Torres happy with Roy of the Reds

[Kopite Pete]

Christian Purslows opening arse-licking interview with the echo -

 

"The key point is we will not sell a footballer if we can’t find a better or equal replacement."

 

There you go the, panic over. Unless we can find someone equally as good, then Torres isn't going anywhere.

 

Phew, that's a weight off my mind.

 

Might as well close this thread now.

 

When did he say that mate?

[Wor Horse]

If Torres goes to Chelsea he's a cunt.

 

Although that impersonator Darren Farley put on Facebook:

 

*Darren Farley I done an interview with Fernando Torres for adidas a couple of months ago and I'm tellin yer now in his words '' Theres no way I wud play for another premiership club '' More bollocks from his agent who will get the chop after this load of bollocks His armband said he was a red and thats how He'll stay YNWA

[Guest LFD]

Is it that much of a stretch to believe it's true? Not that they'll leave, but that they've been promised top players and don't trust the board? I wouldn't.

 

It could be true, but I just didn't seem to think Tony had any information and was just speculating.

 

He said Chelsea offered LFC £25 million for Torres before the World Cup.

[Wor Horse]

Tony Evans is probably still heartbroken over Rafa going.

[Gary Mac Legend]

That sounds about right

 

Take advantage of our situation

I don't believe a word a footballer says now mate, and to be honest Torres is pissed off with the club keep breaking promises. So you cant blame him wanting a move.

[Section_31]

Torres is an asset the club will still want to own when they're touting it around the Middle East, it's a balancing act, I imagine the situation is currently thus - Broughton wants to offload the club for as much as possible - Torres wants better players around him - Tores must stay for the club to be sold for as much as possible - Broughton et al will be trying to convince the likes of Tores that the end of the ownership saga is in sight. It's what Dave Lister might call 'our Rob or Ross'.

 

We're looking at a very small window here during which everything could go spectacularly right or spectacularly wrong.

[Wor Horse]

I can and will. If he goes to Chelsea he's a cunt. Simple as

[Gary Mac Legend]

The square root of all our problems, David Moores. How does he feel about all this? Oh wait, he wrote a pathetic letter begging for sympathy from the fans and the club he signed the death warrant of.

[Bogman]

Will it take something like Nano and Stevie to get sold to finally wake up the majority of our fanbase, or will they carry on sitting on their hands?

[Kopite Pete]

So according to Tony Evans, plans are underway to sell Torres and Gerrard. Well If thats the case then selling the club is a bluff and the asset stripping has started. Funny how benny noon was sold the day after Woy was appointed.

Time will tell.

[Wor Horse]

Evans knows fuck all.

 

Now if it was Barrett or Smith I'd be worried.

[G Richards]

With all due respect you didn't set it aside earlier in your own post. Hodgson's been written off already by many. I wouldn't pretend to know how he'll actually fare here, rather than anywhere else. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt at the moment. (Seeing as mutual respect has gone out the window between players and managers, he'd be quite entitled in a fair world to ask Gerrard and Torres: 'So, are you going to play better this season than you did last? I need assurances because I'm ambitious'.)

 

Class!

[Red Phoenix]

We're looking at a very small window here during which everything could go spectacularly right or spectacularly wrong.

 

Agreed, at least we'll know what the fuck is actually going on over the next few weeks.

[Best Believe It]

Evans knows fuck all.

Very much not true.

[G Richards]

I'm not nearly as concerned about the possiblity of Stevie going. He game is about pace and power, and last season he was starting to look leggy to me. He has been a great for us for years, but I don't think he is key to the future.

 

Now, if Stevie moving on triggered Nando's departure, then that's a different story. But taking it in isolation, I honestly would not be too bothered if Stevie went - for the right price (invested back into the team) or for the right player exchange/s.

 

Nando staying on is more crucial to the fortunes of the team. I hope he stays for one more year to see how the ownership saga plays out, but that's about the best we can hope for.

 

Finally, the contract point is mostly to protect the interests of the club in this Bosman era. Just because Nando is on a long contract does not mean he has to honour it. Imagine if he had 12 months remaining and came out with 'I fully intend to honour my contract here at Liverpool.' He would be called all sorts for not signing a new deal to favour the club.

 

All a lengthy contract means is that the club is suitably compensated should the player move on.

[Antynwa]

Torres owes us a year, I've always maintained that.

[The Dude Abides]

He's be just another cunt if he did go. Which wouldn't surprise me.

[zigackly]

No-one is asking him to honour all five years of it though Rev. Just to show a bit of decorum.

 

Signing for one of our English rivals a year into a contract after all the things he's said about us would be the actions of a cunt. There would be no other way to interpret it.

[gkmacca]

Roy is a yes man

 

Evidence?

[Horus]

When did he say that mate?

 

It was that sycophantic interview that the Echo did with him not long after he arrived.

 

Liverpool Echo - News - Liverpool Local News - Liverpool FC confirm new investors hopes but deny they would sell stars like Torres and Gerrard

 

The quote I used is on that page.

Contradicting yourself is not just common among the suits:

 

"I'm a foreign player, but I know how the Liverpool fans feel and I remember the welcome I had when I arrived - it was amazing.

 

"I hope to play a lot of years or maybe even finish my career here.

 

"I don't know, but Liverpool is my English team and I don't think about playing for another one."

 

Torres: I won't join a rival - Liverpool FC

Or maybe he was sold the day after the transfer window opened, after he was told by the previous manager 8 weeks earlier he could go, so found himself a new club

Ermmm so he wasn't thinking about playing for another English club 9 months ago whilst the season was well underway...... Means nothing. He never says I'll never play for another English club.
