it depends what way you wanna look at it really
at the end of the day he was asked the question wether he was concerned if rooney left united then maybe they would make an approach for him.
i dont think he's the right man but he's been put on the spot and he also went on to say:
"I am not naive enough to think there is no danger we will ever lose a player like Fernando Torres. I can only hope we won't and I will make certain I do everything in my power to keep him happy at the club, help him improve his current form and to get him playing for Liverpool as he has in the past."so its been blown out of proportion really.
