Pau Torres

[AV84]

Aston Villa defender Pau Torres is a target for Manchester United, who are prepared to offer close to £42m for the 27-year-old Spain defender. (Fichajes - in Spanish)

That's how you know he played a blinder on Wednesday.

[PaulWinch again]

Everything about that is laughable.

[Garyth]

They’d have to double it for it even be considered, even then I imagine Emery, when it was mentioned, would just raise an eyebrow and have a quiet laugh before turning back to analysis of some team we might possibly face in a few months time.

Back in the day we would have been crapping ourselves knowing it would happen
Today ( I hope) we can laugh it off, as they want, everybody.

£42M?!? What is this, April 1st? You can whack that price right up.

[Rigadon]

Haha.

[TelfordVilla]

When I saw that I genuinely laughed out loud. What imbecile actually thought this could be a deal.

[andyh]

Wow,  what a shock !!
On the very day we play them too.

[Brend'Watkins]

They could have at least made it appear more believable.

That made me laugh far more than it should have done!

[john e]

Torres and Martinez are the 2 players we have that could start in any team in the world

[AV84]

Even just the fact that Torres left the club he'd been at for his whole life, to join Emery specifically, rather than Aston Villa, or a team in the Premier League, makes the whole thing sound ridiculous. Never mind the price, or the fact they're shit.

[PeterWithe]

Well I never, a story that Manchester United want to buy/unsettle one of our players on the very day we play them. Stop me if you've heard this one before.

Yeah.  He'll be a key component of the Gareth Southgate/Thomas Frank rebuilding job there.

Torres plays a different sport to the joyless dirge that pair serve up.

Poor showing for Fulham goal
