Torres mega-thread

[Guest davelfc]

I'd rather see him at city than the chavs, they're less of a rival in my eyes and it'd show him for what he is, a greedy cunt.

 

I agree, a greedier cunt.

 

Plus they have better players we can part trade and stupid money.

[Gym Beglin]

Does anyone think the timing indicates that his transfer request was in some way connected to the signing of Suarez?

 

Perhaps we've offered a ton of wages for Suarez, or a honking signing on fee, and this has riled Nando's agent into buzzing in his ear about not being valued?

 

It just seems too fucking odd that Torres wants to leave as soon as we sign one of the best forwards in Europe to partner the lad. It seems deffo related to Suarez in some way.

So, if he joins Chelsea what is he? Like or not, its pretty hard to call him a greedy cunt. All the teams that would want him have more of a chance than winning stuff than we have. The move isnt motivated by money.

[M_B]

Set a price of 80 million and see if anyone comes up with it.

 

Otherwise wait to the summer.

[Whelan]

I have had 24 hours to think about this situation, read the papers and digest all the information.

 

Fuck him! He has clearly been unhappy for months, yet has only decided to put his transfer request in three days before the end of the window, a calculated shitty trick. Could not really move to Chelsea in the summer because Chelsea thought we were fucked financially and only wanted to offer a derisory amount, Broughton a Chelsea season ticket holder would have looked really unprofessional if he sanctioned that (regardless of what he has since done for the club), so he waits plays shit and we all forgive him, he plays well against one particular team and doesn't give a fuck the rest of the season, fuck me he was probably ecstatic that Hodgson was the manager, he had a perfectly valid cover for his lack of urgency, he was probably gutted that Kenny was made manager and his 'get out of jail without looking like a sly cunt card' was gone!

 

Fuck him, 45 million and Anelka, or fuck off. Get Nzogbia in and already we are a better team, then go on a winning streak and beat the old age cunts to 4th place.

 

I saw Rush go and replaced by Aldridge who was a much more limited player, but Barnes and Beardsley accompanied him and gave us another dimension.

[Josef Svejk]

Chelsea, I ask you. Why that cess pit of a football club?

 

It's like your missus jibbing you for an ageing Shane McGowan, minus the talent and looks.

 

By "looks", I assume you're referring to the new set of teeth?

 

[Kopite]

By "looks", I assume you're referring to the new set of teeth?

 

And clean fingers, instead of the yellow variety.

 

[Gym Beglin]

Get Klose please.

 

Seconded, a bit of experience and effort.

People only go to city for one reason Rob, if not, why would Tevez have gone there, and why would Rooney have been so desperate to follow him? City and Chelsea before them basically built sides by sending their players to 'have a word' in the ear of their chosen targets, with money being high on the conversation agenda.

[BatChainPuller]

It would certainly sit more easily as they are even more classless and mercenary, but city are an equal or greater threat to us breaking into the top four again - they would be much more effective with him up top.

He wants to win the champions league, he'll have 2 chances to do that if he moves in this window with Chelsea before even being in the competition with us, and that's even if we get past 2 of Tottenham/Arsenal/Man City/Chelsea/ManUtd next season.

 

He also took a paycut to join Liverpool in 2007, so the timing stinks but it isn't about money.

[Red Phoenix]

Fucking blue moon. They're already doing lineups and formations with torres in them.

With the money they have why not? I've seen the same with Adam on Liverpool websites.

[jaris mullet]

This is horrible. I cant bring myself to say 'fuck him' just yet, but im sure it will come.

Chelsea...why them.Why?

I like the idea of saying ' we will sell him to real madrid and no one else' though...

[Jefecito]

The key to selling him IMO,is getting a decent replacement for at least the rest of the season. We dont want to be left with Suarez and Ngog as our main strikers as that wouldnt help even if Suarez was on fire.

 

Indeed. I'd be very surprised if the club isn't already working on a replacement though.

 

Anelka isn't someone I'd want, even if it was just short term.

[Fugitive]

Seconded, a bit of experience and effort.

 

Klose!!!!

 

Dont be daft. He's 32 years of age and has only scored 4 league goals in the past 2 seasons.

But Tevez joined City two years ago when they were only finishing in the top 10. They can win the league now, and they are probably going to go far in the cup. Money would have been high on the agenda when they were first taken over, but when they are in the champions league they dont have to entice people with money anymore. Obviously, if Torres moves he'll get a pay rise, but he left Atleti to win trophies and he's doing the same here.

It may not be Chelsea yet. If City make a firm bid, i expect it to blow the shit out of the Chavski offer. Any know body knows who this 3rd team are yet.

 

We do whats best for us, not Torres. And thats the way it should be.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Torres just turned up at Melwood.

[Red Phoenix]

Just thought it was strange, have only just heard the rumours they might be in for him recently. A lot of Chelsea fans seem to have been talking about it but reserved since friday, City fans are already wondering how he'll play and in what formation.

[The Dude Abides]

Klose!!!!

 

Dont be daft. He's 32 years of age and has only scored 4 league goals in the past 2 seasons.

 

15 goals in 20 starts for the season altogether though. Would be the perfect stop gap.

[Unrighteous]

15 goals in 20 games for the season altogether though. Would be the perfect stop gap.

 

I don't think we should be buying any players over 25, to be honest. Even Stop gap.

[a stoner]

Torres just turned up at Melwood.

 

Does this mean a conclusive statement is iminent?

[Vim Fuego]

Problem is City could offer us £100 million, if Torres doesn't want to go there then we're forced into selling him for a lower figure to wherever it is he does want to go to or we keep hold of a sulking player until the next window.

[The Dude Abides]

Experience can go a long way. Contract running out in the Summer too. Just a thought.
