Ferran Torres | Signs for Barcelona (see main forum)

[Kirkiep]

I personally have no problem with him leaving I understand the going home aspect we have made a profit
The club will replace him and have a plan to do so
People need to remember this club is no longer being run by idiots (Swales)
In the past 10 years or so we have won multiple trophies and become one of the most successful sides and well run clubs in the world
Happy Xmas blues

Well said and a Happy Christmas to you Sheikh.

I for one will miss the special player that is Ferran Torres.

One of the country's most under rated Forwards.imo.

The lad is special. I mean,who...in the history of Manchester City Football Club..has ever scored an outrageous back-heeled volley,away from home...(Newcastle) One of the best goals I've ever seen anywhere in my life.i just wish I'd been at st James Park that evening to see it.He is a legend.
Moving onto international football..the lad had 12 goals for Spain in 12 consecutive matches...turns up at Mancini,s Italy at home in the Nations cup and scores another two accomplished goals,proper neat centre forward high technique finishes..one a deft header ,for a small lad,placed expertly where the keeper couldn't reach if..the second a cushioned volley directed into the corner...Superb goals to give him 14 goals in 13 consecutive international matches..Altho the Nations cup has been derided by some,both teams took it seriously ,with Italy fiercely protecting their 37 game unbeaten run,on their home patch..it takes a special player to turn up and destroy a Mancini defence in their own back yard,imo.

The real problem for Torres regarding his City career, took place later the same game..it was the little chelsea bastard Italian who crudely stamped on his foot,which gave him the injury which cut him down in his prime.(JorginhoI has form for this,..he did David Silva early doors against Chelsea at Wembley, and should have been sent off then,great player,but a snide dirty twunt)
I think if Ferran had bounced back to City ,on that run of form,things could have been different.

I would have loved to see Pep develop this player into a truly world class Forward.

In my lifetime I've never seen a back heeled volley goal,at any level of football I've played or watched,nor do I recall international strikers going on such long scoring runs...A fantastic player,yes we prob won't 'miss him..but he sure left his mark.
Quality.

Well said mate. Unlucky with his injury, it came at a bad time just as he was fitting into Pep's style. Lots of fixtures coming up with one less forward to call upon. Ultimately Barca have got a great talent at a very good price.

I agree.
I know it's hypothetical but i think if he hadn't got injured, he would be a regular and our top scorer by now and we wouldn't be selling him.
This deal is a shame for us as i think this lad will be a future superstar!

So city rejected Palmer loan to barcode . Looks like he’ll take torres spot but different position?

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

And McAtee is better than both of ‘em ;-)

and still not signed the new contract. shame

McAtee is in the Foden bracket. That off the bench cameo against Everton showed how special he is, had the Everton defence on strings with his fake shots and dribbling. He’s special

sorry mate. stop disrespecting Foden. He is the biggest english talent in many generations. McAtee is a great talent but he is nowhere near being the talent that Foden is.

Apparently in for Jarred Bowen to replace him.

Super, smashing, great
