Torres

[stmichael]

the price tag on this boys head is absolutely ridiculous. i mean he's a decent prospect but he'd never score you more than 15 goals in a season because his finishing is completely erratic.

Our soul. He cost something like 60% of our turnover that season and we went deeply into debt over the signing, so much so that we were hawking ourselves around the world for friendlies.

 

We only lost £1.5m on the transfer as we sold him for £7m to Villa, and while they weren't speaking Robbie and Stan managed to scored 55 goals in their first season together... no bad really.

 

Sold our soul my arse!

Loyal player - good on him.

 

But you wanted Alves to strike so that Seville would have to sell him to us??

I was taking the piss out of the sit tight policy if I did say that! Although I don't remembetr saying it.

 

On another note, Guillem Balague said ALL summer that Torres to United is a done deal, which now reminds me of the Vieira to Madrid done deal. I wouldn't normally highlight this but he has said it countless times, the summer isn't over but Torres in a press conference has said he stays.

 

Pinch of salt, Balague is a journo like the rest of them.
