The Prophet Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Wasn't one of his reasons for leaving City is that he'd had his fill of misery island? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I may be wrong but I don't really rate Torres. I never saw elite potential in him at Valencia and I thought it spoke volumes that City were happy to cash in so early. We have to be careful we're not seduced by signing a player because they look good on paper. City fell foul of that a bit at first. I'd almost rather take a punt on a player trending up with Villarreal or Sevilla than I would a player perceived as being 'of that level' because he's at Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Kanji Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I respectfully disagree. He’s an unreal talent. He was on the list of potential targets the first time around before he went to City. Extremely versatile player. Sign him the fuck up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I mean, even if Torres doesn't have elite potential he can still be a really good addition to the squad. Versatile 23 year old winger who has played 35 games for Spain for 25m? That's Chris Wood money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 The alarm bells go off anytime is read that a player has been "offered to Newcastle." Usually means they end up at Villa, West Ham or Nottingham Forest. If we were interested we would get it done largely silently without being "offered the player" always seems like they are damaged goods. Howe likes a project though.

Zero Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 There must be some problems behind Torres. Having been rejected by two mega clubs at such a young age speaks volume. I am fine to take the gamble but I am also prepared for failure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Re Torres, if he does take a step down to a club such us or villa. (By step down I mean in terms of perception) it’s not going to be as a squad player and I’m sure he’d also want a pay rise as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Gallagher would be a decent buy, but £40 million is too steep. Loads of talent, but he's coming off the back of a below par season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonesJones Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Haha I don't think there's many players that wouldn't win a vote against McT, especially if that vote is taking place on NO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Genuinely think that Arda Guler is good enough to start for us next season. Very mature at everything he does and can handle the pressure. I'd be very content with him coming in as our right sided option. Can play centrally too. Please happen! His talent is just too much to not succeed. Would also leave us with a lot of money for other positions. Edited May 31, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Gallagher is only 23. He's had a very good season playing regularly at Palace, then a bit-part season, followed by a disappointing one at a dysfunctional Chelsea. At Palace he showed all the hallmarks of an Eddie Howe number eight. He grafts, he's aggressive and he finished the season with eight goals and five assists. Given he has regressed in his time at Chelsea, the prices quoted are too much, but there is a player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Don't rate Gallacher much and it also helps Chelsea out of a financial hole so for both reasons it's a no from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Don't want Gallagher, he doesn't have a fancy foreign name and he hasn't done it in a shite league so obviously it's good enough. Tells you alot about the modern football fan: This Turkish kid has a few fancy highlights on YouTube... obviously the next Modric. Gallagher, had a genuinely class season in the hardest league in the world at the age of 21/22... na he's shite. Can we not be sensible for one minute.

Can't talk for everyone else but i've followed Arda Guler very closely. Unless he has some sort of unexpected mental breakdown or any serious injuries or something similar then he will be one of the best around in the not too distant future. I'm absolutely 100% certain about this. Obviously unexpected things can happen in football. He is a generational talent that plays football years ahead of his age.
