Pau Torres

BTW< I'm not stating don't worry, just mentioning an entirely innocent reason a scan might be requested. I'm sure the scan will indicate the leg has fallen off on Monday.

It's a shame Villa don't use the hospital for scans my wife works at. Blues and Walsall do.Villa are Priory Edgbaston.

Doesn't sound like a sweeping endorsement.

Why do you need a scan if it’s just a precaution?

Yes exactly. I had a bit of pain in my heel walking to the ground but I have turned down my own request fo a scan. i am going to sleep it off and he should do the same, elite athlete or not!

I'm pretty sure every player has a scan of some sort after every game they play. Probably after every training session as well.

If they report any sort of discomfort they probably have about six of them as standard.

Fair enough, just my anxiety speaking!

Hang on, Lenglet used to play for Spurs?!

He was on loan with them last season.

The best since McGrath

Laursen / Mellberg?

I think Pau is a better footballer than Laursen and Mellberg but if terms of being defenders the gap is much closer.

[Ger Regan]

He came over to the bench about 10 minutes before half time pointing at his thigh, so on the plus side at least this likely long term injury is a different one

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I think as a defender Torres isn’t in the same league as them and as a ball playing defender they’re not in the same league as Torres.

I think we should credit him for his ability to lead the back line. It’s not just his ball playing that is important. When he’s not there we just aren’t as organized. Everyone looks more assured when he’s playing.

Pau HAS to stay fit for the rest of the season.
If he does, we finish in the top 4, it’s as simple as that.

I should learn to keep my mouth shut !
