Fernando Torres

[Marvin]

Simple reason Marvin. If Chelsea sign Torres then he is hardly going to drop Drogba, he will drop Anelka. Yes, grant, he could probably rotate them game to game but at the end of the day he is almost 32 and coming up to retirement. What better way to get first team football at a team you've played for previously, get another signing on fee plus making more money for his troublesome agent and doing his upmost to get his former club back into the top four next season? It just makes sense to me.

Liverpool have started winning again and they're on the verge of the Europa League places which is quite an achievement given how shit they've been. Saurez and Anelka could be the strikers they need to push them that bit further to gauruntee European football next season.

No one wants to play in the Europa League when they can fight for titles and play in the Champions League

Anelka walked out on City because he wanted to play at the highest level. On that basis I can't see him swapping CFC for LFC

Isn't "play" the key word here?

No he left City for religious reasons, hence the motive behind joining Fenerbache. He wanted to go to the Middle East if I'm not mistaken but it was too big a step down so he went to the next best thing a Muslim footballer could do; he went to Turkey.

 

[Plain Speaking]

I have an account with Betfair and they are still giving odds of 1.81 Torres will stay and odds of 1.91 he will go. Given he has handed in a transfer request the latter seems a very good bet to me! Liverpool havent got rich backers and can't afford to keep an unhappy player.
(Also Betfair are giving 3.6 odds on Mourinho being the next United manager. IMHO this is the nearest thing to being a "dead cert" and I have put a big bet on it.)

Is he worth £50m














I reckon he is.

 

[g180aj]

Is he worth £50m

yes he is the best out and out goal scorer on his day i have ever seen and for us he would be sensational, worst thing we could do is let chelsea sign him especially as we have dzeko, tevez, mario and jo 2 of which are injured and jo may aswell be. torres would gaurantee us silverwhere and take the pressure of edin and carlos.

 

[dref619]

id do a redknapp and put an offer in for him even if we have no intention of signing him

Dont see why we would bid 75mil when Chelsea have bid 35mil / 40mil
