Transfer rumours

[PeterParker]

Ridiculous fee for Torres.
We couldn't sell food to the starving for free.

Has something been agreed then?

47.5 mil pounds + 8.5 addons according to Manchester Evening News.

Ok. Not chump change. Would have asked for more myself but it would still be a record transfer fee received for us and a profit of £30+M in 18 months.

And I guess if he wants to go it's better to get good money whilst his stock is high

I am more curious if we are going to sign someone, but I think there is no chance.
Is not like we missed him, but another place opens and with Mahrez going in January to AFCON, It will be a gamble.

Zero chance of Sterling leaving on loan. The path to regular playing wasn’t obvious and he wanted to leave so I guess it was the right decision. I’d be very surprised to see anyone coming in in January. Maybe Cole Palmer has a bit more chance of playing a part?

I am hoping so. I am also hoping he isn't one of the guys Pep was referring to with the off field activities.

Looked decent whenever hes had a few minutes and like Foden, a City fan who has been with us for ages which gives him extra grace in my eyes

Nolito II

Shithouse that doesn’t want to fight for his place. All the best you little rat!

Apparently 6 million of the 8 million add ons are easy to hit.

That £52m will pay for Haaland’s agents bung. Nice.

[sheblue]

I just think we should have got more, particularly a january sale!
If we were trying to sign him now the fee would be 50% higher.
Why not wait until he's fit, plays a bit and then let him go in the summer, probably for more. What's the point? It's very unlikely we will replace him next month.
It's been said we're weaking our squad, and who knows what will happen and who we will need at the back end of the season.

Pointless sale. Fuck Barcelona, they should have been made wait and pay more.

Now if we sign Haaland next week, I'll retract the above

We really lost a lot of players, to be honest which were not replaced. An injury hit or a covid outbreak will fuck us big time.
We've lost Aguero, the lump of shit, Fern is playing less and less, now Torres, Mahrez will leave a month.
I hope we know what we are doing.

We've had the injury hit, covid scenario.
Villa away a few weeks ago. No Walker, Laporte, Stones, Gundo, Kev, Torres. Foden and Grealish had been out injured and were on the bench. The rest of the outfield bench were kids. We still won.
Aguero and Fern hardly played last season, Torres has been out ages and we're only losing Mahrez to Afcon which is a lot better than dippers and CHAVS.

Sure, that was one game, but imagine that for a longer period of time.
The point I am making is that we need to replace them with transfers, if we are not doing them with kids: left-back, box to box and striker are something we need, someone like Torres can wait. Don't know the books and how they are thinking financially, but would be better, IMHO, to sign them in different windows instead of all in one.
Because in a couple of years Walker, Mahrez, Gundo and even Kevin might need replacements also.

But again, it's all about the books and how they are thinking it will bring balance.

Torres gone according to Sky

Cut price again

Fuck barca

We paid £20M for him and are getting £55M 16 months later, so that is a tidy profit.
But £55M looks like a bargain for a 21 year old Spanish international with his potential.

[Mase]

Barca can sign him but might not be able to register him with LaLiga? Absolute joke club. Worst than Rags for the way they’re ran.

Was watching the Maradona series on Amazon and saw that their president, Nunez, was arrested in 2011 for tax evasion and bribery during the 80s. How many are now? 4-5?
Corrupt to the core.
