Pau Torres

Mings can step in.  Obviously.

Barcelona linked.  What valuation would tempt us? 

more than Barcelona could afford I suspect.

The numbers quoted are about what we paid for him, which surely has to be nonsense?  He's thrived in the best league in the world, and is surely now worth a lot more than we paid?

I hope to God he's not sold, but he's Spanish, and this is Barcelona, so you have to think such a move would be quite attractive to him.  Particularly if he still harbours serious international ambitions.

Not as a long term replacement he can’t. It’s not a coincidence our resurgence has coincided with having an in form Torres playing. He makes us a much better side. Ty is a good player, but we’re not as good a team with Torres.

As much as I really like Mings, he’s isn’t really a true replacement for Torres. It means we have to play a different way.

How hard can it be to replace him? Press-resistant quarter-back-capable left-footed centre-backs surely grow on trees, right?

Right?
