Jesus, can't that bloke in pink walk in front of a new signing without slobbering over his phone? FFS!

He looks a bit overweight and pink really doesn't suit him.

A bit mean, really. Can’t we leave the poor guy alone?

I bet he's been all over Google Maps, saw there was a Primark at the Fort and thought "Yes, I'm fucking in"

You may mock but I once saw Uncle Albert shopping in Next at The Fort. I thought millionaire footballers might shop somewhere a bit more exclusive that that.
You might think that, but I ran into Torres' (former?) teammate, Gérard Moreno, at the weekend as we are staying at the same campsite near Tarragona! Surely he should be in St. Lucia or Belize or somewhere like that!?

Thought the commentary on the lack of aggression/physicality was interesting, as the key reason why CL clubs have looked elsewhere. To be honest I've never been all that impressed by Torres on the handful of times I've seen him for Villarreal or Spain for that exact reason. PL defending does require aggression and strength. Mings hasn't a hope of being able to play RCB either so it's a competitor for his spot at LCB realistically, there is a huge difference in playing RCB or LCB, witness even John Terry's pathetic efforts at RCB in the 2010 WC!


Terry was right-footed.

He couldn't play RCB is the point. Mings won't be able to either.

Given that your case study proves it doesn’t matter which is the stronger foot, why do you think Mings won’t be able to play there? And do you care to hazard a guess on Torres’ suitability as a right-sided centre-back?

Pictures going round of him at Bodymoore in our training kit.

Can you post one?

Is that the first spotting of Monchi there in that photo?

Monchi, and Damian Vidagany in chinos, no idea who the guy right behind  Torres is.

Did you not recommend Tramore to him?

I hope Torres can run faster than he can sign a contract. Wake me up when he signs.
