KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Glad Rafa spoke out about possible Torres sale

To be honest given our current situation i would snap any clubs arm off if they want to buy Torres for 100 million as good as he is he in nowhere near worth that nor any other player.

i hope we don't sell him he is a team!! When is contract is up then ok but for now we need him!!

there is no point in keeping a 100 million pound player if you cant add to him, it's like having a Ferrari in the garage and not having any money to put petrol in it, it's absolutely pointless. Everton where in a similar situation a couple of years back with Rooney, they were finishing 14 and 15 every season with him and when they sold him for mearly 30 million they bought about 3 or 4 quality players with the money which moved them up to about 7th or 8th. I think if we sold Torres cleared 40 million pound off the dept and brought in maybe Villa and one or two 20 million pound players as well including a top class winger the team would be a better all round one

we're never going to be able to bring in players in the 20m+ bracket with the amount of debt and current owners.
selling torres, though it pains fans, will reduce that debt and at the same time bring in players to strengthen the team as a whole. with debt lowered, interest payments are lowered too. coupled with the increased money from marketing, pool may finally be able to bring in 2-3 class players per season without the need to sell.

in fact, it might even satisfy those calling for rafa's head if he really resigns due to the sale.

selling torres will obviously be the last resort. hope we can get things sorted out both on and off field to never need to explore that option.

Your to late, Liverpool are already a club like Athletico now, alrite we have a better history than them but thats about it, we are no longer one of the giants of the modern game, we are big in name only. As for the sale of Torres if it happens, think people need to get a reality check no player is bigger than the Football Club and we have sold better players than Torres and come back stronger Keegan, Souness and Rushie for starters so if we can replace them and carry on we can replace anyone, alrite so we dont win leagues anymore but we dont win leagues with Torres playing so it's as you were.

oh come on...this is utter crap whoever here is having even bit of supportive thoughts to sell torres..u ppl are drunk seriously...

i agree with Rafarendum that every player has its price but i believe its all down to TORRES if he wants to leave us...BUT I DONT SEE THAT COMING...especially to any of our rivals

EMP is spot on...selling our biggest ever asset definitely gonna harm us a hell.....

the problem with Rafa's coments are that it might be a red rag to a bull.they can sell Torres to help financially and the manager will leave with no pay off.i hope they dont see it that way.

how can selling an injury prone striker for 100 million pound not be good business for a club in dept like us given the fact the team needs serious funds spending on a number of positions.

Yeah , and give Rafe money to spend on bench warmers , read somewhere last week about lies , is Rafa telling the truth about injuries regarding Aqualini . ???

Look the way i see it is sooner or later we are going to have to take a big gamble somewhere along the line otherwise we will end up 3rd, 4th or 5th every season for ever and ever. There is absolutely no point in having a top player like Torres worth 100 million pound if you are not going to add to him and unfortunately for us we are no longer a big enough club to do that. If we could sell him for 100 million pay 40 million off the dept and give a new manager the chance to bring in
3 20 million pound players i really do feel it would be good business and also make us a stronger all round team, I accept we wont have a striker maybe not as good unless we can bring in Villa, but we will be stronger in a couple more areas of the team which can only improve us and make us better.
