Ferran Torres signs for Barcelona

[Gray]

Good luck to him. I only want players who are desperate to play for us.

21 year old teen?

Yes using the Lingard calculator

This and the instalment bit irritates me to no extend.

Yes, Fees are paid in instalments but we would have structured the deal to benefit Barcelona as those cules cant afford to buy a pint of beer right now.

Without going into this cockfight of whether our Spanish contingent at city is Barcelona biased or not, I would just say if the deal was happening the other way around, Barcelona would be more ruthless and remorseless.

If we had to structure the deal to make it happen, then it also benefits us

Good luck fella.

Just another name on the long list of Spainards that have come here and gone "home" soon after.

Do you actually believe that?

You believe that Txiki and Soriano have had one over on Khaldoon and Omar also?

Barca "ruthless"?
LOL. Have you seen the state of their squad, stadium, finances and transfers?

Paying in installments has ZERO impact on how this deal is financed for us.

Same here. I would have quite liked a sell on clause thrown in as well.

Shame for the second time , he ( and sane) will be great players

Sane is a great player. Torres will never be a great player. We’ve done brilliantly out of this deal.

He came, he made a contribution, he had his turned and may have been tapped up. Ultimately if he doesnt want to be here and we make a decent profit its prob best all round. We have a number of players who can play wide/attacking mid or false 9. Hopefully his fee (when we get it) will be reinvested wisely and some of academy players will get a chance to step up.

Good luck to him, on a football level it's a risky move, yes Barca are a huge club but they are in a real hole as a club at the moment, thanks for your contribution.
