Ferran Torres signs for Barcelona

[Keeper!]

£55m is good money , plus a £10m sell on clause , should be enough to pay Haalands's agent

You started off well but the last bit is fantasy ;) lol

Matter of opinion really

Grealish dreams of having Ferran's finishing ability, if he had 50% of it, he would he one hell of a player.

I agree - I think we only saw a glimpse. I hope he can find his peak

why?
I don’t get it, he ain’t City

Absolutely, by far his biggest weakness, if Pep and the coaching staff can improve that and he ups his numbers then he will be an elite talent but it’s dreaming now to compare Torres and Grealish in finishing and composure as it stands

I must add that Grealish has many strings in his bow that Torres doesn’t, Grealish is a sponge for players and has that strength and control of the play.
They are completely different players, I’ve said it many times but at the moment he doesn’t score often enough for a front 3 slow, he needs to play deeper until he can improve

True , Alfie Haaland will want a share of the pie

The part where I said Grealish wants to be here and Torres doesn’t isn’t a matter of opinion. And that’s the crucial part of it.

I’m seriously concerned about our lack of squad depth the more I think about it. But that seems to be me only hehe. Moving on...

I hope he's not too hungry, the fat Italian will have had most of it, greedy bastard.

Yep but means nothing. In Spain every player has to have a buy out clause. It's set high to give the club control of the contract. I think this is done to circumnavigate the law. People get their knickers in a twist over this. It's just a technicality...

Funny thing is, it also serves as an 'impossible sum' to deter other clubs from buying their prized assets, and out of nowhere, you have someone like PSG just spunking the cash to buyout Neymar. Thanks to that, we now have 1B release clauses.

You can't blame the lad.

Even though Barcelona are f*cked, every Spanish Footballer wants to play for them or Real Madrid.

Yeah. I'm generalizing here, but seems to me, most Spanish can't resist the allure of Barcelona/Madrid. Probably same goes for most Germans and Bayern Munich. I get the temptation though.

Good luck to him though, Barcelona is a real dumpster fire of a club right now.
