Pau Torres

Strange that we’ve had best defensive record & won golden glove with such bad selections. Not only that - our rivals want to buy our bad selections. So strange …I
It looks like we are just bad in selecting defenders, that's why we have spent so much on them. Pau Torres is just ass, and am not surprised at all that Pep would want him, Pep really struggles with defenders.
"Complete tit"? Wanna suck ?Utter fùcking nonsense.
Since Guardiola has been here City have either the 1st/2nd best defence every season, you complete tit.

he`s not worse than Ake though is he really? I hope we are aiming higher but as we have seen in the past that causes headaches for game time.
Ake isn't good enough, so why should Torres be?
We need someone coming in to push our other lads to their limits.
If someone is out there and backs himself to do that, we should pay whatever it takes.
I don't see Laporte staying beyond his existing contract at this time, but obviously that could change if he continues to start.

But part of our "best defensive record" is because we play high possession and we win the the ball high up the field, we don't give the ball away to often and we try and win it back as quick as we can. Still strange ?

depends on the mentality of the incoming player though mate? If they are prepared to be patient but still fight for the chance?

The price tag will not be issue, the difficult part is to convince him to join us when he see that CB position is too tough to him to able to play regulary here. He may not want to join because he doesn't want to fight to earn his spot here.
Not only him but any potential CB that join us. We may be interested looking for Ake replacement but that doesn't mean the plan will be smooth as fans think.

There you go! lol. the fact we have been linked over the years makes me think this is likely, especially with the release clause there.

Fair comment, the only time I've seen him was last year and a couple of times in the champions league and he was never convincing. You think there are no better options out there for £50m or so what his release clause is?The exact same could have been said of Laporte in that tournament.He only looked comfortable when he had time and space.
Torres is no Dias,but neither is he the calamity some are claiming.
