Pau Torres

[Nucky]

Nothing is decided yet on Kounde.. Don't panic.. I'd prefer Kounde obiviously but wouldn't mind Torres either..

 

[vuji_31]

Too slow. Only plus is that he is left footed

 

[Raketa10]

He doesn't look so slow to me...

Doesn't matter. A left footed softie and signing him from La Liga...giving me too many Lenglet vibes. We really need to stop going for these kind of soft defenders, who get easily bullied by world class attackers. What our defense needs, is a proper physical beast, but also good on the ball obviously. That's why Koulibaly would've been perfect...even if just for a few years. Wouldn't have even mattered, some of us especially older fans (who know just how much the market has gone to shit in the last 5 years and that there's basically no loyalty left, except for a select few at certain biggest clubs, when they have no reason to ever leave) like to be romantic sometimes and think we need to sign only 20 year olds and that we'll then have that position sorted for a decade.

Rarely works like that anymore...things in football change very quickly these days. That's why Koulibaly at 31 would've been just fine...he would've been a beast for us for at least 3-4 years...need to look at the profile more with him...just like with Lewy. A proper injection of world class quality and leadership, exactly what our defense sorely lacks, and until then we would've bought someone new to replace him.

He is good on the ball, but I am tired of CB's with the biggest trait being good on the ball and lacking everything else. We already have a team with 99% players being able to pass, we need someone with aggression and leadership traits.

 

[Devils]

omfg if we miss out on Killa Kounde and sign this Iberico hamroll, I swear the whole transfer window may go down the drain.

fffsss this would be a nightmare.

True that. Exactly.

Sick of Barca DNA and able.to pass the ball..

Football is more than just passing the ball.

 

[Catta]

Is he even better than Christensen.

 

[mc_lovin]

He's good and an excellent fit for Araujo, but I can't get excited about another positional defender in the mold of Christensen or Pique.

 

[Temptation]

I believe he's better than Christensen

 

[jamrock]

Pau Torres is class would look great beside Araujo.

 

[Devils]

This guy is of the same mold as Clement Lenglet.

Pls I beg, pls don't sign this guy over Killa Kounde.

It's like deciding to purchase a modern Ferrari vs a beat down Toyota!

Toyota is more reliable and cost less to fix though. Saving money dog.

Doubt it.

He is taller Chrostansen.

He is last option for big clubs.There is no much interest in him.

Yeah, totally agree. We really should have signed Koulibaly. I'm suck of these soft, ball playing defenders. I want a hard tackling, tough as nails defender like Puyol. Rudiger would have been great too but he's a Madridsta.
Pau Torres should be avoided
