Allowed himself to get locked to a struggling club....
Noone is paying 1billion euros release clause
Where do Barca get these figures from....paying 55m for a player and then saying suddenly he is worth 842m pounds cause he now plays for them!

Joke of a club

Well if you couldn't see an intelligent classy player, an ice cool clinical finisher, exciting dribbler with fantastic movement, fair enough but I certainly did. He's scored a significant amount of goals for us and he had a few ruled out for borderline VAR decisions. His goal return for club and country is excellent and for me (again my opinion) no way should he be available for sale so cheap, was he offered to both the Madrid clubs?

I'm not happy he's leaving, but only time will tell if it was a error letting him go, escpecially when we've still not got a striker. I really hope you are right and we're not looking back at the one that got away!
 
It's just another part of normal transfer business for the club, and they deemed the fee and deal acceptable.

I think Barca are just another set of self-serving cunts and wouldn't give them the shit from under my shoe, but that is a " sentiment over the business decision " of a supporter and not a seasoned football director.

If the club are happy with the deal, and the player wants to leave then so be it , and good luck to him .

Barca can still go fuck themselves everytime .

I am disappointed that he has left but think City have handled this well. We have got a decent fee and enhanced our reputation as a club that treats players well.

I think Torres has great potential as a striker and showed some great movement earlier this season before his injury. His main issue seemed to be a lack of the "cockiness" demonstrated by the best strikers but, if he kept scoring, this could develop quickly.

It is a real shame that he got injured when he did - he might not have been as amenable to Barce's overtures if he was playing regularly. As it is I can understand why he has been tempted - going to his home country to play for one of the biggest teams in the world and to be able to see his family and girlfriend more often.

I think we are learning that this can be an issue with signing young players from countries with top leagues such as Germany and Spain.

That's a good point actually but it's a fine line between player happiness and ensuring we get the best deal financially

Even after all this time and success we have people questioning the club and decisions they make. Have a bit of faith, they haven’t let us down yet. (On the pitch)

They have all been excellent. The medals and performances are more than enough proof. It does not mean that they don’t want to help out their old club. Garcia free, Kun free, Torres decent fee, you could argue it is on the low side for a 21 Spanish international.

Why are none of our players yearning for juve or Bayern for example. We seem happy to facilite a cule homecoming. At least we have started charging.

He wanted to go, what don't you understand about that!

I don't really get these release clauses. I mean obviously what they're doing is setting it at such a ridiculous level that they get to decide when the sell the player. In that case, why not set it at a trillion euros? Or 100 trillion?
 
I had high hopes for this lad. Showed glimpses of a top player. He is dating Sira Martinez who is Luis Enrique daughter. So I suppose that helped them out when it came to turning his head.
 
You'd think he'd post some sort of 'thank you' before posting that he's a barca player..

Garcia - Shite
Sergio - Out of contract
Torres - Homesick

It's not like we're helping them win La Liga!

You mean like Sane?

Again, Garcia and Kun were both out of contract when they moved. They could have chosen to go anywhere they wanted
 
I’d be more than a bit surprised, and also a bit disappointed if City havnt stuck some kind of deal with Barca here… you can take our only striker off us half way through the season, but we buy Frenkie de Jong ( or some other talent Pep has his eye on) in the summer,….

Blimey in all the years the Barca lads have been here we’ve seen two players or so go the other way, Garcia was an opportunity missed because he wasn’t up to the Prem but Pep liked the lad so got a bit stubborn and we should really have skinned them for a decent fee, Ferran well as much as he has potential we are absolutely stacked with options, the fee is very fair and I wish him well but we’ve done em no favours from my view.

Btw we’ve pretty much let any player go who isn’t into it go from Edin onwards, is it good for the club that’s to be seen but no player it seems ever bad mouths us so that will help massively for player recruitment.
