Just a fantastic signing from Austin and the team, and a real sign of what good coaching can do to a player. He is worth eight figures comfortably at this stage but we’re obviously not selling anyone before next summer at the earliest.
Torp himself deserves a lot of credit for adapting to a new country and league so quickly. Didn’t really take much time to settle at all.

Yet another player who proved the same few on here wrong

I think this is one of the cases where Robins weren't entirely sure what kind of player he was. I listened to an interview with Lampard, where he asked Torp where he played, and he was saying he's like a number 8/10 - and Lampard pretty much told him he wasn't, and that he'd be a no 6.
Different managers see different attributes, and in the case of Torp, its been Lampard's values that have seen Torp's incredible development.

What? He plays number 8 and 10 for us?

He's 26, so won't get the 'potential' premium. Realistic value between 5-8 but considering his current form and importance, I wouldn't want him going for anything less than stupid money.

Torp Plays a lot deeper alongside Grimes. Thats not to say that he doesn't go forward.

He is 100% not a number 6.

If i was to quote Football Manager roles.... he'd be a Segunda Volante..
He's the Link between Grimes and AM

Yes... a number 8.

I'm just saying what Lampard said. His starting position is alongside Grimes. Grimes usually starts our attacking phase in between the Centre halves.

He’s one where Lampard and his staff have made a big difference.

Style of play and eye for goal not dissimilar to Frank's in his playing days actually

If we sell him to Wrexham we could get £42 million for him.

Yeh they play him.
He’s always shown quality. But Robins had it in his head that Torp could only play for 60 minutes!

I’m glad you’re not in charge of negotiating transfer fees!
We won’t sell him because he’s too important to the team. In any case, you’d be stupid to sell for anything less that £10-15m for him.
The underlying data from last season suggested that Torp could be a top performing CM.

Most of the forum was happy for Wilson to start in goal

So am I!
Exactly, right now, I wouldn't sell him for anything less than a Championship record. He's vital, is in the top 5 performing players in the league and one of the top scorers.
Taking my Sky Blue tinted glasses off. Realistically, is anyone going to spent 15mil on a 26 year old with 3 months of unbelievable form? No. End of the season and he's continued this form, 8 figures.
Fair play to Torp. He was getting pelters for various things. Ability to last matches, lack of physicality, lack of pace, inconsistency and injury record.
He only had a proper pre season in the summer just gone and FL has found his best position. He’s adapted to the physical aspects of the Champ now. Injury record is a bit suspect but could also be bad luck. Pace wise, he looks ok to me and not many CMs are particularly quick anyway.
Then there’s the technique, eye for a pass, 2 great feet, good in the air and the goals as well. Mint player. You don’t see big fees for CMs at his age in the Champ but if he keeps the numbers up, who knows. Don’t want us to sell him though.

A free kick within 25 yards is basically a penalty for him too.

No didn't he join us at the start of their pre season and during our season?
