Joao Cancelo | Al Hilal Player

Don't care if they can't actually afford it, if they sign the contract saying they'll pay us, it's a win-win. Either they pay on time or the sanctions ruin them and we get the money in the end anyway.

He'd been out injured 3 months when we sold him, it was a great price.

We might not get the money if the sanctions kick in.

Maybe not, if they're paying on the drip as has been suggested on here

Thats how I viewed it.

Pep's team is Barca,come on now everyone,remember this.

He needs and wants to benefit City first,of course,but Barca come a close second,money or no money,simple as that

dont think they are too thrilled with ferran, same for garcia

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

I have also agreed to personal terms with Barca. I'm awaiting their bid to City for my services.

Let me try to summarise for everybody.

Barcelona definitely DO still us some money for Torres because they are paying in instalments. So it is true to say that.

The question is whether they are overdue with the payments. I am not sure anyone knows that. The 2022 Barca accounts show that they should have paid 12 million before June 2023. Did they actually pay that? No idea. They probably did, or they could have negotiated later payment. We will know when they issue the 2023 accounts.

Unless I have missed something.

Castle imo would be a good fit for him, they need something as a LB , CL experience, their LB is Dan Burn he will be turned into a joke in CL games, Cancelo aint a top defender either but going forward he adds power. 30m Castle could easily afford probably harder part is salary and if him and his family wants to live there. :)
and we would see the money before 2075 unlike with Barca for a lesser fee.

Strikes me as the type who thinks they’re beneath him.

Not may would have been to be fair, especially the latter,he was fucking hopeless

Here's the explanation for Torres' Barca payments, straight from their own accounts. "Favourable" repayment terms, but most agreed a pretty good price.

 

[Galvanoth]

fallouts with top managers at two separate clubs in the same season

DIdn't hear about any fallout with other manager besided Pep last season?Only heard Tuchel and Nagelsmann saying good things about him and vice-versa.

What are you guys on about ??.. Barcelona started building the Sagrada Familia in 1882 and it is still not finished so what do you expect for Torres ?? In fact there was this guy FC Barca who used to post who got robbed on Las Ramblas and lost his last few last few Euros whilst extolling the virtues online of some player called Garcia who was going to be the world's greatest CB..My advice is to steer clear of that city and any financial commitment..Txiki should know this.

More money that disappears before your very eyes ;)

Normally you say it is a bit early for a move to Saudi Arabia but the way his season way it is the better bet. Especially with current financial issues at Barcelona.

[Bluewonder]

Wonder how much the Saudis would pay us.

Probably more than brokealona

he's had 6 clubs in 9 years, not sure movement has been a problem in the past (likely driven by his agent). I reckon he'd move to Saudi if the financials / timing were attractive to both him and city

If Barcelona are interested in Cancello and always in need of a defence of note mybe Laporte? Owe us some cash from Torres as well ( Cancello 35m Laporte 35m plus 10m owing?) Offer a swap for Frankie De jong???
