New contract signed today, didn’t say how long for

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

It's official!

 

[TomRad85]

Great news. Excellent player.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

BOOM!

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Fucking love it; can't wait to see him in the PL

 

[Balli001]

He had 2 years left anyway so assume a year added on

 

[Cally Fedora]

Strange one for me. Is it a Bidwell-esque trigger or just a straight contract?

Why is it strange?

 

[standupforcity]

Excellent news...glad his talent and contribution has been recognised...

 

[Cally Fedora]

Why is it strange?

Because I don’t think he’s a PL player. We’re likely to add to Grimes and Onyeka. Don’t see Torp getting lots of game time at all.

Oh because you dont think hes a prem player then its strange that the actual footballing people clearly do

You said Sheaf should play ahead of Torp, how did that work out?

 

[Evo1883]

Nice , good player to have in your squad

Sheaf left. Grimes and Onyeka played ahead of him instead.

 

[David O'Day]

good player and covers 10/8/6 well

Not sure if you’re au fait with forums yet but people post what their opinion is on what the footballing people do.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

He is a great player. A technical ability beyond many others, so when he takes a shot, you expect it has a chance of going in every time.

Hopefully he can make the step up. His contributions this season were brilliant.

 

[robbiethemole]

It’s only the end of May, yet so much negativity from our own fans is really pissing me off

Out of pure technical ability, I'd say he's the closest we have to a prem midfielder.

That doesn't always mean he'll adapt and make the step up but ability wise he's more than capable.

 

[covmark]

Sheaf left. Grimes and Onyeka played ahead of him instead.

But when called upon, made telling contributions to the end of the season. He'll be a decent squad player next year.

I must of dreamt that he started 25 out of 39 games, scoring 10 and assisting 7 then, my bad

Agreed. Technically there has never been an issue. But he’ll be hurried and hassled by prem league midfielders meaning he’ll effectively just be a set piece threat. Good technically with a lot of time.

 

[jto123]

Critical we utilise him on set pieces next season

 

[MTK]

Very happy about this. He made the goal at Blackburn that got us promoted with a brilliant cross. Definitely a player for our Premier League squad

 

[Cally Fedora]

But he did what he does - went missing for a whole chunk mid season. Got some nice goals when all the pressure was off.

 

[stupot07]

I'm not surprised, has the technical ability to excel in the PL, although there are question marks on his athleticism.

 

[StrettoBoy]

I’m pleased about this, as I think he is a very good player.

As with all the players that we had last season it remains to be seen if he will make the step-up to the Premier League. I think he is capable of doing so and, at worst, I believe he will be a good squad player who will likely get a lot of minutes from the bench.

just utter nonsense hahaha

He didn’t go missing, and at that point of the season the whole team were struggling with the amount of games, illness etc

 

[ptr]

Will need him more next year when we are playing in Europe as well.

Seriously though, great signing, some fantastic goals and either way, we are protecting an asset.

 

[SBAndy]

I like Torp but I still think it’s a weird contract extension. Did he only have a year left?

 

[Sick Boy]

Because I don’t think he’s a PL player. We’re likely to add to Grimes and Onyeka. Don’t see Torp getting lots of game time at all.

The longer contract increases his value.

 

[PVA]

I think he may struggle physically in the PL but certainly a good option off the bench and his set piece ability will be needed.

 

[Evo1883]

Yea we are going to need a large capable squad
