Announce Torres ffs!!!

Why? What difference does it make?

There's always the 'Unsworth jeopardy'

He'd already been announced and then got unannounced!

[PaulWinch again]

Well yes the difference it makes is whether he’s signed or not. I’m quite relaxed about it, but I understand why people are nervous until it’s official.

That's what i thought. So even if he signs, he could still piss off to somewhere else a week or so later :-)

ITSOTP didn't used mean anything...

Im quite relaxed - as I am not convinced that we really need a center-half.  So if we went into next season without a new one, I wouldn't be thinking - "what we playing at here"

Not getting more forward options, and I will be think "what are we playing at here!"

[PaulWinch again]

We really do need a centre half, forward options, a back up right back and GK. But it’s early days.

Good point.

I thought Mings and Konsa did really well since Emery came in and seemed to be getting better. Good to have Diego though and Torres hopefully gives us great quality in depth at CB position.

If we don’t get what we need there’s always the next window.  Remember January. 

[Clampy]

It does amuse me that some people think that because a manager who had only been here under two months didn't get all the players he would  have liked in a January window, think it's going to be like that again.

Agreed Tim.

I like the idea of Torres, but given how well they played last season I wouldn't have been too disappointed going in with the same defensive line up IF it meant we made a real statement elsewhere.  I do worry that there may be a concern over Carlos' fitness.

[Drummond]

We've had 4 CBs, we're just upgrading them. It's what clubs do when they can.

If. Mings got injured we'd be concerned as to how we'd cover it.

[PaulWinch again]

Agreed, we need to think about being stronger more generally. Across all the games we hope to play next season the CB options we have aren’t enough, simple as that, especially if we want to progress.

Spine of the team has to have options, the peripheral wide positions you can mix and match more.  Need two reliable keepers (not concrete foot Olsen),,four centre halves, four centre midfielders and two strikers you trust
