At least we will get a chance to wear them Viking hats now I’ve always wanted an excuse.

 

[wingy]

Full regalia on temu.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

On a Norwegian site Torp is listed as 6ft.

How high are his heels?

How high are his heels?

No more than Doug's I'd wager!

 

[Calista]

I bet he enjoyed watching his new club for the first time.

 

[GaryJones]

It probably blew him away - 30,000 3-1 win he is thinking “this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me but how do I get into this side”

 

[The CableGuy]

If Vic had any doubts about the project he's joined, they were blown away today. Full house rocking and the team rocked with them.

 

[itsabuzzard]

Anyone else think he looks a bit like David Bowie?

Only if David Bowie had put his head through a mangler.

He's gonna have to work his socks off which is the way it should be

 

[Calista]

Only if David Bowie had put his head through a mangler.

In which case his brain would hurt like a warehouse.

 

[long way home]

He has some catching up to do, but if he cant get up to want to be a part of squad and this club after today he shouldn't be here. If he is the player he looks he fits into what we want, he should feel like he just won the lottery.

Training will be fun this week, players will be hard to hold down and all are busting a bollock to be a starter.

 

[SkyblueDad]

He has trained and apparently the business, sub next week at Sheffield Wednesday, debut same place in the FA cup the next week.

Did Torp sign a five years contract?

4 and a half

 

[SBT]

I wouldn’t put him in the side over Eccles until I actually see him play. Very good yet again yesterday.

 

[the rumpo kid]

And a queer threw up at the site of that

4 and a half

 

[Evo1883]

"I've heard good things about the fans "

Watching the final 20 minutes and post match antics

If he is the sort Robins says , we could have unlocked them far sooner yesterday

This is what Robins has said:

“He is a versatile player who can play across the midfield area, but predominantly central, and is technically adept too with pace and energy. He’s a young player with loads of ability. And I think the supporters are going to love him, so there’s a lot of quality there.”

Well, that’s what he said about Yasin Ayari, anyway. My point is, there’s a lot of excitement about the kid and for good reason. But he has a lot to prove and he has to show it first - far more experienced/established players would struggle to break into this side at the moment.

Hopefully he gets a good 45 at Wednesday in the cup

How do you see him play then !

Did you see him at the press conference smiling and waving and looking so fine?

 

[fatso]

It's a great time for Torp to join the club, the atmosphere around training this week will be amazing.

 

[the rumpo kid]

When asked about his time in Norway he said "it was cold and it rained and I felt like an actor"

 

[the rumpo kid]

I'll get me coat.

 

[itsabuzzard]

This could go on for some time...

 

[the rumpo kid]

And his time in Denmark, he replied " I thought of ma and wanted to get back there"



Last one I promise

He definitely goes in for Eccles - Sheaf is the better player and he’s not replacing O’Hare

Yes they were effective yesterday but more often than not both Sheaf and Eccles in the team is too defensive, and they are very similar players, with Sheaf having the edge in defence, strength and progressive forward play….

I would imagine after a short while Eccles will be a Sheaf back up

Trouble wasn't skill levels for Ayari it was getting up to pace with the championship. He'd only played 30 odd games of men's football. Must have been a bit of a shock to his system.

Torp will have to adjust but has a lot more experience of 1st team football. Glad we have options so we can bed him in gradually.

In fairness to Ayari there’s certainly a player there his 20 minutes v Norwich was outstanding but we need more than polishing up someone else’s one day star we are beyond that now. but good luck to him.

 

[oscillatewildly]

A song for him's gonna be difficult - His surname may as well be 'Orange' or 'Silver' for all I can think of anything rhyming with 'Torp'.
Rob?

Yes, only 9 goals in the last two games. Just think how many it might have been otherwise.

Have you seen our current form and goals for and against?
Sheaf and Eccles is working perfectly fine

After he'd put pen to paper and shaken MR's hand, he was so overcome with emotion that he cried so much his face was wet.

No more from me.
