There is going to be a lot of rotation this season Yep, plenty of games to go about with League, Europe and hopefully a cup run. But Torres isn't coming here to be backup, he'll probably play the most games out of all the CBs barring a long injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is going to be a lot of rotation this season I'm talking about the Premier League. Torres will be a first choice CB and a settled back 4 is ESSENTIAL to success in the Prem. Rotation will be in the cups and in Europe. We won't be constantly chopping and changing our Premier League back 4 as that's a recipe for chaos. Won't happen.

Finds an open man with a range of unconventional passes. I think a lot of people are overlooking Carlos too… he’s also excellent on the ball and has a superb passing range. I recall Unai bringing him on against Wolves specifically to try and utilise that ability to help create, play an attacker in, and get us back in the game… hopefully he will be clear of his injury trouble… Diego will also bring the physicality and aerial prowess some people think Pau may be lacking (I’m not so sure… we’re talking about one of the very best CBs in La Liga who has won and competed in European competition, I don’t think he will be lacking much at all and will be our no.1 CB). The main thing is we have proper options now, we won’t fall apart if Mings get injured - which was always the case. This is huge! I like and rate all 4 of our CBs and it’s a great position to be in, I’d even go so far as to say we have one of the best “groups” in the league now… Konsa will improve even further by learning off these guys… Unai may well convert him to a hybrid RCB/RB too and enhance his abilities… We have so many games to play: rest, rotation, injuries, suspensions, cover etc. all has to be accounted for.

Jas10 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 2 minutes ago, Villarcana said: I think Konsa is moving to right back, someone posted a thing here about his crossing stats in relation to cash etc and Konsa had decent percentage, for that stay back and turn into a centre back allowing left to attack position . I think Konsa will be great. Then cash if we want to start pushing forward , chambers in reserve . Maybe another attacking fullback will be signed but looks solid enough to me . It’s highly likely… but also, bringing in better players will help our existing players to improve too… when Diego and Mings’ times are up here, we may well see Konsa partnering Pau in defence in future… but we may also sign more elite CBs too I’m almost as excited to see Diego play as I am Torres… So much to look forward to… who are we signing next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he'll have to adapt that side of his game. Can't see those being very effective in a physical league like the Prem. Opposition CBs can almost all compete in the air, and our forwards aren't known for their aerial dominance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose hel be encouraging to keep it mixed up , for instance JJ would feed off a decent pass into back to goal striker but he will also feed off a line breaking through ball . Really looking forward to what the Don does with him ! Exciting times ! UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
