Ferran Torres | Signs for Barcelona (see main forum)

[Damanino]

Also 2 weeks ago there was a clear message that the squad will not be weakened in January (like Txiki assured Pep there is no moves in January), now that means someone is coming in surely? or were that arrogant to think that Torres leaving is not changing anything overall just because he was mostly injured last few weeks?

Would have liked to see him stay, but if he wasn't happy then a move was the right thing to do.

Good luck to the lad for the rest of his career, and well done to City for not standing in his way.

Someone else must be coming in then surely?

The men behind the scenes don’t strike me as arrogant, unless you have evidence otherwise?
Or, you just venting again because we are such a poor run club?

 

[Lavinda Past]

Pity!
Had high hopes for him at City.
His foot injury at the euros was pivotal in him leaving as he never got to prove himself this season.
The only plausible reason for letting him go mid season is that we are replacing him in January and I think Vlahovic is incoming.

Or Harry Kane....

Surprised a relaxed finisher is able to go when we still have a rabbit stuck in headlights on the books. The same happened with Sane. Oh well, if he wanted to go its not good to stand in the guys way. His outside of the boot volleyed finish for spain was sublime.

Good luck to him and the wonder goal in his hat trick at Newcastle will live long in my memory.

shit deal if true.

this club happily paid 130m GBP for both Coutinho and Dembele with bonuses included and guess what Torres will turn out a much better transfer for them than those two.
he will just cement his place in front three for Barca and Spain for years.

have a bad feeling this will be followed by McAtee running down his contract too.

Only then they were awash with cash from Neymar, no one would pay that for them now even if they were still the players/talent they looked. The only players fee that gives them anywhere those values would be Grealish but given the exposure and love for the lad from non city fans that was a mixture of a talent/exposure signing.

Apart from the odd Mangala signing and not fleecing Bayern for Sane I trust our board much more than it seems quite a few do on here.

Hope that ship has fucking sailed!
