Can't see how he can go to Barca, when they are Nickel and Diming over Torres, can't imagine Raiola standing for any of that shit

I still think he’ll end up at Bayern personally.

He'll join us. Pep was smiling talking about him or should I say avoiding talking about him. Something is brewing. We haven't got much competition

It would explain the fire sale attitude to sell Torres asap

^^^^^^^^
Not so sure we should sell Torres , if anything we should be simply strengthening. Recently we've looked quite thin . Although some great potential is coming through , we need to strengthen not weaken the squad.

Correct. As is never mentioned we’ve got one of the smallest squads in the Prem. The fact we’ve managed to go top whilst having 3-5 of our best players injured is brilliant.

Plus Torres is not yet a striker. He was bought as a right winger who has an eye for goal and due to us not having a forward was tried out as a false 9. He looked half decent it must be said and he has done well for Spain in a more central role. So to sell him at 21 when Mahrez is 30 would be a poor move IMO

And Mahrez is off on a jolly just after Christmas .

Must admit, I'll be very surprised if he doesn't end up here. God alone knows (and maybe Pep) how he'll fit in with our style of play though.

He won't fit the wage structure which is what I'm worried about. We have done well to pick up stars just under the very top bracket, and have got good characters into the drressing room. I hope we continue this policy and not get lured by potential

We simply cannot do this deal if the reported figures are non negotiable - paying his dad and the agent what should reasonably be the transfer fee itself - mental

Agree.
I think we will get the serbian, Vlahovic, and we might hit the jackpot if this form he has is not temporary. He likes to bully defenders, we are missing someone like that.
We are not going to pay that money for Haaland, but I hope he ends up somewhere away from the Premier League.

If we want the real deal, the superstar, then we pay. We are paying KDB 400K at 30! If Halland gets better with us, it's money well spent.

The the figures reported are probably not correct, they will be eye watering. I'm beginning to think he is simply not worth it. He seems to have picked up a few niggles this season and given his size and style I worry about injuries in a few years.

I for one wouldn't be disappointed if we dont pay exorbitant wages and fees to his representatives.

How can Torres be even thinking of joining - Not a pot to piss in FC. Cash-strapped Barcelona plan to drop on-loan wonderkid Yusuf Demir for SIX WEEKS to dodge triggering an £8.5m contract clause, which forces them to sign him if he plays 10 games, before January. Is Harry Kane’s brother the agent.....

How can the rumours be true that Barca are trying for Haaland? Are these people deluded, apparently not a pot to piss in, yet think they can break a transfer record and fees, at the same time behaving like paupers with Torres

Rumours that Torres knows we’re going for Haaland and that’s why he wants out.

I think he just is a weird character and never wanted to come here in the first place.
That interview when he said Valencia forced him out comes to mind.

I really think losing him is ok, he isn't special, even if this year he looked a bit better that last year.
We will manage, but I hope we will get the right money for him.
