    Looking to secure Ferran Torres - he’s a seriously talented player. He’d still be at City if they hadn’t had the opportunity to get Haaland.

    £40m.

    Can play wing or striker, exactly what's needed.

    Torres one side, Diaby the other and Ísak through the middle. All 3 can rotate around the front 3 and cause chaos for defenses..

    From what I've seen of Ferran Torres at Barca he seems to have been mentally broken from the lack of expected goals and the huge pressure of playing for them, Eddie will need to rebuild his confidence quickly or we could end up with another Xisco or Luque.

    The lad had 10 goal contributions last season - played 45 games but the mins only added up to 20.9 games so he was still getting a G/C ever other game pretty much.

    Across his 33 league appearances he played an average of 41 mins per game so less than a half a game. If he's getting regular game time and starts I'm sure that rate would improve.

    His rate will improve from 1 g/a every other game? Wow!

    Kid looked mustard at City, not being given the playing time he needs yet really at Barce or City but I think he could improve on that rate with the right coaching and regular game time.

    Fun fact - he's 23 and born on the 29th February so will turn 24 next year but won't be 25 until 2028 <cheers>

    40 goals and 30 assists over 12,600 mins across his career - literally a G/C every 180 mins. He'll defo improve on that with time.

    Yet another close answer but you dived in too quickly.

    A fan favourite of the Toon Army and scored the Toon's best goal of last season.
