Ferran Torres

Ah I thought he was £30m something! My bad

Yeah Bernardo starting fee £43m. So kind of mind range fee really.

The deal we seemed to have secured for Torres on the other hand seems an absolute steal

No way was it that high

I like him too, for the reasons you have stated.

He does come across as a reasonable bloke. However, a couple of things spring to mind;
Having heard him on podcasts I’m not sure the depth and understanding of his grasp of football analysis, tactics etc is that great, he can come across as hesitant when trying to explain our performances. Maybe that’s just realistic, but it sounds unusual coming from a football journalist/ ‘expert’.
Secondly, in terms of the CAS, didn’t he go and consult some of our biggest critics then give what they said quite an easy ride?

Still not believing it ,it cant be undisclosed but be 45 m,i thought it was £42m ,not that it really matters but @tolmie's hairdoo

He has also written some not so balanced things recently

Do you subscribe to the Athletic then because I‘ve only seen snippets since he moved but they seem okay, but then I never built him up into some great pro City journalist when he was at Goal so never felt let down by him either. Anyhow seem he got the fee right according to Tolmie.

Definitely £42mil was the reported fee, pretty sure it was €50mil and the exchange rate was about 1.2 back then.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

43 million or 45 million, either way it definitely wasn't 70m euros!

I read the athletic bits put on here,he lost his way during the investigation for me and he is not a city fan be is a rag fan and it showed,i have never minded him in the past,it is what it is
