Adebayor and Ireland + £40m for Torres and Gerrard

I'M NOT AN ITK
In the News of the World tomorrow.
We're giving them Adeabyor, Ireland and £40m, and they're giving us Torres and Gerrard.

Seems like a perfectly good deal to me, even though the story itself is bullcrap.

We keep Ireland and that sounds a good deal to me.

Sounds OK.. I'd even be happy if they only gave us £20m..

North, South or both and do they have to take responsibility for security?

LlI'll take that every day of the week even though I'd be sad to see Ireland go.

I would say Ade is valued at about £20m (£25m was the "City-price"), Ireland i reckon would go for around £10m if we were to sell him, putting the value of our alleged bid at about £70m. £70m for Torres and Gerrard would be a good deal. Torres could command such a figure on his own, if a bidding war was to develop. With that in mind, the question is why would Liverpool accept our bid? The hope i guess, is that they realise much of the Torres money wont be available for transfers, so getting players as part of any deal may be their prefered method.
