Pau Torres

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?
 
Bit shitty they won't go for Maguire I'm assuming.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Emery is smart and knows that Tyrone Mings is a weak link. Good signing.
 
That’s a great signing for villa, I can see them breaking into top 5 next season if the keep it up.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.

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

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.
 
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.
