Ferran Torres signs for Barcelona

Yes I've heard Pep say that, but it still doesn't answer the question.

Perhaps Madrid would have paid 80M and Torres would have been just as happy there!

I'm guessing we don't hawk players round as we don't want that rep with future signings?
We've done alright with how we run things I think, but what do I know!

Well if you couldn't see an intelligent classy player, an ice cool clinical finisher, exciting dribbler with fantastic movement, fair enough but I certainly did. He's scored a significant amount of goals for us and he had a few ruled out for borderline VAR decisions. His goal return for club and country is excellent and for me (again my opinion) no way should he be available for sale so cheap, was he offered to both the Madrid clubs?

I'm not happy he's leaving, but only time will tell if it was a error letting him go, escpecially when we've still not got a striker. I really hope you are right and we're not looking back at the one that got away!

we have players in academy who are better than torres. not bothered at all that he left. in fact I welcome him removing himself from the squad space and making more time for the youngsters. that is ultimately how most people will see it I suspect.

Can Pep, Txiki and Soriano not be conflicted when dealing with Barca? They may work and try their best for city but they will forever be indebted to Barca.

Supposition or known fact ?

Sane we tried to keep. I don’t see the same fight once Barca arrive.

we told them to swivel when they came for Garcia.

It can easily be interpreted this way.

I would like to think the club are taking a long term strategic view with Barca. Maybe we see these deals as a way to soften the stance of a cartel member.

The decent but not extravagant fee for ferran might be the start. Coincide throwing in pique and a legend. Only time will tell when Barca next open their mouths regarding city and FFP.

Pep won’t stand in the way of a player going to Barca. I have a problem with how easily we let them go. Sane we dug in to get a reported 100m fee at the time.Anything cule related I find pep and co all too comfortable in facilitating the transfer.

I don't really get these release clauses. I mean obviously what they're doing is setting it at such a ridiculous level that they get to decide when the sell the player. In that case, why not set it at a trillion euros? Or 100 trillion?

To me it would put me off going somewhere knowing that I'm effectively trapped until my contract expires

I guess we wanted to keep Sane but weren't so bothered about Torres. End of the day we helped facilitate both players to move

So you're not happy with how transfers are conducted at our multiple trophy winning club?
That right?

We wont be putting the money towards signing Haaland.

We wont see a Penny until next year.

Then in installments for the next few years.





And i agree with Ryan :

Yep,its very concerning that we sit at the top of the league while blowing all opposition away.
