Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

Will be interesting to see if we get a replacement. Wouldn’t be surprised if we went back to false 9 if the big man needs a break. Bobb, Savinho coming off the wing, Foden inbetween the lines - could be awesome

I hope so, because it will give players like Bobb and Mcatee a decent chance to have more minutes.

Ivan Toney wouid be a decent back up

That Torres Money was never to be seen

It was/is being paid in installments

For our owners it's not about cash flow more about accounting in other words it doesn't matter if they pay it slowly over the length of Torres's contract with them the figures still effect our balance sheet.

A week before the season? Our hand clearly forced by player and buying club - difficult - but we should foresee this and plan accordingly or head it off at the pass. For a club of our supposed stature and success, we don't half look unprepared at times. That said, the club have been out maneuvered, easily done at the price offered I suppose, but the money is a consolation, granted. Just disappointed Mate. No news or deflating news after deflating news recently.

Apparently we’re ‘cooking the books’ with this fee hahahahahahahahaha.
Not forgetting that Alvarez is ‘jumping ship because he knows what’s coming’ as well lol

Brilliant deal for us this, and for Alvarez, and I wish him well
