Still think we also need a Kelly replacement to be properly covered in this part of the pitch. Good work by the club to only have it leak out when he'd basically already signed.

Basically a plea to not treat him the same way as our summer signings.

Welcome Torp!!! Excited to see what he can do.

He's Danish not Swedish, I don't think we should be asking him to make furniture.

Lati is good enough to replace Kelly this season in that position. Can see him going out on loan

I can't see him even being on the bench this weekend.

Will we even get the international clearance through in time to register him as our player?

Lati, Sheaf and Eccles are all similar types of player. Very solid, good at breaking up the play, but not particularly dynamic.

He would've had very little time with the squad and hasn't played a competitive game in over 5 weeks . Would be very unfair to put him on the bench

The question was regarding cover for Kelly , I think we've got more than enough cover

Absolutely. Think we're pretty set in midfield for this season. Would rather see another wide forward come in.

I know I said it on the other thread, but it feels so much better signing relatively unknown players from some of the more obscure and untapped leagues.

It is one of a growing number of factors which makes us feel like a proper club, with solid foundations in place.

Even if he is a flop, I don’t imagine his wage demands are astronomical and I doubt he has an ego, which some established Championship players might.

Plus, while league wise it’s a serious step up, his metrics are mega impressive.

Imagine what are signings will be like going forward as our data team grows.

Me thinks Doug has been looking at Brighton…

Looks exactly the sort of signing we should be making. Plenty of promise and development potential. Our player on a long term contract. Like it. I am disappointed that the comedic potential available by transferring Torp to the identically sounding taupe remains largely untapped. Hopefully he won’t need to drag us out of the light brown with hues of grey stuff.

I’m glad this guy recognised what we miss without Hamer. It does worry me that on some threads there’s a number of fans who think Sheaf, Allen, Eccles and Lati is enough for our CM options. We need more.

Torp seems like he’d be a good signing and exactly the kind of out of the box thinking we need to punch above our weight.

At £2.1 million, it could be a bargain.

Cringe. Several fans of ours commenting on their twitter. “We’ll keep him safe”, “we’ll look after him”, etc.

WHY DO THEY DO THIS?!

From the stats/videos he looks like the type of player we've been looking for post-Hamer. the high number of turnovers and lower pass completion rate leave me a bit cold, though I am assuming that's because he's trying more attacking forward passes with higher risk.

Have to take into account it has been at a lower standard though so will try and learn from the summer and give him some time to bed in.

Then watch me get annoyed when he gives the ball away twice early on on his debut.
