Ferran Torres | Signs for Barcelona (see main forum)

[Sir peace frog]

Incredible the amount of 'generational' talents there are around at the moment.

It's almost as if it's a stupid fucking buzz phrase that people use when they describe good players with potential.

Gets on my tits, people using that phrase want to come across as knowledgeable, when really they come across as a bit of a twitter twat :)

Errm, that's strange, why would playing for us equate to holding a player back?

It's not because our club policy is not holding player back if they want to move, just like Bernardo Silva request to transfer and our club grant his wishes to move last transfer windows. Fortunately he didn't get his wishes because other club didn't meet their valuation for him, Bernardo can't blame our Club because we atleast tried to offer him and not trying to be a **** by blocking his transfer request.

The most important thing don't be a **** and create a very unhappy player that will leads to terrible performance for the club. Bernardo being very happy right now playing for us is because our club is very supportive for him so far even if the player itself wants the move and because of that he will never blame City for his failed transfer request.

I agree with this, look at Kane in comparison!

A top tier club like us does not give a shit about holding a player. No player is bigger than the club that’s the point. So if a player wants to leave we say meet our valuation and byeee.

 

[sir baconface]

Is our squad weaker without a player that has been out for 3 months and none of us noticed?

Quite possibly, if you think long term.

Understood though and I’m in two minds myself. He hasn‘t shown he’s indispensable to us and yet his Spain performances suggest he could become a biggy. Who knows?

Will be interesting to see how we use the money.

Can't really blame the lad for wanting to go but it does leave a slightly bad taste. Mind u 50m will get rid of that. I always thought he was a unnecessary signing

Took out a bank loan and I did read they had to sell players also to meet FFP.
Good move for us as it seems he wanted to go.

foolish on the bank

They have refinanced, and LaLiga realised they have clamped down far too hard on all the Spanish clubs, particularly Barca/Real, its killing Laliga

in other words they clamped on the two big boys

Very much but it's backfired and completely destroyed the league.

I'll be honest, not really kept tabs on la liga this season
