It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Re the Ferran Torres stuff - if Barca have reneged on an agreed payment schedule, City would have pushed it to UEFA etc. Not sure why they would do anything different as the supposed Barca leniency isn't actually accurate (we rinsed them for Garcia). Until there is an actual story that they haven't paid when they were meant to, this just feels like people not understanding payment schedules.

This ^. If Barca had reneged on payments we would have gone to UEFA - maybe we have but, more likely Barca have asked for longer to pay and we have agreed with payday loan levels of interest!

Hopefully a fat fee is what he’s got to give us

Pound for pound?

Garcia was a free wasn't he?

Garcia was a free wasn't he?

Yep

.They're both very good, but Rice also has the 'English tax' (which probably added £20m onto his price tag)...

And the 'Aluko Tax' which added £20m (apparently).

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Yep

His point still stands :)

Barca are a sha

Barca Are a shambles
Torres is bang average and they payed a fortune, no wonder they don’t want to pay up

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Personally wouldn’t be surprised if we never signed another player ever again

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Have Barca actually reneged and fallen foul of the agreed payment schedule for Torres?

Seen a poster that @Prestwich_Blue replied to on twitter about city contacting Barcelona over lack of payments.

is there any truth to this?

I think that is unfair. Doubling down and doubling down and getting all sorts of sweeping statements in and then claiming old grudges is not people 'not liking him and never will'.

I am glad to see you back gus, genuinely. But ffs stop digging yourself big holes that lead nowhere, just because someone disagrees or calls out an absurd generic claim. And try avoid blanketing people in your responses, because it just results in others reaponding defensively where they wouldn't otherwise have given a fuck about the initial disagreement.

Exactly.

BrazilianGus back causing havoc haha! just what this thread needed

 

[Blue Smarties]

Not related to us, but Barcelona signing this pudding to partner with Gundo is criminal.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Was just thinking of the amount of central midfielders that are leaving the PL, and is it because we've finally 'broken them' or they are to fed up of running around in circles! ( oc, it could be just the money!)
Henderson, Fabinio, Neves, Xhaka, and more.
I'm not counting Kante, as he could have come home, obviously. :-)

[lol yank]

Love a good reactive transfer window.

Spot on ref Marsh.
The worst part of that shambolic end of the season was the dropping of Tony Towers who that season was outstanding and he was dropped for no other reason than he was a City youngster who had come through the ranks.
We virtually had the league sewn up until we bought Marsh.

Summerbee and Lee said it was the fact he displaced the one dimensional but effective Wyn Davies that was the biggest problem?

 

[richards30]

thank fuck for that! (if true of course) lol

 

[Ajm1985]

Sam Lee is having a decent window

 

[Rammy Blue]

Love a good reactive transfer window.

Jesus wept. Is it that difficult a concept to grasp that we can’t sign a player until we know the one he’s supposed to be potentially replacing is going?
