KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Torres for £40- Sunday Mirror

"Manchester City will try and acquire Liverpool superstar Fernando Torres for £40m - £20m short of the Reds' valuation of their prize asset."

The vulchers gather... we really had better be sold quickly or we are completely and utterly F&^*%$

thats fine we will use the money to buy messi.is he going to leave liverpool and the europa league for citeh and the europa league what a load of cr*p. who writes this stuff.

This headline is just a journo taking the [oops] cos he thinks Chelski don't want him & wants the price to come down. In fact they are nowher near the price. The price is £0, cos he's going nowhere!

its all paper talk i wouldent entertain it like i keep saying we will all no by the start of next season.

Would seriously take 50 million for him, theres is absolutely no point keeping any player who is injury prone not even if we had Messi when such good money is available given our financial situation.
You also have to take into consideration the fact that he clearly put country before club regarding his operation, when players like Drogba and Xavi have both played with injuries for there club and people who pay there wages even putting there world cup hopes in the balance.
As Liverpool supporters we have seen better players than the likes of Torres and Gerrard leave in the past and still become stronger, better and more balanced, so lets just put things into perspective, no player is bigger than the Club

No player is bigger than the club, BUT

Why sell him, if the 50 million are is going to go to pay off the yanks debt?

Im not so sure he put country before club, im not so sure what he injury was, i think twas his knee. Im think if he could have played through the pain barrier, Rafa and co would have thrown him in. Cos afterall we were is a desperate situation over the last 10 games, as we were chasing the 4th spot.

so Dunk, what's this about "Torres future - Major Update"!

I'm not in a position to join your site yet as I need those few pennies to go towards my pints at the weekend!

Well I am saying it's a good deal if hopefuly our new manager gets the money to spend on new players, the thing we have to remember in this is no matter how good he may or not be as a player the man cant be relied upon to stay fit.
I personaly think he could of played on with his injury even if he was used in just the games against Athletico, I have no doubt we would of beaten an ordinary Athletico side with Torres even half fit.
When you see players like Xavi, Zamora and even Drogba playing through injuries because there clubs rely on them so badly at the business end of the season then you hear quotes from Torres saying it's really important for him to play in the World Cup because it only comes up every four years and how he's having the operation in time to be fit for it, it just questions where his true loyalties and priorities lay.

very good point and it was one that was talked about alot amongst my circle of mates when he decided to go under the knife.

But time will soon tell who is a true red....if we do not get new owners and new investment lets see who jumps ship. F*ck them I say. One thing is for sure the only true LFC reds are the supporters!

Well that will be another test wont it for the supporters, with seasons of mediocrity seemingly likely ahead for us, we will soon see who the glory hunter supporters are and if they will still turn up for the mid week winter games against the likes of Birmingham City's and Fulham's of this world.
