KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Sh*t just got real... (possibly)

Gerrard and Carra were gutted he left. Suarez, Carrol, Henderson, Adam, Downing, Enrique, Bellamy haven't even played with him. I doubt this would be a concern.

£10million maximum but still don't think Kenny should bring him back.

10m can't buy you crap in this market. Even Ngog was sold for 4m!

The people that think Torres is a poor player would be wise to remember how many goals he scored while Kenny was in charge prior to leaving. 3 in 5 games. Much the same rate as under Benitez. As far as I know he's only been injured once since the start of last season, as usual on duty with Spain, and it wasn't serious.

He's struggled at Chelsea for much the same reason Carroll is struggling at LFC - their brand of football does not match his style or strengths. Put him with Suarez tho....

He loves it at Chelsea, gets on really well with the delightful Ashley Cole, the lovely John Terry and the forever modest Frank Lampard

He hated Liverpool, thought we took training too seriously and couldn't contain his excitement at getting hius "dream move" to chelsea

I'm not surprised Chelsea want rid of him - he's been a complete waste of money - but I can't see him coming back here of all places

I hope he stays at Chelsea - just for the reception he'll get when they come to Anfield

Heh, hypothetically speaking, if we sell Carroll back to toon for 10m and buy Torres back for 20m (with it written into his contract that he make a public apology to the fans and a private one to the squad, to smooth things over), then we've gained 5m.
Sell: 50m (Torres) + 10m (Carroll) = 60m
Buy: 35m (Carroll) + 20m (Torres) = 55m

That 5m can then go to making up the difference in the players' wages.

Which means that we could do a straight swap of our strikers for a poacher (which most people on this forum agree is something we need) and could put us in a stronger position than we are in now, and not forgetting that both our strikers would then have the same mother tongue. (Provided Torres is accepted by the squad, of course - that goodwill will give him the chance to score the goals that will gain him acceptance with the fans)

Not a bad proposition really. How about Andy going the other way and 7.5M for Torres which is half of the 15M less than we paid for Carroll so the purchase cost is evened out between the two purchases and both parties take equal risk, again. Might be a fairer proposal than a straight swop or any situation where Chelsea think they are getting short-changed, no matter how small.

Carragher went on LFC TV and said it was one of the best bits of transfer news ever when Torres was sold. Therefore I very much doubt he would welcome his return...

Suarez SG torres with ac as backup. I'd offer 15 20 m for him with 5m add on if we get into top 4

lol at some of these comments
