I would have got rid of both him and Gerrard before now whilst they were worth a lot of money, our squad is too far away from being good to warrant holding onto 2 "star" players. Their money could have brought us 5 or 6 players in who would increase the average level of the team.
Said that for a long time now, you only have to look at Everton when they sold Rooney they went from just above relelgation with him in there team to top 6 with the players they brought in for the money the got for him, think that would work for us selling Gerrard and Torres while we still can.
