Looks like this deal is wrapped up. I think we've been majorly ripped off, but if its not gonna bankrupt us, and we still have a bit of money to buy a couple of defenders and a winger then fine. Torres is an improvement on Kuyt, Bellamy & Crouch, he aint a world class striker imo but he's young and has a big reputation in Europe. Lets hope he settles quickly (if/when this deal is finalised) and adapts to the English game. One things for sure, he will be an automatic starter at that price.
Be sad to see Garcia go, if Atletico come back for him, but we had 2 very productive seasons out of him, some wonderful memories and important goals, and it looks like we will recoup most of what we paid for him, which isnt bad for a 29 year old.
