KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum cash plus striker offered for torres?

I don't care who the player is, with the current state of the club, I would snap anyone's hand off if they offered us 70-80 million.
If we were in a state where we were on a par with the top teams and it was a single player here and there making the difference then I'd say you keep your top players because you can't get better to improve that area, but when we are as far away as we are now that money could drag in 3 top players to our team instead. It also spreads the risk, Nando's spent a lot of time on the treatment table and he is no use to us there.

I personally don't see Torres going. If we are still as sh!t next year then maybe he will.

The big thing that concerns me about selling him though, is will the manager get the money to strengthen? And if he does and that man is Rafa, would you trust him to spend it wisely?

no.

if he managed to buy another 'Torres' for approx £25m and flog him for £70m a few years later, maybe

there's too many variables at this point. 1) torres won't go to city cos they're not in the champos. 2) rafa's future is not decided and alot will depend on who the manager will be 3) we don't know who the owners are going to be...if we get decent ones in soon who have money to spend on the team and the manager is good he'll prob stay. 4) the world cup is coming up, if villa performs and torres doesn't play so much, he may not be in the window as much as other players 5) i don't think he'll be in too much of a rush to leave. he'll still be in demand next year if we don't get new owners and there's not 4/5 new faces around so he could leave in the jan window (he won't be cuptied in the champos cos he won't be in it with lfc).

my gut is that he'll be with us next season but if there's not a dramatically positive change in the club as a whole from a management, financial and better player standpoint...he'll be on his this time next year as he'll be 27 and prob should be makuing that kind of choice around then.

hes not that lucky eh...Fernando torres is not born everyday.may be kuyt n lucas..

and he hasnt the eye to hunt such talent again..

good one drome..i agree with that

But if you imagine we sell him for £70m, and we have it all to spend, players that would have been £25m will then be £40m. Unless there are some concrete assurances that we will have the money to re-build, then there is no point selling him.

yep prices go up when clubs think you have money

I love Torres! But if he is gonna be injured for big chunks of the season. It is very unsettling to have him in and out of the squad!

If someone came in with a 80million pound bid! and The gafa could spend the lot! I would seriously think about it.

80million could bring in 3 or 4 top shelf English players!
