Much like two right footed centre backs can play together so can two left footed one's. You don't know what the agenda is with regards to Ming's future if we sign Torres, unless you've got the ear of the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Mings nor Konsa should be dropped, and Carlos can cover both sides as we know. So I just don't see the case for splurging on an expensive CB who may not even start. If we are going to spend decent money in defence the obvious player type is someone who can play RB and also CB, to compete with Cash and provide cover across the back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much blah blah blah Maybe it's an art to say so much while saying absolutely nothing. It's just a shame that so many have so much time to waste listening and speculating about this kind of bs instead of doing something productive with their lives. Go and read a book FFS not give this guy oxygen. (not in any way negatively aimed at you @IrishVilla10) You are in a speculation thread. How about you go and do something productive instead of fighting what you believe is nothing? If you are right and its "bs" then you are punching air while telling others to be productive Pau would be a great signing. People need to chill regarding what that means for Mings - plenty of games to go around (not to mention formations that include them both) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unai might disagree with you there if he believes Pau can transform the way we play out from the back. And he's four years younger than both Mings and Carlos.

I'm sure he can defend too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 If a player of Torres’ ability is available, affordable, and willing to come, why would we not do it?! We don’t even know what system Emery wants to play next year, and if it involves 3 CB’s then having 4 (and a good RB who can also play in the centre, like Walker) might be a key part of squad rebuilding.

pete101 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I don't watch Spanish football, so this could just be complete waffle, feel free to say if is. From what I've read about Pau , his biggest strength is reading the game. I have a feeling that if we are looking to bring him in its because Unai sees him as the perfect trigger for his high line. I believe he would have no problems playing at right center back and really think Konsa may be considered as an option in that right back position as city have used Akanji this season.

Woody1000 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Pau Torres will play for a top CL club, it’s just whether we can get him in and get a season or 2 out of him before he moves on to that club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
