Pau Torres

[Chris Smith]

Hi dear, the good news is I've just signed a lucrative contract, the bad news is we have to move out of that sun drenched villa and live somewhere more rainy.
Where? Bilbao?
Err further north and more rain.
Hmmmmm

…but they’re doubling my wages.

He's just got married! Give him a rest, he'll need to get his heartbeat back down so he can pass the physician's examination.

I don't think Southgate was a massively physical player? Good on the deck, good timing, good organisation and quick enough when needed but not big by normal CB standards.

No he wasn’t, and so struggled against powerful players, I always remembered JF Hasslebaink throwing him around like a rag doll whenever he came up against him.

He also played many times for England, won the league cup with us and finished 4th and 5th in his first 2 seasons, being one of our best players. There are very few players that are perfect in every way, and it's a team game. There's no guarantees Torres will be great but i'll wait and see what he does on the pitch before making assumptions, as he comes with an excellent reputation.

Anyway, i'm not concerned about the deal. It seems pretty simple really that he's on honeymoon and that's about all.

Best keep Alisha away from BMH on Monday just in case.

She's not all that.

[JD]

No worries of that. She will be over here in NZ.

After a 6-month honeymoon he would be in no state to play for us.

Jesus, they already know we're away to Manc Utd in the FA Cup 3rd round?

Think that pretty much confirms the suspicions many of us have had ...

I’ve just had a notification he must’ve signed.  Oh no it’s to say they’ve conned 30,000 people into renewing again.  Where are the signings?!

[Clark W Griswold]

The procurement team are all simultaneously on holiday / honeymoon /
playing golf / can’t open their gates.

Booooooo
