Do we think Vic makes the bench the weekend?

No

Still think we also need a Kelly replacement to be properly covered in this part of the pitch. Good work by the club to only have it leak out when he'd basically already signed.

Robins: "He needs a period of adjustment."

Basically a plea to not treat him the same way as our summer signings.

Welcome Torp!!! Excited to see what he can do.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Good job Todd Kane isn’t around anymore

Ooh. His own hairdresser.

Do we think Vic makes the bench the weekend?

He's Danish not Swedish, I don't think we should be asking him to make furniture.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

He hasn't played for over a month

Doesn't need a rest then.

Lati is good enough to replace Kelly this season in that position. Can see him going out on loan

The inane questions on youtube drive me mad.

No

 

[StrettoBoy]

I can't see him even being on the bench this weekend.

Will we even get the international clearance through in time to register him as our player?

 

[Briles]

Sounds very level headed and ambitious

that interviewer gives me diabetes

Lati, Sheaf and Eccles are all similar types of player. Very solid, good at breaking up the play, but not particularly dynamic.

He would've had very little time with the squad and hasn't played a competitive game in over 5 weeks . Would be very unfair to put him on the bench

The question was regarding cover for Kelly , I think we've got more than enough cover

I wouldn’t call Kelly particularly ‘dynamic’

Absolutely. Think we're pretty set in midfield for this season. Would rather see another wide forward come in.

...nor was I.

Fart in a lift you are

Oh come on! We had to listen to you moan about every single thing the club did for months, let me enjoy your change in tone. It's refreshing

 

[mmttww]

Confirmed ponce.

 

[Evo1883]

I'm down, bit of ATB esc tunage in the stands

I know I said it on the other thread, but it feels so much better signing relatively unknown players from some of the more obscure and untapped leagues.

It is one of a growing number of factors which makes us feel like a proper club, with solid foundations in place.

Even if he is a flop, I don’t imagine his wage demands are astronomical and I doubt he has an ego, which some established Championship players might.

Plus, while league wise it’s a serious step up, his metrics are mega impressive.

I trust our recruitment department.

Imagine what are signings will be like going forward as our data team grows.

Me thinks Doug has been looking at Brighton…

 

[Cally Fedora]

Looks exactly the sort of signing we should be making. Plenty of promise and development potential. Our player on a long term contract. Like it. I am disappointed that the comedic potential available by transferring Torp to the identically sounding taupe remains largely untapped. Hopefully he won’t need to drag us out of the light brown with hues of grey stuff.

Here is Vic unboxing some slip on socks

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Looks like this is his dream move by the way he’s updated his account. Did not have a post since 2021 before this.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Keeping my feet firmly on the ground.

This fella is going to be legend. Can feel it in my bones!

All day long long take a shrewd buy like this than over priced over inflated englishmen. Loving this.

 

[Brylowes]

I’m glad this guy recognised what we miss without Hamer. It does worry me that on some threads there’s a number of fans who think Sheaf, Allen, Eccles and Lati is enough for our CM options. We need more.

Torp seems like he’d be a good signing and exactly the kind of out of the box thinking we need to punch above our weight.

At £2.1 million, it could be a bargain.

This

 

[Tommo1993]

Cringe. Several fans of ours commenting on their twitter. “We’ll keep him safe”, “we’ll look after him”, etc.

WHY DO THEY DO THIS?!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[Martin180]

I think he’s the Hamer replacement but when Gus played deeper prior to the run in last season

 

[hamertime]

And he goes by the name of victor torp!!!!

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

From the stats/videos he looks like the type of player we've been looking for post-Hamer. the high number of turnovers and lower pass completion rate leave me a bit cold, though I am assuming that's because he's trying more attacking forward passes with higher risk.

Have to take into account it has been at a lower standard though so will try and learn from the summer and give him some time to bed in.

Then watch me get annoyed when he gives the ball away twice early on on his debut.
