Ferran Torres | Signs for Barcelona (see main forum)

[LangleyBlue1970]

I realise that I’m just waiting for Barca to show us something to our advantage that isn’t the Gamper trophy.

How about £55m??

 

[Keeper!]

It’s the right price. It’s right because the player wants the life, he’s no use to us like that and we double our money.

Helps relations for future deals with players of theirs we might want as well. This isn’t amateur hour anymore.

Same people saying we won't miss him are moaning we are only getting 50 plus million, Txiki can't win!

1.) I thought they are skint.

2.) Didn't La Liga place a transfer embargo on them?

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.

No doubt Barca will insert a ridiculous £500m release clause in his contract!

I think it's a brilliant bit of business, we're doing fine without him and he wasn't always first name on the team sheet.

Throw in the fact we got a profit of 30m on a player in 12 months and 55m to put towards a fee if we decide to pursue a player in January then I think we've played a blinder.

And I'll just leave this here and that is the Bundesliga has started it's winter break now, next games start up again on January 7th. A certain centre forward has a release clause that can be activated in January doesn't he?

Just saying ;)

Very good player and no doubt will go on to be even better but these things happen and Barca get one of our players again.. Good bit of business from us though.

 

[Blue and true]

The Palmer replacement talk is too idealistic. We need, need, need a centre forward. There's only too long Pep (as brilliant as he is) will get away with these false 9 experiments. I sound like a broken record, but Haaland is the final component of us becoming an unstoppable machine.

On Torres; good luck to him. The way he started the season, I believed he was going to become our brightest of stars. But several circumstances conspired and it wasn't to be. He'll do great in Spain.

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

 

[M Gaudino]

Compared with the prices other clubs receive.

£100m!! Grealish was that and he’s far more proven.

Torres has done fuck all yet. been much mich better for Spain than us

fair price get over it. we can’t keep this team together forever - a healthy squad is one that constantly loses players and brings new ones in

Jesus Sterling cough cough

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Just remembering we paid less to bring the likes of Bernardo, Sergio, David Silva to the club. Good player but nothing more, I wish him well

 

[Agueroooo9320]

Except Torres would most certainly have been the main "False 9" if he wasn't injured.

Certainly wouldn't be any Grealish cameos there.

Don't make it out that Palmer has taken the minutes Torres would have gotten because he's done nothing of the sort.

no he won't he makes our team play far worse when he is on the pitch. I bet pep will play the flase 9 instead of torres in any game of significance
