Remembered by who?

I don't care how he is remembered in Spain, or Taiwan, or Indonesia.

Around these parts, he's an ex utd player.

When CRonaldo retires, even if he came to City for two years and won us the CL, I’d still think of him as a Madrid legend first and foremost.

But messi’s wage was no problem last summer

Yea but that was the "special" money

we had ques of sponsors wanting to pay him and us lol

One game against a dreadful Newcastle. He just doesn’t look like a centre forward to me.

This team needs and deserves a striker of the Lukaku, Lewandowski, Kane, Ronaldo, Haaland level. Torres is nowhere near that, nor do I think he ever will be.

At the very least we need a reliable goal scorer, Ings would have been decent enough given how many chances we create.

You're arguing two different points here. I'm 100% in agreement that we need a striker, I just picked up on your point about Torres not being a good finisher, which I respectfully disagreed with

The trick here is getting him on something like a 1+1 deal.

We can't be paying his insane wages for even 1 season more than he is useful.


Remove who he used to play for from the equation and I think this could be a very good short term deal.

Not only will he score plenty of goals, the guy dragged that Madrid side to multiple Champions league titles through what felt like pure refusal to lose, and his work ethic, professionalism and dedication to the sport cannot be questioned.

There's a lot of players in this squad who could learn a lot from him. I mentioned Ferran yesterday, but Sterling is another, Jesus too. I think older players like KDB could learn a lot by seeing how hes managed to keep playing at the top level into his late 30s by being in incredible shape.

And if some of his arrogance and self belief rubbed off on the rest of the squad it would be well worth the money. The players don't carry themselves like the best team in Europe in big games, and that hurts us at times. We often seem brittle when things go against us instead of acting like its just a speed bump on the way to winning.

However if we give him a 3 year contract or something and end up paying him to sit on the bench then its going to be a massive waste of money (which we then won't have to spend elsewhere).

If he expect to continue to earn his Juve money , I hope we walk away.

If he wants to come to us to PLAY in the PL , then come for the football and not the money.

Yeah, if he's that desperate to want out of Juve he should be taking a pay cut, he's 36 as well.

 

[Centurions]

As objectively as you can answer, if he was going to some other team in the Premier League, how do you think he will do?

I think he'd stink the house out at Burnley.

TBF, that wouldn't really be his fault.

 

[Dribble]

She's still been on a good time previously with your dad though. Nothing can change that!!!

ManUre ARE NOT City's Daddy! They're our bitter enemy bruv. Lol :-)

Torres is a great finisher but that's only 1 part of a strikers skill set and he lacks all the others.

If we are going to make him a striker its going to be a long, difficult process.

Still in incredible shape and condition but he is NOT that guy anymore.
