Yeah, and I reckon Emery would make him a better version than the Man City / Barcelona version.

Absolutely, if Watkins were to go I reckon those 3 with Asensio back as a 10 would be a fantastic attack.

I really hope that behind the scenes we're doing everything we can to sign Asensio. 12-15 million is an absolute steal for a player of his caliber.

Are we meant to hate Wrexham or are they the acceptable face of this Hollywood life?

A handjob is all the butchery brings.

That's sufficient, we are the pigs after all!

I swear we get linked with torres and frlox every window.

If they havent come yet they are likely not coming in future either

You never know. We signed Robbie Keane, eventually.

So then.  So far having had to fire sale some of our best players we’ve let one squad player on loan for the last two seasons go and signed tie more.

Just realised it was Felix. Couldn’t concentrate on TV without figuring it out.

Which would be the striker?

My limited knowledge of Torres is:

1. Guardiola saying he was the best finisher at the club (then playing him on the wing). 
2. At Barca, he’s been in and out of the team but his output per minute is off the scale. 
3. Was homesick whilst at City (as a kid)
4. Random memory of a manager talking about threesomes being normal for footballers whilst Torres was dating his daughter. Luis Enriquez?

I don’t remember watching him much, so unsure where he fits in our system.

Malen and Torres have both played centre forward nearly as much as they have on either wing.
