7 - Ferran Torres

[FinBarcelonafan]

If Ferran shot at Tupac back in '94, he'd have been performing at the Super Bowl half-time show this year.

Even if he tried all those years, he would be still alive.

Not sure what is going on with Xavi and these shit tactics. It's quite obvious he's instructing at least one winger, if not both, to hug the sideline to create width. Our fullback should be doing this...to make room for our wingers, especially Torres since one of his only good qualities is making runs into the box. Dembele and Dest should be alternating making runs down the sideline to keep the right side guessing. He's making it easy to defend against us...

I think that just might be Xavi's philosophy. Even before he took the Barca job, he has spoken in past interviews about wanting wingers to stay wide.

cant be that static with it otherwise people just set up tactics to counter it.

 

[DonAK]

It's fine wanting wingers to stay wide but Ferran is not that type of player so Xavi shouldn't have requested to sign him in that case.

Exactly. Torres will never work like this.

 

[JamDav1982]

Torres will never be one to set up in way to beat men wide and get ball in.

He needs a FB to take width and go round him if gets ball wide and at other times take width to allow him to get centrally.

No point signing him to play like today and he was shite within that.

 

[malvolio]

It's not about tactics. He came to a club that needed him to be decisive and produce the goods. And he isn't that player. We've been scammed.

At City he didn't have the pressure as he wasn't a starter, plus he was rolling with the best squad in the league.

 

[Laplacian]

So, still struggling to understand why we paid 55mil for this guy. Pace? no. Dribbling? no. Finishing? LOL no. He can get into a good position sure but then he fluffs his lines.

Spanish tax.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Spanish tax.

And PL tax. Damn.

 

[Laplacian]

He's young so potential tax.

[jamrock]

We paid 65m for this guy, Liverpool paid about the same for jota & Diaz.

Insanity.

 

[Jadentheman]

And PL tax. Damn.

Man City overcharged. They had to recoup the Grealish money

They paid 65m for jota? Haha that's a complete scam

Diaz hasn't played enough but I doubt he's gonna be better than jota.

 

[MTL_Barca]

We paid 65m for this guy, Liverpool paid about the same for jota & Diaz.

Insanity.

They paid around 45M for each of them, Torres initial cost was 55M.
