From what Ive read:

Strengths - Passing, Long Passing, Positioning, Decent Pace, Intelligent, Covers his partners well

Weaknesses - Not great in the air, not the strongest so could be bullied by attackers, has some errors still in his game
Errrors you say....will fit in perfectly with Sanchez, Dier and Aurier they could take it in turns to make a mistake ?

Following the news from Dan KP earlier about us maybe trying to use Aurier and Sissoko as makeweights, I wonder if this could be one of the options for that. Aurier to them would allow them to shift Foyth inside and get a natural replacement for Torres whilst pocketing the money.

Also, I wonder if the Foyth fee could help us knock down some of the Torres cost too.

I’d wondered this, but perhaps more aimed at Milan, Aurier and Sissoko are known to be on their radar, and maybe a deal could be done for Romagnoli (ball playing LCB like Torres, but also a leader) and Kessie, two players we have also been linked with.

A bunch of internationals you mean?

Everyone of those players played for the county in a major tournament. Some even captained their countries.
This reminds me of an old mate of mine.
Wimbledon fan, back when they existed, who always used to say "we've got a team full of internationals".
We were like "yeah, but for really shit countries!".

Well, it's reported that Torres has a £55m buy-out clause

So this should be done quite quickly then...

... :cautious:

Yeah, definitely waiting for a bigger source to confirm this. Very 'Romero doesn't want to play for Spurs' vibes.

Don't think we'd bid without sounding out the player first.

The thing I find ofd is you normally have an idea if the player wants to join before you bother negotiating.

Surely we do our due diligence on if a player wants the move.

This happened with Kounde too though and was accurate. FFS
