Ferran Torres | Signs for Barcelona (see main forum)

[FantasyIreland]

Cracking deal......we have a player that we don't need off the books,for a respectable price,and the opportunity to fill his shirt with a player we do need and who wants to be here.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Sancho went for £73m but factor in the numbers he was putting up and the games he was getting, Ferran nowhere near that and hence the price tag dictates it's decent profit. I do think we could have gotten more though.

Numbers he was putting up in the Bundesliga. To counter I could say compare their international records...

However, I agree there's a positive in that we've made a profit and he's not a starting player for us. But we definitely should've got more for him as he's got very high potential.

£55m for him is a very good deal I reckon. He'll probably smash it in Spain and good luck to him, I'm sure we'll just reinvest that money into buying somebody who'll suit us more and be more valuable to the squad.

Was more gutted when Sane left!

Is our squad weaker without a player that has been out for 3 months and none of us noticed? idk, I reckon we'll be alright.

How much did Sancho go for? That should've been the minimum we'd accept for Torres.

The Sancho we saw at Dortmund was far better than the Torres we're seeing now. Sancho was one of Dortmund's best players, Ferran has largely been anonymous during his time here.

So it's effectively £53m+£2m for those bothered about the finances of the deal.

Well given Barca are refusing to play certain players at the moment as it means they'd need to pay out on add-ons and such I don't believe that for a second, sadly.

English player premium. If there weren't any English clubs in for him and it was a battle between Real Madrid and Bayern 70 mil would be absolute ceiling.

Goodbye & good luck to the lad!
