Pau Torres

[SilentWitness]

Villa are going to be strong next season. Can see them winning the ECL.

 

[mitchmouse]

Must say I'm a fan of this guy. he's the one I wanted last year (had never heard of Martinez). I can't find any mention of the fee. Anyone know?

 

[VP89]

Bit shitty they won't go for Maguire I'm assuming.

 

[slored1]

He is pretty good but not enough for a team above the level of Villa. Decent signing but I reckon he will be bullied in the air often. A bit like Lindelof.

 

[bond19821982]

So Mings is now out of favor I guess ? They also have Carlos back from injury .

Torres, Konsa, Mings and Carlos ?
That's a brilliant defence.

 

[flappyjay]

Quietly doing some good business Villa.

 

[cesc's_mullet]

It's a Good Ebening for Villa fans.

 

[united for life]

Great signing for Villa. Great piece of business

 

[Ali Dia]

This lad is very good on the ball. Nice signing it has to be said. The PL is becoming ridiculously overstocked with high earning international players.

 

[Zoo]

Emery is smart and knows that Tyrone Mings is a weak link. Good signing.

 

[sullydnl]

Hell of a signing for Villa.

 

[Real Name]

Why we werent in for him I'll never know.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

That’s a great signing for villa, I can see them breaking into top 5 next season if the keep it up.

 

[Guapa]

Interested to see how he does as I rate him highly and wanted him here a couple seasons ago.Let's see if I know what I'm talking about or if I'm full of it.Lol.

 

[jeepers]

Great signing, huge upgrade on Mings, especially if he settles quickly.

 

[Kag]

Why we werent in for him I'll never know.

Lisandro Martinez didn’t enter your head at all? Strange.

 

[Oranges038]

Why we werent in for him I'll never know.

Because like Big Harry, he's an edge of the box defender. Not good enough for any of the top teams.

 

[ThierryHenry14]

Monchi has left Sevilla for a second time and moved to England to reunite with Unai Emery at Aston Villa as president of football operation. So first brought in Tielemans, and now Paul Torres. Exciting time for Villa next season.

 

[ForeverRed1]

Villa be be tough next season. They will sign a few more yet aswell with Emery as manager, they’ll be no cake walk.

 

[Skills]

Will fit in Aston

Pow Pow

 

[mu4c_20le]

Spanish Lindelof.

 

[Lash]

Pretty much every team in the top 10 is going to be extremely adept at playing out from the back, going to be a high quality league.

He is left footed and worked under Emery before. It is a low risk signing for Aston Villa.

 

[V.O.]

Why we werent in for him I'll never know.

Possibly because we have a brilliant first choice LCB and two very good backup options.

 

[JJ12]

Why we werent in for him I'll never know.

Because we have 2 CBs better than him, how’s that hard to understand.

 

[sullydnl]

Because like Big Harry, he's an edge of the box defender. Not good enough for any of the top teams.

Does that mean he can't play in a high line defence? Because if so it's wrong, as Villareal played with one of the highest defensive lines in La Liga under Emery.

Why we werent in for him I'll never know.

We opted for Martinez over him last summer and a LCB isn't a priority this summer. No more mystery than that.

 

[Lash]

Indeed, and remember he was paired with Albiol and did really well. Mings or Konsa should be good enough as a pairing.

 

[DJ_21]

Mad that we could have signed this guy a few years ago. Now he’s ending up at villa. He mustn’t be that good or he’d have ambitions of being at one of the top teams if he thought he’d get the move.

No other club bid for his service other than Villa, you know. Bayern is interested, but no bid.

I can't find anything to prove that. But, interestingly he plays one of the deepest lines in the league at Villa.

 

[Cassidy]

Because like Big Harry, he's an edge of the box defender. Not good enough for any of the top teams.

He played in a high line under Emery at Villareal

 

[izec]

He is good, but not good enough to start for us. Kim was the one that got away

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

Top signing. His partnership with Carlos will be solid!

 

[tentan]

Should be playing for us

 

[OverratedOpinion]

He looks very good to me. The Premier League just has so much money and he probably wasn't going to end up at Barca or Madrid.

 

[justboy68]

Villa doing some smart business these days. Very good signing for them. You have to expect another strong campaign for them next year competing for the Europa spots.

 

[SATA]

Barca and Madrid usually snap up these Spanish players but they didn’t for him in this case

 

[cesc's_mullet]

Do they have a need for another CB though?

 

[Bojan Djordjic]

Should be playing for us

He's a left centre back and he's not better than Lisandro.

 

[golden_blunder]

Not a bad price. We would have been quoted 75m
