Very kind of him to speak slowly enough for me to understand (almost) every word. Mas despacio, por favor, the rest of Spain.

He seems worryingly gutted to be leaving.

These new shirts must be heavy:

Monchi looking like he’s walked straight off the set of the good the bad and the ugly

He does! 😂

Welcome Pau, be good.

Bloody hell. Respect to the lad. I'm sure he'll get a very warm welcome from the Villa fans and he'll soon feel right at home.

Can you imagine how he'll be if we lose a game once we show him the love?  Hope he's brilliant, he will be brilliant, I can feel it. 

On 2nd thoughts and having discussed it with a Spanish mate who tells me "Most Spanish players are like that, leave a club - cry...retire - cry. Big babies!"

I don't think you can underestimate Torres status at Villareal, a town of 150k, even Emery was telling the players before the Europa Final they had to win the cup for Pau Torres. Once he's had his first Balti he'll be fine.

this reads like we're paying the release clause but over a longer period of time: "Torres had a release clause of €70m (£60.4m) but it's understood Villa have negotiated terms to suit them paying over a longer period of time, so their initial payment falls below that figure."
I thought we'd just agreed a deal that was well below the asking price (given 1 year left on contract)...

I'd be amazed if we were paying anywhere near that figure.

[Clark W Griswold]

The figures mentioned from the reputable sources say around 33m euros with up to 5m euros add on.

Still waiting for Grealish's video.

Confirmed he'll have Pau on the back of his shirt. We're good to go and sign Ferran then.

[Villatillidie25]

I'd be amazed if we were paying anywhere near that figure.

so would I. just reads like that

Every time I see a picture there's another person in it.

Must be like a wedding. "Just the happy couple first"

"Can we have the sporting director now please?"

[Drummond]

He joins an illustrious list of famous Number 14s....

Andy Townsend, Gary Parker, Alan Wright, Dion Dublin, Neil Tarrant, David Ginola, Marcus Allback, the Djemba twins, Nathan Delfouneso, Brett Holman, Tony Moon, Philippe Senderos, and of course Conor Hourihane.

[Drummond]

The 14th person to have the number 14 in the Premier League era.

[Clampy]

This has gone down rather well so it sounds like he's a good un. Welcome Pau.
