Your talking like he is a fan like you and I and he is not, the man is a professional footballer first and formost and he has no loyalty to any club just to do whats best for him and his career. A footballer's life in the game only last for about 12 years at the top and he has to do everything in his power to achieve everything he can during this time. Torres next contract will be his main one which will take him through his peak footballing years and he has to play for a club that will provide him with that platform or his chance will be gone, if that means playing for another English Club or Madrid than he wont let that stop him reaching his dreams am afraid and anyone who thinks otherwise are kidding themselves, if he was loyal as you say he would still be playing for the so called love of his life in Athletico but no his career come first before anything else.

If he is loyal like you said why is he not still at Athletico, the reason being his career comes first before anything else. A footballers career only lasts about 12 years at the top which means the next contract Torres signs will be the main one which will take him through his peak years as a player. What this means is that the next club he plays for has to provide him with the platform he needs to achieve his ambitions be it an English Club or Madrid, it wont stop him. What you fail to understand about Giggs and Maldini is that they were extremely lucky to play for the clubs they supported that just happend to be the best in the world at the time this helped them achieve everything they needed, same as players who supported us like Ian Callaghan, Jimmy Case, Tommy Smith and Sammy Lee thats why they never needed to play for anyone else.

Explain Nando's Liverpool tattoo then? Or even the Liverpool arm band he wore whilst captain of Athletico. Wonder who he supports?

Fowler, Macca and Carra were all bluenoses yet they played for us - who a player supports does not have a huge significance.

That's why i'm starting to dislike this forum, a post about investment and an interesting one at and it all turns into we are selling Torres?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WTF!!!!!

Come on guy's lets look to the future, if this comes about it will be a step in the right direction. I don't mind taking a few steps back so we can go forward. I for one will support this beloved club of mine for ever and day no matter what happens, it's in my blood and always will be.

Come on folks, all of us know that Torres will leave if we continue to struggle. If we contonue to match his ambitions, he will stay on. One of the reasons Gerrard stayed is not because of loyalty but because at that point in time, he truly believed that the club could match his ambitions.

This is not negativity but a simple case of cause and effect.
