Ferran Torres signs for Barcelona

[Phil1]

Impressive how even on this thread Grealish gets stick! Haha!

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

wonder if it's also partly to do with the losses last year and just covering ourselves off for FFP this year.

Which I think would be a fair point if Torres had been fit but he's missed 17 of our 28 matches this season through injury and didn't play in 4 out of the 11 games he was available. Completed 90mins just twice this season.

Plus we don't know that City won't make moves in January.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

We sell him and buy grealish I just don’t get it.

What's Grealish got to do with Torres wanting to leave?

Correct but he was in the squad for a reason and could have been of use in the second half of the season depending on potential injuries of other players and also in between major later stage UCL games

Frankly, anyone who is not happy at City,best team in the land and all the world, deserves to go down the shitter..no good luck from, me.

I think maybe Phil the bindipper should concentrate on his team of cheats instead of what the CHAMPIONS of England are doing, living rent free in their sad little scouse ‘Ed’s’ aren’t we hahaha

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Good luck to him.
Nothing to do with the deal but doesn't this one sentence show FFP up for the sham it is?

"Barca are able to fund the deal despite their current financial troubles thanks to a recent bank loan."

So owners can't put their hand in their pockets but they can go to the bank and get a loan!

Haha….something tells me we’re giving a few in football enough rope, we always play the long game best.

Sorry to see him leave but despite that this a decent bit of business by the Club.

Remember when all the best players used to play for Barcelona and every other team coveted them. How times have changed !!

I feel like we have been mugged off.

This deal has been put together to suit Barcelona currently "DIRE" financial situation.

They don't have a Pot to piss in.

We are actually only getting pack what we paid for him. With any Gravy on top coming from his appearances over the next few years, when Barcelona might then be a bit better off financially. To give this deal for one of Europe hottest properties at least a bit of respectability.

But we have to accept it is a bi-product of having Barcelona sycophants at the Club.

Barcelona just set a release clause of 1 Billion for him.

Hopefully it opens the door to one of our many promising attacking midfielder youths
