Hodgson on Torres

[Rex Banner]

That's the spirit.

"I don't have a problem with you personally, I just can't believe they hired you!"

[gkmacca]

There are no signs, no messages. Reina put the LFC scarf on him. Red is Spain's colours as well as LFC's. We don't know what he's going to do. Wait and see.

Torres is on holiday, he has been at the World Cup, why exactly does he need to confirm he is staying?

 

Personally I would confirm fuck all and report back to Melwood when I had finished my holiday after what has been a long and difficult season.

[Rex Banner]

When's he due back anyway? It must be soon.

think its next Monday

[Rex Banner]

Isn't it strange players are still on holidays when we're playing competitive games.

As strange as Argentina not having a reception for mobile phones to return calls.....

Mate to be fair to Purselow if Torres leaves it really has nothing to do with him and everything to do with his bossex

 

That's as fitting a typo as I've ever seen, Nick. Have some rep.

[Red Phoenix]

Obviously total guesswork, but I think he's just fucking with Cecil while he's on his holiday. If that's the case he'll know that some of the fans will be pissed off with him for a while, but might see it as worth it if it gets another player or two bought, and that the fans realise that as time passes. I'd guess that if he says he's staying it'll be next tuesday or wednesday that we find out if his holiday ends on monday.

 

Another striker might be his priority now, just so that he doesn't feel so much weight on his shoulders next season.

[JohnnyH]

Sounds like Torres is gone, but I still can't believe Hodgson came out with the comments he did. What was he thinking? Nothing good comes from what he spouted. Should of just said, "we are hopeful he will stay and we'll talk to him when he gets back from his holidays". I don't like the "not my fault" stuff he is coming out with already.

Torres' 'beef' - our understanding is it's a contract issue, possibly linked to image rights, NOT about transfers

Well they would say that wouldn't they.

[Guest TK-421]

I've got a feeling he'll be playing in Barca's colours next season.

[Whelan]

I enjoyed Sky's interpretation on Hodgson's comments, that Nando had a problem with the previous regime! Which is A. Not what he said and B. Completely illogical.

 

I don't think he will leave, but I guess that it was Purslow who lied to him last time, so no reason to believe what he has to say now is there?

[Unrighteous]

They can't afford him.

 

 

Anyway, Torres needs to do something/say something very quickly. We can't have this cloud hanging over the squad... he either needs to say, "Sell me" or "I'm not going anywhere".

agreed, but if he can force Purslows hand in releasing some funds to the manager before he commits to the future then all the better

 

im trying the optimistic route this week

Exactly what I thought when I saw that. The spinning starts here.

[Gary Mac Legend]

If he signed a contract in good faith last year, and got a load of broken promises, it's not his fault, that's the clubs. He's well within his rights to leave, and I don't think any fan should hold it against him. He deserves better, but so do we, if he does want to leave, he should make that clear soon. However, I'm liking this suggestion by some of you that he's making Purslow sweat, into signing players. If Torres demands a move, no matter how the club spins it, we know the truth and Cecil will be in some very deep shit.

I hold it against him because i like every other cunt, work hard to pay for my season tickets and away days.

 

so if he joins Chelsea I'm not buying anymore wine gums from the kiosk, that'll show the twats!

[PaulMcC]

I don't think KopMagazine would make that up.

 

They aren't afraid of having a go at the owners/club.

If your employer offered you an improved contract stating you would have say for example, reduced hours, better equipment and tools to work with, an extra member of staff to your team and increased holiday time and pay, then 12 months on they never delivered on it and had lied to you outright, you wouldn't be very fucked off and tempted to join a rival company where they would deliver on all of those promises?

 

Come on, the lads been fucked about by the snakes in the board-room. He's not a scouser either, he's a life-long Atletico fan and he left his boyhood club to come here. I'm sure he didn't come here to be fucked about by LBO sharks and investment bankers.

 

Do one better, I haven't been to Anfield in 5 months and won't be going until Tom and George are gone. It's all about away games next season, they're just a bitch to get tickets for.
