Fernando Torres

[sniff]

City can offer all the money we want, its not going to change the fact he has already knocked us back in previous attempts to sign him.

Torres isnt interested in a move to City, and never has been.

Circumstances have changed.

Can't see us bidding for him, he wouldn't fit into our system with everyone's fit, there's no need to sign him.

Yes we took no and signed someone else, but Torres thinks we are not of the required calibre for his services. Like it or not thats what he thinks, so it be shooting yourself in the foot bidding for him.

Imagine the media with that story, City offer more than Chelsea, Torres rejects the offer.

at the min we have 4 forwards dzeko(new still settleing in) tevez(at prescent injured) balo(also injured and still not settled) and jo like playing with 10 men when he playes how can we not have a reason to buy a natural goal scorer like torres

silva alone is enough reason why he would want to sign not to mention we are still in a good position for europa league, champs league place, fa cup and maybe even the prem not to menion that he said he wanted to play with tevez a couple of seasons ago, and we have never had an offer accepted for him to turn us down he has just made statements loyal to liverpool but now his feelings have changed.

According to the Sunday Express Torres' advisors floated the idea of him being offered to us, City apparently replied with a solid 'No'. Check their website and see Sunday's main story sports about his move.

Notion of Torres becoming recently unsettled is false. Told #mcfc 18months ago he was interested in offers.Clearly saw #LFC demise coming.

Seems City are really not interested which I find strange but we've gotta trust our guys know what they are doing (I hope)

I would love him here but I dont see it happening. I would see him playing extremely well in a front 3 with Tevez and Dzeko. Dzeko in the middle and Torres and Tevez off, Silva in behind and a solid midfield 2 (De Jong and Yaya). Balo concerns me, he is young and this knee injury hopefully isnt too bad but to have a forward line of those 5 and we rotate with 4 of them would be incredible.

Slightly gutted we aint going out for him... with the right players around him he can be deadly, simply lacking confidence at the moment and no surprise with what Liverpool are going through. Alot of players been going out the club over the years and been replaced with a shower of shit. The only key player they have left is Gerrard.

Id presume Liverpool would want a replacement in this window and thats what is holding up any deal.

However the players would be chosen by who? Dalgleish? Who is on a short term ccontract.

Any new manager at the end of the season will want money to spend. But if they spend £30m in this window they wont have much to give a new manager.

In other words Liverpool dont benefit from this transfer in my book

Dalgliesh is not a long term option surely.

dunno, but they're obviously not bothered about letting him invest if he isnt

 

[the blue panther]

I'm not going to take anything Ladyboy says at face value but if that is indeed true then perhaps City have moved on from Torres and are simply not interested now due to partial loss of form/injuries.

To be honest, I hope he stays at Liverpool until the summer. If he goes to Chelsea now then if he stays fit for the rest of the season he could fire them back into the title race and we might be left battling it out with Spurs for 4th spot.

Probably BS but spanish media apparantly saying city have bid in excess of £50 million to secure Torres...

Neither can I. I wouldnt complain if he did sign for us, but it really wouldnt bother me if we didnt get him. I can honestly say thats the first time as a City fan i've ever felt able to turn down a player like Torres, crazy!

I know exactly how you feel mate - surreal isn't it! I posted this in the transfer thread in reply to someone who 'would be gutted if we didn't get Torres'... but feel it relevant here too..

Torres on his day and in the mood is a fabulous player, and I would have him at City no sweat.

But we can't buy everyone! Players will move between clubs, and it stands to reason that our rivals have cash, so will buy class players. We have a fabulous squad, and Dzecko, when he has settled in, I am convinced will become City goalscoring legend.

So don't panic, Chelsea won't become world beaters overnight (will Drogba and Torres gel for starters?), and Spurs are starting to feel the strain....

Got a touch of de-ja-vu reading that haha! I think our strikeforce is complete and I wouldnt want to add to it now, let them settle in together and the goals will follow. I agree about Dzeko, can see him scoring goals for fun once he settles into the 'Mancini' system.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Very surprised that we dont appear to be interested. It doesnt seem concrete that Chelsea can come up with the required money so why not throw in a £45 million bid and get Liverpool to accept. It then leaves Torres with a straight choice between staying at the club he has just handed in a transfer request to or coming City!

 

[The Game 77]

We should buy him his goalscoring rate is second to none and have we really have a proper 30 goals a year forward the answer is no it would be a massive mistake if we didn't go for him.
And would he really reject us i cannot see it we are in such a better place than we was when we tried before
