Torres is a shade better than Tapsoba imo. Similar ability in the air though Tapsoba is more aggressive, both reserved about when they attack the ball. Think Torres has improved a lot physically the last 2 years, his positioning is very smart when team is in possession and would be a good partner for Romero I think. Torres is really good at defending set pieces aerially, a lot better than Tapsoba, Vdv, Kilman, most guys we've been linked to really except for Bremer. And in possession he's one of the best cb's in the sport. Just a very underrated player, who yes, can be outmuscled at times and will cough up the odd goal. But adds way more than he takes away. Tapsoba would cost us more goals per season than Torres imo, much flaking defender. Tapsoba has him beat for pace and aggression, but I think after a month or two of him playing for Villa most people will think we should have signed him. (Still think he could end up at Bayern, if they sell L Hernandez.)
