Would you give up Torres to save LFC

[Anny Road]

Just reading all this shite about Torres to Chelsea and it is obvious if they could offer anything 200 million if they wanted.

This reminded me of a conversation with a mate who argues that the yanks are good for the club and have enabled us to sign top players.

Now I know my mate would change his stance dramatically if we were to sell Torres.

So simple question. If the yanks were to cash in on Torres which lead to mass protests and us finally getting rid would you do the unthinkable?

[Anny Road]

Shit RISed the poll.

[George Costanza]

They won't offer more than £50m. Even at that he's not worth selling. The club is bigger than any player or manager but the impact the lad has had and the amazing following he has quickly had means its virtually beome unsellable.

 

I've never known such a following for one particular player. Its mental.

I agree but some fans need a wake up call.

By that you mean? That Torres is bound to suffer a run of bad form and isn't, as many of us believe, invincible?

[Anny Road]

No I dont. I think he is the clubs future and should never be sold.

If he was sold we may well see a half empty stadium for the first game of the season.

Season tickets sent back and the yanks in real real hot water with the non forum reading fan.

If it meant getting rid of the yanks would you consider it?

 

It is a bollocks question but one I cannot answer.

[George Costanza]

luckily i answered it for you.

Oh I understand, you meant the wake up call would be the Yanks selling Torres. Makes sense. With that said it is in no way worth it. Eventually these cunts will expose themselves to everybody as complete and utter wankers, we don't need to sell Torres for that to happen.

80m plus wed have to sell

 

Villa & Young and 40m in the bank

Never thought I would say this but Red Nick in talking sense shocker. Problem is Nik 40m would not be in our bank.

Plus would Villa come if we sold Torres.

 

I would like to clarify that this is not an agenda I just know a lot of die hard reds who are not at all arsed about the yanks. If we sign a top player ie Villa this summer Hicks will be untouchable.

[George Costanza]

Hicks will be untouchable.

 

He is anyway. Regardless of the great intentions of SOS and RTK etc etc. Hicks will only sell/fuck off on his terms. I think the stubborn old goat is going to be around for a while yet. If he allows Rafa to sign another top, top class player this summer then great, it won't make me like him or laothe him anymore but it'll be good for Liverpool FC and thats all the counts for me.

So my point is selling Torres would get rid.

Thats why I am not that upset about the Milner and other rumours this maybe a ploy on Rafa/Hicks part to look good when we sign a couple of good players with everyone relieved that Hicks sanctioned funds rather than buying crap.

 

One thing is for sure in the next two weeks after Euros finished it will become very clear who to believe

[chrisbonnie]

id sell for 70 million, you`d be stupid not to

[Guido]

id sell for 70 million, you`d be stupid not to

 

Then call me stupid.

 

The majority of the cash paid would just go to help refinancing the loan, i.e. they wouldn't have to ask for as much.

 

Selling Torres at any price would be retarded. Plus he could attract Villa or any number of other top players. Plus he brings a ton of commercial revenue to the club. Plus some of our other players and possibly Rafa would leave out of disgust.

 

No signing or sale would 'save LFC'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So nerr.

[G Richards]

I'd probably sell for £1bn. Buy the club back from the yanks and build a new stadium. That would be worth it.

 

£50M? No way.

 

 

* There might be a point in between £50M and £1bn where I'd sell, but I'm not sure what that is.

[stringvest]

In the present state, any profit recouped would go out the door in dividends, so absolutely no. If I thought the sale would bring in, say 60million, and it would be used as a basis with which to finance three world class players, you'd need to think about it.

[robslappa]

If I thought for a minute that any funds raised would go back into the team then we'd be daft not accept a stupid of £60 or £70m. But it wouldn't the money would go straight into the Bank of H&G.

 

So I wouldn't sell at any price.

[spider-neil]

if chelsea offered a price which would all but fund the stadium we'd have to at least think about it, its weighing our short term future with our long term future.

thats right if they accepted an offer for torres and he left they would put about 20 million back into the team out of a possible 60/70 million

[dirty_sanchez]

If we got offered enough money to pay for the stadium and pay off all of the clubs debts then I'd consider it.
