Torres mega-thread

[billypilgrimnz]

Is Sturridge any good? How much would he be worth?

 

Hasn't scored in 13, Kalou is preferred to him. Says it all, really.

[Judge]

Players have to look after themselves and their careers, doesn't matter if it's Gerrard, Carragher, Torres, or even Dalglish all those years ago when he departed Celtic.

 

This club has been a clusterfuck for the last 2 years; a culmination of being poorly run for the last 2 decades.

 

I don't want to be part of some lynch mob that continually misses the point.

 

Fucking mong. Negged.

[ODZ]

If Torres goes, does Suarez come?

Fernando Torres to see out his contract with Liverpool - Goal.com

 

"More than ever, we need to stick together," Torres told The People. "We must live in the present, from match to match.

 

"We need to add more points, win matches and improve our standing in the table.

 

"That is our challenge and I demand the total help of our supporters in doing that.

 

"My head is in Liverpool and on helping save our season. I am professional and I always fulfil my deals.

 

"I haven't considered leaving, although in football that depends on the club.

 

"Liverpool had a lot of success under Rafa Benitez and that is difficult for anyone to follow.

 

"Even if the ball hasn't always dropped our way this season, we have missed out in a lot of matches."

He said this a few weeks ago after Kenny's appointment. Why would he change his mind in a couple of weeks when we now can see some improvement?

Fucking mong. Negged.

 

Yeah, good one.

 

Fantastic contribution.

 

Why did you even bother, you internet soldier, you clattering bellend.

 

Ooo negged

for what it's worth (probably not much) the Chelsea fans I know think its a joke Kalou gets in ahead of him

[Delmar]

I'll wait until I hear some further official word on this matter, then I will be delighted/devastated/furious/philosophical depending on what that official word might be.

 

Reasoned approach and misplaced trust in official word kills the joy on the planet. "Panic now" is the way.

[Wingman]

Neil Lennon in there too

[redsfan]

Am just gonna throw this out there and i have no prejudices, genuinely asking a question here but with that times article coming into the domain, if and its a big if, Torres stays and what is being reported is a load of bull, would Barrett lose a bit of his credibility? He is top bloke and talks sense but just wondering?

[Ziggy Stardust]

I'll be gutted whenever he eventually leaves, and angry if the rumours are true, but until I see any shred of evidence that they are, I'll support Torres.

 

Can't deny that I'm worried though.

[Horus]

I'm not making excuses for Torres here, but to the people claiming he should give NESV a chance.......Maybe he thinks that we need more than signing Charlie Adam and Suarez in January. If we get to summer then we do actually seriously bolster the squad, then he's almost obliged to stay another year (out of champions league), otherwise everyone and their dogs will still be saying he should give us another year to see how things gel. Chelsea are champions and some young, top quality blood away from kicking the shit out of everyone again. We have Dirk on the right, no one on the left and a surplus of mediocrity in midfield.

 

As me, I'd stay at the club, but if I was him I'd be gone in a flash. I'd like to think, however, that I wouldn't go to Chelsea.

depends really, if he wants to leave but is made to stay or a fee isnt agreed thats not really Tony B's fault is it?

 

if Torres comes out with a statement denying he's asked to leave things may look different

Why would he? Do you think he's making it up? If something changes, then it changes, like what happened with Rooney, and Tevez, only this season. But as of right now, Torres wants to go.

What else can you expect in Jan?

 

By some players do you mean half a first 11?

[redsfan]

Why would he? Do yo uthink he;s making it up? If something changes, then it changes, like what happened with Rooney, and Tevez, only this season. But as of this moment in time, Torres wants to go.

 

No not at all i for one believe there may be something in it, because of him reporting it. Just wanted to see peoples opinions of the matter.

[Red Phoenix]

Still think it's bullshit. Just can't imagine him doing something like this, so will keep faith in him until proven otherwise.

[billypilgrimnz]

Fair enough, I don't watch Chelsea at all, just going off what I read. But I suspect any makeweight on the Torres deal is going to be less than stellar.

[waiting game]

I think leaving us with a few days to find a replacement is bang out of order. IF this is true and its a big IF, then Torres is a first class arsehole.

Why would you take the words of Pin Up Boy, a professional footballer, at face value?

Can't see so many high profile journos staking their reputations on something that has no substance. They clearly have solid info from a good source. Does it mean he will definitely leave? Of course not. Does it mean that he has indicated that he wants to leave? I would say almost certainly. And even if he stays, the fact that he has even considered fucking off and leaving us for them with only a few days left of the transfer window means he is a giant bellend, as well as a liar.

[RafaLaBamba]

I won't have a shed of respect for Fernando if he goes to chelsea. Where he would be playing for a team who fucking hate him and sing so many offensive songs about him when he comes to Anfield. With Dalglish in charge and owners who are willing to spend money to improve the team here right now, Torres' timing will have been fucking awful. I literally will be disgusted if he moves to such a classless team.

[Randy Marsh]

Whatever happens we won't sell him now. He will not go with 3 days left to go in January, not a chance.

I am hiding my heart crushing panic and impotent rage behind a bland facade of reason and dispassion. Oh, and alcohol......and Seroxat.

Times: #LFC official position remains that he's not for sale - but they'd consider cashing in if he's adamant he wants to join plazzyflags.

We will consider it. 3 days to go, im not sure what to make of all this.

If reasoning like this is wide spread he should just go, why bother staying. It is a no win situation, reminds me of Benitez last year.
