Grealish dreams of having Ferran's finishing ability, if he had 50% of it, he would he one hell of a player.

Absolutely, by far his biggest weakness, if Pep and the coaching staff can improve that and he ups his numbers then he will be an elite talent but it’s dreaming now to compare Torres and Grealish in finishing and composure as it stands

I must add that Grealish has many strings in his bow that Torres doesn’t, Grealish is a sponge for players and has that strength and control of the play.
They are completely different players, I’ve said it many times but at the moment he doesn’t score often enough for a front 3 slow, he needs to play deeper until he can improve

I’m seriously concerned about our lack of squad depth the more I think about it. But that seems to be me only hehe. Moving on...

Yep but means nothing. In Spain every player has to have a buy out clause. It's set high to give the club control of the contract. I think this is done to circumnavigate the law. People get their knickers in a twist over this. It's just a technicality...

Funny thing is, it also serves as an 'impossible sum' to deter other clubs from buying their prized assets, and out of nowhere, you have someone like PSG just spunking the cash to buyout Neymar. Thanks to that, we now have 1B release clauses.

You can't blame the lad.

Even though Barcelona are f*cked, every Spanish Footballer wants to play for them or Real Madrid.

Yeah. I'm generalizing here, but seems to me, most Spanish can't resist the allure of Barcelona/Madrid. Probably same goes for most Germans and Bayern Munich. I get the temptation though.

Good luck to him though, Barcelona is a real dumpster fire of a club right now.

This is why not introducing academy talents when the perfect opportunity arises makes no sense.We have 3 or 4 that,given the encouragement,could make up any insufficiencies.

Good luck to Ferran BTW.

Great business all round.
 
Being a Billion in debt doesn't seem to have dampened Barca's desire to buy as many of our players as they can ... Aguero, Garcia, Ferran ... also tried to tempt Bernardo & Laporte.
 
I find it a little crazy that neither him or his 'team' thought to post a single 'thank you' to the club/fans.

City would have been WELL within their rights to say no way to his move.

I thought it was a little odd too as everyone seams to do that these days. You would have thought, if nothing else, he would have said thanks to his fellow teams members as he did appear to like some of them. Maybe he did it all in private. I am sorry he has gone though, would have liked to see him develop here but if he wanted out and back home fair enough I suppose.
 
I do a roll in work where a new starter has a day with me .. I walk them through the plant show them where all the facilities are joining a union , private health scheme etc.. within the first hour you know if this person will stay and go through the training and build up a career or… just use us to put the title on his or her CV .This kid was never ever staying with us I thought this from day one . I’ve seen this with the silence they bring . I wish him all the best but unfortunately I think there’ll be post in a couple of years time asking what become of him.
