, it looks like he got married yesterday. So maybe he's been a little preoccupied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His new wife is both intelligent and breathtakingly attractive. I'll look forward to welcoming them both to the Villa family. Now I am going to be really disappointed if he doesn't sign for us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted June 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2023 I'm afraid Carlos is pretty much a wild card now, so Torres would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafyVilla Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) I keep thinking to myself that if we sign Torres, would Emery move Konsa out to right back/be right back cover etc, but not sure if we'd play 2 left footed CB's together as can't see him coming to sit on the bench.

Which is why I don’t think we will be signing him…. We don’t actually need him! Our CB pairing was brilliant last season and we have Diego fighting it out for a spot. We have positions which are more of a priority, for sure. I’m also not convinced he would come here… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City had the joint best defence in the league last season and are about to sign a 100 million quid centre back. There’s a lot of games to be played. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea lots of games. Competition for places is always good etc. I still think there are priority positions though, and Torres is going to be £40/50m+? Do we have that much of a budget? Doubt it.

Even if we sign Torres now it doesn’t mean we aren’t sorting other positions though, it’s going to be a long window 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gaz90 Posted June 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2023 It isn't as simply as buying better attackers to get more goals. The build up of play, breaking teams down by keeping possession and working opportunities is much more important than in years gone by. Signing Torres gives us much better distribution. This is key in a system like ours when we aim to frustrate teams by keeping possession, forcing mistakes and building out from the back. Torres could be one of our most important attacking players, should we sign him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will in turn hopefully draw opponents out of position towards him and freeing up space in the gaps left for our midfield and attack to exploit.
