KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Torres shows desperation to leave... Sad, sad day

Torres' transfer request is bizarre...... but shows how much he is disenchanted with us.

In some respects its understandable. He feels let down by the club and to be fair, we have dragged things on in many respects and RH was a poor choice of manager. If we had gone with KD at the start of the season we would have definitely had a better season than we've had so far and maybe Torres would have seen the light sooner. But we'll never know now.

But going to Chelsea would be a mistake. They are in free fall and you cannot see them spending the kind of money they did 5-6 years ago that got them up there in the first place. All of there best players are over 30 and for the long haul they are a poor choice.

There's no way we should be selling him to a rival in our own league. Imagine, he could be scoring the winner against us next week! How sick and twisted can football be and how crushing would that be?

If he wants to go let him leave in the summer. Start a bidding war with Man City, Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid. I never thought he could do this and because of his boyhood allegiances I thought he would never likely sign for Real Madrid but anything is possible now!

Real would love to take him and would pay stupid money too.

More importantly, it would buy us sometime and we need him to get the most out of whats left of a poor campaign. We could still win the Europa League and finish in the Europa League positions also.

We could also maybe change his mind over time too, which would be welcome. Fresh investment and a good partnership with Suarez could do the trick.

Fascinating times ahead in these next few days. Lets hope we can hold strong, keep Nando and do things OUR way during the summer.

only one dirty disrespectful person at fault here torres , not hodgson not the club not even benitez or dalglish , such a disrespectul person is torres a sly low gutter rat , who has sh1t on the club ,his fellow players and the fans who worship him from a massive height .

i totally agree with everything you said on this new thread (first post)...

totally disagree with fans being so silly & angry, yet be dissapointed but not angry and hating him already.. your just as bloody bad, listen to yourselfs.....

i hope he changes his mind and i hope kenny or gerrard maybe carra will also help that....

I wouldnt wanna be in a team that wins [oops] all either... would you!!!

its the lies from torres and his actions which has angered the people here , if he goes he goes that goes for any player , but the put in a written transfer request is down right disrespectful and low to all involved in LFC ,the way he has sulked and showed no interest just goes to show what type of snide he is .

torres could have told club at start of transfer window his intentions at least it would have given us time to replace him .but dont worry i remember being gutted when keegan , souness , rush , barnes , owen and even kenny were no longer available for various reasons . owen for instance left for greener pastures to win european honours and it back fired . as will torres chelsea are an ageing squad while all be it slowly are showing signs of moving forward . remember we are bigger than any one man

that should be we are moving forward (sorry)

yer isuppose your right putting it like that then, but maybe if he does stay on behalf of a change of mind then he will owe us a few good performances and goals, i very muc doubt anfield will sing his song for a good while... take his number 9 shirt off him for that...

You're right. We should never have bought Torres. He is the reason we've not won anything since H&G bought the club. All those goals he scored and records he broke were because he was a talentless waster with a lot of luck. He interfered with the Alonso saga, turned the guy against Benitez because he wanted Alonso to go to Real Madrid. It's his fault Gerrard sulked all of last season, so much so that he was almost our worst player for the entire season. Winning 4-1 over United and 4-0 over Real Madrid were accidents; he didn't mean to score the first goal for us in each of these games. He signed because it has always been his desire to see Liverpool get relegated.

Yeah, right. Get a life, mate. There's a lot more going on than you think, this (where we are) is not the fault of any one person, and maybe Torres has finally become fed up with all the [oops] lip service he's been given and the continuing disharmony in the squad due to King Gerrard and his enforcer Carragher. FSG's reticence to sign anyone during this window was a sign that nothing has changed, and I'd also want out were I him; the adoration of the fans only goes so far.

Guys, I understand the anger. We all love Torres and all hope is not lost. The club is bigger and will survive without him.

Angry fans..... Thundyr has made some massive points that are correct.

I just hope that the decision made by FT was before Suarez signs/deal agreed and there will be renewed optimism and desire.

If not, then give us fans, the ones that have bestowed utter adulation on you the reward they deserve.... a great finish in the league and a Europa League final!

Thundyr, sad but true .... But his timing is his choice and it stinks.

BTW for those decrying his "disrespect" over handing in a transfer request - at least he's been honest enough, man enough to say he wants out. None of the posturing and positioning, leaking and briefing crap.

He's done his bit, given his service and left some great memories but if he goes, he goes.
