Was never against Torres signing but not for 55 million and wonder how he'll fit as wouldn't drop Mings and Konsa week 1 The fee is an astute piece of business. but we need to progress as a fanbase too, away from being "Dropped" to "Rotated".....Our players are expensive assets, we need to nurture their health and a potential 50 games a season requires a squad, not just a team. We have an astute manager, who quite apart from the challenges of fitness, will know what choices to make, tactically, in facing diverse opposition. We are progressing to a level of the game, where this is necessary, there won't be any guarantee's of a shirt, it will be on merit.......we wasn't able to do that in the past. Pau Torres will be one of the players to change the game for us.....this is on the road to becoming elite. Edited June 30, 2023 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I understand the fears that some fans have of transfers being gazumped at the last minute.....However negotiations are usually conducted in a discreet fashion. If a fee has been disclosed, it would suggest to me, that the transfer has gone too far down the line to be gazumped. Unless, I am very naive.......no one would allow that to be disclosed and jeopardise a deal, unless its a foregone conclusion. I think the Pau Torres deal is Done, bar the usual details, being finalised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 He’s still a tap-in merchant. However, I will add that Pau and Romano mutually follow on Instagram. Given how much he’s tweeted about the deal in the last 48 hours leads me to suspect the news is from Pau’s camp. I consider that a done deal.

Guest av1 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Am I correct in thinking that all the paperwork could be completed and signed subject to him passing a medical? In that case, even if the medical isn't booked in for another couple weeks, he’s contractually a Villa player, and no one else could nick him off us.

MrBlack Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Ideally want to get this over the line today I guess... If we sign subject to medical, can we factor him in to the current FFP cycle, instead of the one that starts tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
