I think Torres reads the game well - but his recovery pace and strength doesnt help.  In the CM and CD we havent managed to get a settled team until quite recently which I think is a big part.  I do think Dougie is a big miss

I also think the churn is as much as anything our problem - the fact we have sell - and then have to buy to replace who we sell.  So I think its a team thing as much as anything - we cant keep the ball and "manage" the game as well as we could for large parts of last season. 

With Pau specifically, I dont have a huge issue - my only frustration is there are maybe 3 or 4 times where Mings has been better suited but hasnt played.

Torres is heavier than Mings by 3kg. Given there's nothing too any of them fat wise, that's lean muscle mass. Torres is marginally shorter too; 1.91m v 1.96m.



I'm not having it, that's like Shay Given being 6ft 2.

Shay Given has a small man's face, no doubt there.

I got in a lift with him at the Mailbox once, I'm bang on 6ft and I was taller than him.

Pity the fools who are under 6ft tall.

But you still wear stacked heel loafers from your disco glamrock days.

What about if you're six feet on one leg and five eleven and a half on the other?
