Ferran Torres | Signs for Barcelona (see main forum)

How can this be agreed outside the transfer window?

Because he’s still “injured”. He’s not going to play for us between now and the window opening, so they’ll wrap everything up asap.

very risky to do this in January.

Is it? He hasn't played at all this year and we're bursting with players who aren't strikers. I'd rather see Palmer take his minutes.

That said the fee is still shit.

Barca are desperate for some good news, they wont be able to help themselves to release this one.

First English report I've found.

He should be going for closer to £100m than just £50m.

Seems very, very cheap.

Compared with the prices other clubs receive.

hope there's some bonuses on top of that ..

think this season more than ever it's important to have numbers in the squad. COVID has played a huge part in curtailing Chelsea's title challenge. Could happen to us.

Good luck to him. Sad that he isn't going to fulfil his potential here but we are making a nice profit here :)

I would assume so, LuMartin is fairly close to our board.

€55m + €10m bonuses looks right.

We should ask Ian Darke. He's very good on transfer fees.
