Ferran Torres | Signs for Barcelona (see main forum)

[Cobwebcat]

Who knows what goes on though? As far fetched as it seems the clubs may have agreed to this now on the promise they don’t go for Haaland. Like I said, this is how the big clubs do business. We are long gone from negotiating a million pound for Jamie Bollock.

I can’t see Barca affording Haaland but the reason could become clearer soon. With the little I can see right now I would have rejected the offer at least for 6 months but we shall see.

Never keep a player who doesn't want to be here. Ever.
Get the best price possible (in this case i think its a very good price) , wish him well and move on

The Palmer replacement talk is too idealistic. We need, need, need a centre forward. There's only too long Pep (as brilliant as he is) will get away with these false 9 experiments. I sound like a broken record, but Haaland is the final component of us becoming an unstoppable machine.

On Torres; good luck to him. The way he started the season, I believed he was going to become our brightest of stars. But several circumstances conspired and it wasn't to be. He'll do great in Spain.

We have been playing a false 9 mostly for the last 1.5 years, and have been extremely successful with it.

We don't need to buy anyone this January (Ferran rarely featured this season), but the club will be patient and buy in summer when they can properly make a deal.

People make false 9 seem worse than it is, another name id shout is Jonathan David (not just because I'm Canadian).

Where are Barca pulling the money from and why aren’t uefa getting involved as surely their debt is huge and possibly breaking the ffp rules,it’s disgraceful when you think the bullshit we have faced fighting ffp..

I believe they still owe large amounts of transfer fees, so Not sure if they will actually hand anything over.

Is he really worth more than £50m?
Concensus seems to be its significantly too little but really?

Wowwww dry bummed again will we ever learn.

He actually becomes our all-time record sale.

It's a decent fee in an environment where not too many clubs are willing to pay £55m for anybody at present.

He was only ever going to move to another club in Spain at some point, so take the money while we can.

I blame the rain.

The irony being, it hasn't rained for over a week until tonight, when the news broke today.
