Ferran Torres | Signs for Barcelona (see main forum)

[TCIB]

A couple of days old but this made me smile...

"Barca CEO Ferran Reverter travelled to Manchester to open talks with City, as Yuste told Movistar Plus: “Ferran is a great player, like others. We are working with discretion to seek the best for the club.

Yep, very discreet mate. Maybe shout it from the top of the basilica just to hammer home your absolute discretion. Perhaps walk around stark bollock naked with "i love Ferran Torres" inked into your cheeks you shameless shithouse.

One thing that may assist Barca is that whatever wage Torres gets from them is likely to be lower than Sergio’s wages now. They may also get some funds from insurance. There’s no way there isn’t a possibility of a move as otherwise City would have briefed our usual journalists to try and kill off the rumours.

Between me and you guys, I fucking hate barcalona

Don't get ideas above your station TTD because you are not alone on that front :]

Just don't take Dembele in return :(

Yes mentioned the insurance in Sergio's thread given he has 100 million Euro release clause would expect their claim to be somewhere in that ballpark.

Tell em to fuck off. Hes on a long term contract so we have no pressure. If they dont have the money then come back when you do or look elsewhere

 

[ManCitizens.]

If we were trying to buy any of the other similar talents in the Spanish squad (Olmo and Oyarzabal) we’d be quoted 70m. See no reason why we should bend over backwards for them, either pay up or exchange a player we want in return, not some has been like Coutinho.

I find it hilarious that Barca covet so many of our attacking players. Meanwhile none have moved there.

Or Sergi Roberto or any other over rated La Masia player.

Pep, when asked about it.

"It’s not my business, you have to go to Txiki or the agent of Ferran Torres, or Barcelona, I’m not the guy to talk about it. In six years I don't talk about these issues.

"We call some players from other clubs when we are interested, so I completely understand. I would prefer not but it is what it is. We cannot control that and it depends on many, many things."

Yeah certainly sounds like there is a deal there to be made.
