We need to get the wage bill down which we had to do anyway since it was disproportionately high compared to other big clubs. Just a matter of time while contracts are being re-negotiated and some deadweight is on their away out namely Umtiti, Coutinho, Luuk De Jong, Demir, Dest, S.Roberto


The price is high but not bad because he's young. Problems arise when you sign a Griezmann type, 27+ years old, for 100m and he flops, then nobody wants to buy him with astronomically high wages.

Apparently Xavi is "crazy" about him, meaning Ferran was his first option, there was some talk about Dani Olmo but he must've been quickly discarded. Not sure who I prefer out of the two. I suppose XH sees glimpses of Pedro or Villa in Ferran or something.

I heard City's staff estimated he could bag 25 goals a season, thatd be impressive for a 21 year old.

His stats last season in the Prem were 7 goals and 2 assists in 1306 minutes which is about 14 games, often as a sub. Is it safe to assume he could score 19 goals in a full 38-game league season as a starter? Maybe. It's a bold prediction honestly, that'd put him ahead of Vardy for instance, and at 3rd  top scorer of the league.

According to Pep's assistants Ferran is also very intelligent and tactically astute.

Pep also let go of Sane who is a relatively talented player. But yes, Ferran doesnt seem irreplaceable. We'll see how this first signing of Xavi develops and how good his judgment is. For Spain NT, Ferran has been great, however.

Stat-wise, 8 goals in 993 minutes which is 11 full games. Call it whatever you want.

Mateu Alemany (director of football): "Ferran Torres and Financial Fair Play? We know very well how we are, our problems and all this is evaluated at the moment we make decisions. Therefore, we hope to be able to solve that situation when he is available."

"Demir's departure? Yes, it is a situation that would help Ferran's enrollment. There are several situations in progress and it is a matter of completing them this week."

"Xavi asked for Ferran and it was his Christmas present from us"

Alemany said he'd be registered by Sunday and here it is. Boss man

La Liga has all the documentation to register Ferran Torres already. They are just waiting for Coutinho's departure to be confirmed. It can happen at any minute now.

You managed to register Ferran Torres. Amazing. Top notch DoF work.

GL DoF ES said we wouldnt be able to

With his critical evaluation even baby steps feel like success.

RG should drop him from the payroll
