The clubs are still 'exchanging documents' so that they can both announce the transfer in an 'official way'. The add-ons relate to a number of factors including goals, international appearances, and trophies won. The player will conduct his medical in Barcelona. [

Don’t want to get sucked in by the highlights reel but he looks very talented albeit a bit raw.

Clearly very talented and exciting player.. a box of tricks and likes to drive towards goal. The tools are there just needs a bit of refinement. Dare I say he looks very similar to Tranny at 20.. even runs / dribbles in a similar way and has a similar physique.

he looks exciting.

I was doing a bit of digging yesterday and he's posted some anti-Real stuff over the last year on twitter. Don't know what the tweets were because they got deleted but I think it's fair to say he wasn't ever sold on a move there.

Don't know if you've seen but Paul Hirst also reported this this morning:

"Perhaps the most important person who influenced Ferran Torres' decision to join Manchester City was David Silva - Torres has agreed to join because his idol is synonymous with the club - he wants to follow in his idol's footsteps and achieve what he has done there.

"Ferran Torres was an avid Valencia fan growing up, and at that time Valencia had a formidable team that included David Villa and Juan Mata - but it was David Silva who he admired the most."

He certainly knows how to charm me, at any rate.

Whatever Silva does after whatever he does after City, it would be good to have him back in this sort of capacity - mixing with youths from the same country, supporting them and generally being an awesome ambassador for City.
Ditto Zaba (what’s he doing now?), Kompany (if management doesn’t work), Aguero and further back Dzeko and Kolarov.

Even if they don't work for us in the future in an official capacity (I'm sure a couple will), the likes of Aguero, Kompany, Dzeko and so on are icons to millions of kids out there and, like Silva with Torres, they will have glowing things to say about the club when asked.

Zaba’s contract at West Ham has just expired. He might feel he still has a year or two left, perhaps in Italy?

I said the exact same about Georgios Samaras !
 
Never watched him so will leave any judgement to those who have, you could create a similar YouTube video for a player like Deulofeu for example I’m sure.

Not that I’m comparing them I’m just not going to take too much from the clips.
 
I've never even heard of him. Lad who works for me is a Brum fan who watches a lot of La Liga and he thinks it's an absolute bargain. Exciting signing by the looks of it
