Impressive debut and a wonder goal, that won't do his confidence any harm.

I'm not getting carried away but it's a great start.

His forward play looks good but he has some work to do to get up to speed with the Championship.

I can see him being another divisive player, sending this forum into meltdown plenty of times

Very happy with the signing.

In honour of the disagreement with hitherto song choices, I have made a song about making a song for Torp.

To the tune of Ghost Riders in the Sky

Victor Torp went to the CBS one dark and windy day
At the Sky Blue Tavern he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty gang of red eyed SBT members he saw
A ploughing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Their typing fingers were still on fire and their tin foil helmets looked like steel
They were still arguing with slowpoke
Who said that at 40mil Udogie was a steal
A bolt of fear went through him as he heard the first words of his new song
He saw the SBT cogs turning hard, and new it was so wrong.

Yippie-i-ay Yippie-i-oh
Ghost SBT fans in the sky

Yippie-i-ay (Yippie-i-ay)
Yippie-i-oh (Yippie-i-oh)
Ghost SBT fans the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their DHgate shirts all soaked with sweat
They're thinkin hard to write that song but they ain't penned it yet
'Cause they've got to argue forever in the forum up in the sky
With laptops spewing fire. As they type hard, hear them cry

Yippie-i-ay Yippie-i-oh
Ghost SBT fans in the sky (in the sky)
Villa sing that, hate it

He's composed on the ball, his technique is great and you can tell he's going to fit into our style. A bit rusty but that was to be expected, when he's up to speed he'll be brilliant. Yet to be won over by his song though.
Having slept on it, and in the cold light of day, I've changed my mind.

It's absolutely wank.

I think we can see the qualities Torp will bring, for someone that hasn't played English Football and whose last game was about 30 days ago, Torp showed real calmness on and off the ball, there was no nerves and he looked a player that was sure of himself. He started relatively slow and it's understandable for a player debuting in English football and not being 100% match fit.

The thing that stood out for me regarding Torp was his technique, even on that brief performance tonight when you compare him to the midfielders playing for Sheffield Wednesday, he looked a step above them and they are all Championship midfielders with bags of experience. I feel we have a real talent on our hands.
Agreed, and top marks to the scouting team for picking out someone we'd not heard much about, who looks like he could be an answer to the gap left by Gus.

Thought he'd got a lot of Sheaf's qualities in terms of composure on the ball. Different style to Hamer, but seems a good replacement based on the one performance.

I like what I have seen so far! Needs to get up to speed of championship play I will be interested to see how he is when we play a proper championship club. I think he will become our main corner taker as well

Think that’s a given to be honest, and probably one of the attribute factors we signed him for. In the warm up v Wednesday for the league game he was practicing free kicks and each time applied the “Ronaldo dip”. Can see he’s a specialist and I suspect will battle it out with MVE for free kick duties too.

He looks the part and I imagine will be a starter in a few games. Harsh on Eccles who has been excellent this season.

They will rotate and it’s great to have the option to do so.

I have never known us to be in such a precarious position. It’s one I think we will struggle to get out of.
We have lost our 2 main songs and we are no where near with acceptable replacements.
Despite about a dozen new faces I’m really disappointed with our weak efforts to welcome them by song.
Come on you melodic City fans, start hitting those high notes.

To the tune of lord of the dance

Torp, Torp, plays for the city
They make lego in his home country
Doug signed him from a club in Norway
And he'll lead us all to the prem one day

Still think something that uses the Lego line from this would be the way to go. Just makes me laugh.

Torp, Torp, wherever you may be.
They make Lego in your home country.
You look a bit like David Bowie.
In midfield for the Coventry.

If that doesn't take, I'm just going to start the Baby Shark one to piss people off. Starting on Tue night...
