Anelka not keen on P/ E with Torres. Personally im glad, as i think we could invest in better, but on the other hand a recognised striker to play alongside Suarez until the summer when Torres can be properly replaced.

Annelka does intend moving back to liverpool so its 50 million cash no instalments straight away torres meant to left the kings office in tears( not sure about that) and expect a couple more in by close of play young adams and money to be saved til summer
(2) (3)
sorry mate but on sky sports it says anelka not keen on liverpool move so that one may be out of the water but i guess never say never
30 Jan 2011 22:39:16
Why are the eds adamant that aqualiani doesn't wish to play for us again? as i have never read anything which confirms what the eds say. I would hope he would play for us again as otherwise i cannot understand why he signed for us. eds could you please enlighten me to why you believe he is not interested in rejoining us?
{Editor Note: Because he made that clear to the club and he has stated he wants a permanent move to Juventus. He was a pansy anyway.}
30 Jan 2011 22:38:18
Do you think it would be worth a 4m bid on shay given, if torres goes i think pepe may rethink his position at the end of the season, just a thought, rob
30 Jan 2011 22:38:09

So according to an earier poster:
In an interview, Suarez said about himself that he feels his best position is slightly behind a slightly less mobile strike partner.
surely that means he'd be great playing behind kuyt (a committed liverpool player). . so heres a punt use the cash from selling torres (if he wants to go let him go) to sign honda and ashley young (maybe adam too) and see just how far we can go. . ok we're short at left back but johnson has done enough for me to prove he can play there til the summer
30 Jan 2011 22:37:34

Hey ed i have posted on here a few times but never been shown i feel we should let torres go for £50 mil and bring back anelka he is wasted at chelsea he could bring back the glory days to anfield with suarez adam enrique from newcastle on the left with young in front off him i would also play johnson on the right hand side of mid with kelly behind him think this would give him a new lease of life out there wot do you think ed pls post this thanks
{Editor Note: I'd only like Adam from that list personally.}

Ed, do you think torres will go this window? And if so, do you think we've lined up anyone to replace him?

Spurs have had a bid for Aguero turned down. We apparently have an excellent relationship with A Madrid. I wonder could we sneek in at the death with a deal; maybe the buyout plus Pacheco on loan?

Just sayin on ssn spurs r trying 2 buy nearly every striker in Spain the 38.5 mill they hav offered 4 aguaro & llorente is not enough cos they hav 2 pay taxes & vat also which comes 2 60 million euros so I can't c us buying any of these players
30 Jan 2011 22:36:34

Am I correct in saying that Suarez will be cup-tied for the Europa League? Well if Nando does leave we will need a top class replacement in very little time. Who is looking most likely Ed? Ps. .Great site!
In Kenny We Trust!

30 Jan 2011 22:34:19
Torres the man.no class joining chelsea the team with no class, with team mates with no class.terry cole lampard no class, with an owner that even he can't buy class, good riddance. Hope kk puts your reasons for leaving on the dressing room wall as the biggest incentive to the rest of the lads and they ram the words down your throat next year when were flying high.you and chelsea deserve each other.just ask michael owen what happened when he left looking for trophies, i pray that lightening strikes twice, you won't find loyalty like at liverpool anywhere, we are unique and we will never walk alone. .

Hi ed, as someone else commented why is it we always seem to loose our best players on transfer deadline day, masch, alonso, now Torres, is there in your opinion realistically time to get someone else in?
{Editor Note: There is time. But if we are to bring someone else in, I'm sure we'll already have someone lined up.}

30 Jan 2011 22:32:45
Sky Sports News report that Spurs have bid £38.5million (euros 45million) for Aguero - but the bid was rejected, which does trigger his release clause.

Wondering if torres stays and plays against stoke how many times we will hear fernando torres liverpool s number 9
30 Jan 2011 22:32:29
Ed plzz post todaii i have posted at least ten times and not one f my posts has made it. They were good valid posts which i had to dig up information for and spent alot of time on s plzz post nyway is the news of us havin a bid rejected for Toivonen and spurs havin a bid for Aguero rejected true where and when has the information come cheers {ed's note - both are true, Atletico confirmed the bid for Aguero as they want to appease their fans, hence why they are going public. The Toivonen rejection comes from the same editor who said there would be a twist regarding Aguero.}
30 Jan 2011 22:32:22
Really hope if torres goes then Cavani is his replacement. . hes top quality and him and suarez would be unreal
30 Jan 2011 22:30:24
I hear all these bad things being said about Torres. But he had been a good player for liverpool, he has done his job with honour while other people at the club have been. Well you know.
I wish him well, he should move back to spain. Play for a bigger club than liverpool. I don't think chelsea is step up. Chelsea need 50 million pounds of new players in midfield and defense.
Torres has shown the club alot of loyalty. 2 seasons in football is like a life time. You have to admit liverpool will not be in the champions league. They will not be winning anything within the next 3 season. Torres has just become too good for liverpool. He is a champions league player and wants to apply his trade at the top level. Its time for him to leave and the fans should wish him well on his way out of the club.
"He's shown loyalty", for the past two years we haven't seen the best of him. So nobody would have touched him. He was struggling and used us to get his head back. I'm angry at the way he has treated us fans. It would be very ironic if Chelsea won nothing this season and we won the Europa cup, how sweet would that be. Good riddance. . . If he said he was staying though I'd be first in the queue to cheer him, I'm you typical fickle LFC fan.

30 Jan 2011 22:29:47
Eds, macca is torres defo leaving then?if he is who do you think is most likely replacement
lorente
aguero
gervinho
i can't believe torres as done this to us, he will regret this for the rest of his career, now nando you will walk alone
irish kev {ed's note - he was always going to go, but he did say he would stay until the summer, that is why I kept saying he would be here in February and no more. But the Russian's money was too much for him to turn down. I think Hoarau is the likeliest striker signing.}
Ed?
This post above is not from me.
The above poster signed off as "irish kev" but that is someone else either pretending to be me or i'm losing my mind.
Cheers,
Irish Kev. {ed's note - no worries mate, I am just glad you have a mind to lose!}
30 Jan 2011 22:29:35
Ed, tell me we are replacing torres with another world class stiker. ie llorente? {ed's note - no, we are not likely to get another high-priced striker, but Adam and Young and probably 2 others by the looks of it, one being a striker. Though it is changing all the time as talks break down or resume.}
30 Jan 2011 22:29:10
Ed, do u think we will sign Aguero tomorrow? {ed's note - no I don't see it happening unfortunately.}
30 Jan 2011 22:29:00
Ed If it's true that aguero is a Liverpool fan and we do allow Torres to leave tomorrow do you think he could be swayed as easily as it would seem Torres has? And could we get a deal that big done in a day? {ed's note - he is a Liverpool fan, no idea if he would be swayed though. A deal can be done in a matter of hours.}
30 Jan 2011 22:28:08
Anyone think that Torres was waiting for Suarez deal to happen (or be close) before handing in his request - i.e. not to leave us up a creek without a paddle?
I think some of the comments coming from LFC fans is a bit extreme. Give the lad a break.
I'm sure if NESV had promised him Aguero as a strike partner as Chelski have, he would have stayed.
30 Jan 2011 22:27:28
Anyone else heard aguero 38 million to spurs? And where is our bid if he's on the market for that sort of money?
Any truth in this eds? Thanks,
RED-RICK {ed's note - there is a lot of truth in it, they have had a lot of bids rejected for strikers this window and are starting to seem a little desperate.}
30 Jan 2011 22:26:05

Doubt that Aguero's buy out is around 40mil as Spurs have jus had 38.5mil rejected unless he is waitin to go to another club? Liverpool? I could dream.

Ed how good do u think hoarau is? Who would u liken him to in prem. . Thoughts please? Thanks thank god you up an running again- tom {ed's note - I don't know a lot about him to be honest, all I was told is he is a decent EPL-level target man. Should work well with Suarez if we get him by the sound of it.}

We signed him from the netherlands, suarez, suarez. He'll bite you on your neck again suarez, suarez. He plays in goal, he plays up front, he's better than the other c..t, luis suarez, is liverpools number 9!
30 Jan 2011 22:24:33
Ed earlier on another ed said he knew something big about aguero but couldn't say cause he would get into trouble do you no anything about this? Also any news about any bids made ? {ed's note - I can't say any more than has already been said, I wish I could.}
30 Jan 2011 22:23:32
ED, how dare you have server problems when we're all trying to get the latest on the Torres situation. Damn you! :D {ed's note - believe me I have been getting more frustrated than you with the hosting company continually cutting me off when I call!}
I thought my host was poor but at least I don't get down time like that. Glad all is well now though. {ed's note - to be fair it has never happened before, but that doesn't make it feel any better!}
ed today was bad but if it goes down like that for the same time tomorrow then there ll be suicides happening {ed's note - yes mine will be the first!}
30 Jan 2011 22:22:46
Can anyone enlighten me as to how the he'll spurs have got 38.5million for aguero he rejected and I'm not surprised they are a club who think they are everything and they are not

I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IN EVERY TRANSFER WINDOW WE LOOSE ONE OF OUR BEST PLAYERS WITH JUSY DAYS TO GO AND NO TIME TO GET IN A REPLACEMENT IT HAPPENED WITH ALONSO, MASCH AND NOW TORRES
WHAT IS GOING ON!
in fairness when we lost masch we gained meireles, so lets see whats going to happen, personally i think kenny will tell him , look nando son, play your heart out from now til summer and we ll get you your transfer out of here and he ll be here until the summer at which time the likes of benzema will be touted as a replacement
30 Jan 2011 22:20:34

If torres wants to go, let him we need a squad of players who wear the crest on their shirt with pride.He's a great player, but he is not LFC, grab the money & rebuild with it.
30 Jan 2011 22:20:19
This is theturdz speaking
a warning to torres from history the grass in never greener on the other side and kenny dalglish is all you will never be
30 Jan 2011 22:18:19
So the big one , will helsea cough up and what will we do if they do? we must surely be racing against time looking for replacements currently , pity adebayor has already gone to madrid. i reckon torres will stay until summer personally. the annoying thing is this wreaks havoc with our transfer plans regarding wingers left back midfield and other areas of the team that need sorting , nando is a bit of a git for this, he should have come to this point weeks ago
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bit of a git! He's a first class t**t. The overriding concern for me is that Chelsea arn't a million miles fom experiencing similar problems to us. They have an aging team and require a comprehensive overhaul to return it back to a challenging force. Clearly Torres has been briefed that Chelsea intend to invest heavily in an aging squad. Henry's inaugaration included him asking us all to judge NESV on their actions. Well in no doubt after witnessing Commolli scurrying around Europe trying to pick pocket well respected football clubs of their quality, Torres realised what a tin pot outfit Liverpool are becoming and decided on a move to a club who's owners action are a bit more consistent with what is needed in the modern game to compete at the top level.

Athletico refused bid 38.5 mil from spurs for aguero! spurs refused and chelsea refused, think we should try now
30 Jan 2011 22:15:46
F@@k him - agree 50mil at the end of season then play him in the reserves till May.
Play either Kuyt or Pacheco with Suarez, get a Winger and left back and go for it - with Kenny we can't fail.
No one is bigger than our club and never will be! Well except one person that may come close, but he's our manager.
30 Jan 2011 22:14:51
Ed's, alot of conspiracey theroist's amounst my mates who were concerned that the site had been hit by a deliberate problem, after all this is the biggest Lfc rumour site and with the bad publicity going around about Torres, thought you may have been targeted.
Whats the latest on anything?
Trying to catch up. {ed's note - the server crashed and the host company weren't answering their phones. No idea what caused the problem though.}
30 Jan 2011 22:14:43
I do not want to loose Torres as he is a quality striker. The concern is that we will not sign any other players in January. If we don't I must admit Torres is right.
Ed do you think we will sign anyone else? {ed's note - yes.}

Ed, this window is turning into the funniest ever.
We'll be probably after horaeu(spelling) while spurs are bidding for llorente and aquero. Ed, aren't these suppose to be are targets for torres replacement. Ed, your thoughts? {ed's note - we need a lot of other positions strengthening, whereas Spurs are only looking for strikers in this window.}
30 Jan 2011 22:13:08
We have no need to sell we left the change of manager to long to get in the top 4 we are out of the cup we will struggle to get a striker who isn't cup tied for the europa league.so nock them back if they come in with 50 million an wait till the summer till barca an man city will come in.hes messed us up lets do the same to him an chelski! {ed's note - why not just give Pacheco a chance in the Europa?}

Get Aguero NOW! ! ! Spurs had £38.5 have rejected

Hes big mates with Maxi
If we sell Nando we would have the cash
We could probaly afford to bid upto £50m if we sold Torres
MAKE IT HAPPENWe won't though, wew are far too slow in the transfer market, different guys doin the transfers same results
GET A GRIP LIVERPOOL
30 Jan 2011 22:11:30
Well if Nando is off its either Kuyt or Jovanovic upfront with Suarez. Ed, could you picture Jova up front with Suarez? or maybe teh "less mobile" Kuyt? {ed's note - the club is intent on getting in a replacement.}

I know life must go on after Torres, but i feel such disapointment and hurt.
I can't forgive him for going to chelsea, as he has gone back on his words when he said he would never play for another PL team. If Torres had of agreed to go back to spain I would have accepted it.
Goodbye Fernando, You will never be remembered by me. I hope you kiss that chelsea badge with pride, You traitor.

Your back ed. can you tell me anything about how good this french player hoarau is mate as some one told me he may be the most likely striker to replace torres. had a quick look on you tube but what about all ive seen of him.is there any chance of this he looks a bit like andy carrol.what do think and how much would he cost. . {ed's note - I haven't seen a lot of him either mate sorry, but he should be available at a reasonable price, less than 10m according to what I have been told. Though that might jump as Torres is going.}
30 Jan 2011 22:08:11
During the takeover I agreed with one of the Eds in saying I would hate a mega rich sugar daddy but I was wrong we cannot compete Spurs £38.5m for Aguero WTF Torres leaving WTF we are sinking fast.
30 Jan 2011 22:07:47
We could spend £50million very wisely to solve a lot of our problems; Coentrao, Alonso & van Wolfswinkel.
Reina
Johnson - Kelly - Agger - Coentrao
Gerrard - Alonso - Meireles
Pacheco - van Wolfswinkel - Suarez
Width from the full backs.
Three game winning playmakers.
Three natural goalscorers who can interchange positions.

30 Jan 2011 22:06:17
Ed do you think Aguero would join us if we bid the right amount. I'd think 38 million will get him in the summer. They won't get cl football this year and him being an lfc fan and wants to play English football. {ed's note - possibly but it would cost over 40m apparently, there are all kinds of taxes that have to be paid on top of the buyout clause that can send the amounts through the roof.}
30 Jan 2011 22:05:52
ED , is there any chance of us signing negredo or llorente as torres replacement? please post and comment :)
Adam O'K ;) {ed's note - I don't think either are likely now, maybe in the summer though.}
30 Jan 2011 22:05:34
I posted an opinion on Torres shortly after the Chelsea game suggesting it appeared as though he was trying to engineer a move to Chelsea. The reason being his brat attitude, lack of effort, apparent reluctance to play as part of a team and then at the drop of a hat he puts a shift in against Chelsea whereby he scores two crackers, played as part of a team, wanted to meet the ball and generally looked lively. One of the Ed's was critical of the opinion and also accused me of being a flag bearing 'yonks out' merchant as I also stated how I felt about NESV's ownership. Well, its clear Torres is going and I would suspect he's going purely because its as clear as the days long that transfers will be based on an in and out basis to balance the books. Its mid table mediocracy for us boys for the forseeable future whilst NESV enjoy a handsome return on their acquisition price. The Suarez deal wouldn't have gone through if it wasn't for the Torres debacle, in fact I don't believe we would've seen any incoming players. {ed's note - Torres is going because he is greedy, he promised to stay until the summer and then Chelsea waved money in his face, nothing to do with any in out policy at all.}
30 Jan 2011 22:04:29
If he starts sulking on the pitch again we should put him in the reserves with konchesky, poulsen and the rest of the s**te players!

Please not wolfswinkel or carlton cole to replace torres! ! !
pavlyuchenko would be okay but spurs would charge the earth for him, either way without torres our game will have to adapt and change, we won't have hi to spear head the attack, we won't have his ace up front to trouble defenders should we sign someone slower
benzema in summer is the best possible replacement, but what about for now

Ed can you shed some light as to why you think Torres wants to play for chelsea because i don't see what the draw is personally.
1st he's not going to win anything with them this year, they ain't going to win the league or the champions league and he can't play I'n the FA Cup
2nd, if he decided to stay liverpool could possibly overtake them and get the 4th place I'n the league and champions league football next season especially now we have Suarez and with a bit more investment I'n the summer surely we would be I'n a better position to challenge for honours than a team which would be another year older, no youth or squad of quality, and unable to spend vasts amount due to the new rules set by FIFA,
Chelsea are a team I'n decline if it was arsenal or city i could understand but chelsea just doesn't make sense also why isn't the club captain busting his nuts trying to get him to stay??
However if he does go let's screw the Russian for as much as we can

Omething struck me as odd.
In an interview, Suarez said about himself that he feels his best position is slightly behind a slightly less mobile strike partner.

I have my thoughts and still believe he will stay till the summer then go back home, most spanish do that's what has happened to all spaniards arteta not included as he is not really world class. every spanish player wants to play for real or Barca so when they come sniffing they go back to warmer weather
{Editor's Note: So Pepe Reina is off as well then?}
ed come on Pepe would be off like a shot, he has been doing it all at the back by himself, p&%$£d off under Roy and has had his house broken into. there is a reason he has not gone home yet. . the 2 big clubs have that position sewn up and noone else can afford him right nowi would take 45mill with both sturridge and anelka
then a winger or 2

If Torres was to go in the summer it wouldn't be the worst thing, i mean £50,000,000 is a lot of money, with that and investment of NESV and other players sold we couldbuild a world class squad without Torres ( Look at mancs withour Ronaldo. .)
To replace Torres ( If he does leave)
we should look at:
Higuain 30-40m
and
Aguero 30- 40m
(50m from Nando sale, and 10-30m from Henry)
with Higuain, Suarez and Aguero, i think that is a strike force better than most. .
also if we sell Lucas( which would be sad to see as he has given his all this season and last) for up to 10mil, Aquillani 10 mill, and all Deadwood e.g.
Cole 5mil
spearing 2m
poulsen(sp) £5
kuyt 7m
we could get two or three class midfield players wether they are wingers or not, personally I would be looking at playes like Ribery, Martinez and/ or Honda
Defence also needs work, would like to see mexes join. but Skrtel Deffo needs to go. .
i know alot of this is farfetched, but not completely unrealistic, any thoughts on players ed, or torres replacement(s)

Firstly, no man is bigger than his club, what is the point of holding on to torres if he wants to go?
don't accept any less than £50m, and certainly any chelsea cast off included in a part ex deal should not be accepted, a top replacement should be secured before he is allowed to leave and then we should still play hard ball over the price and not make the process too easy for chelski, pay up or shut up!
we may as well finish the season with two fresh forwards who relish the chance to play for us! torres will no doubt fit in well with the floundering chelski croc's .
i just can't understand torres's attitude and disrespect to the owners and us the fans!

Selling torres isn't the end of the world. look at united a couple of seasons ago; sold tevez and ronaldo and where are they now. top of prem, still in all competitions bar the carling cup. not bad really.

Ed in your opinion why has this torres move come at the end of the window, and why don't clubs do a deal at the start of the window so they can play for the new club 3/ 4 weeks earlier {ed's note - because Chelsea didn't tap him up sooner in the window.....}
30 Jan 2011 17:27:57
I don't blame Torres for handing in the transfer request. There were billionaires who wanted to take over the club. They would have been able to get us any players we wanted. All due respect to NESV but they aren't going to spend that way. Torres will be 27 shortly & Liverpool will not easily get back to the top four because of Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal & Man U. We needed owners that would spend freely in order to return to the top four. I just don't agree with him saying he will stay to honour his contract when he should have let the fans know were he really stood.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Chelsea & City have no identity, no dignity & no class because of their billionaire owners. They buy players just to stop other clubs from getting them. Give me an owner like John Henry any day who keeps the club profitable and its soul in tact.
30 Jan 2011 17:27:05
I'm really puzzled why Nando would opt for that Russian-oil funded club. I mean Pienaar had a choice between them and spuds (both offer CL), and even though their midfield is already over-crowded, he still chose WHL!
I mean Nando could have waited till the summer when the whole world will be at his feet, rather than settle for a bunch of aging pensioners now! Has he become so disillusioned with us that he wd jump ship when the first club comes calling?!

The fact that Torres has requested a transfer sickens me. Especially because of what he had previously come out and said a couple of weeks ago.
If he leaves for Chelsea, I believe he will become the most hated player in the league.
However, how can he expect the same support from the fans who were so loyal to him?
I for one am going to find it very hard to be supportive of him even if he is still playing for us after January.
If Chelsea come in with an offer of £50m plus Anelka I would be very tempted.
Anelka is a proven goal scorer in this leage and I think KK could do a lot with £50m.
Personally, I think if given that amount of money on transfers he could buy 3 maybe 4 quality players:
2 wingers (who could also play as a striker or supporting attacker):
My first option would be Arda Turan
Then I would go for Balazs Dzsudzsak
And if we can't get one of them, then Ashley Young
We could buy a CM:
I would Love to see Keisuke Honda although, he isn't proven in the Prem
Or Charlie Adam. . not the most attractive name on paper but you can't deny he has been playing well this season.
And finally a LB:
Stephen Warnock on loan until the end of the season?
Ed can you answer me this please: When is Insua coming back. . is there a clause meaning the team who have him on loan can buy him? I rate him more than most other left backs I have heard been linked with LFC.
{Editor's Note: Insua was on loan for the season but Gheorghe Hagi the Galatasaray coach suggested that all of his loan players would be returned to their clubs in January - but that was the last I heard until Juventus said they would take his loan on. Now it is quiet.}

The thing that needs to be sorted now is what are we going to do without him? If we don't get a replacement we are suddenly in a worse situation than we were before the transfer window opened. Only one quality striker (Suarez) but I don't see him as the out-and-out striker what we desperately need.

News on the redgrapevine is that Adam is a done deal, Young is nearly there too, but LFC are waiting to tie up one of two options up front before saying anything. Torres will not be allowed to leave unless KK gets the replacement he wants. And if that means waiting to the summer, then Fernando will just be feeling blue rather than wearing it for the next few months.

50m for Torres is a good deal albeit to one of our rivals. There is no way in the world he is worth 50m at the moment and he'll never be the striker he used to be.
In my opinion the only (potentially available)
strikers that are good enough to replace Torres are Llorente or Aguero. Imagine Llorente and Suarez upfront. .

Red hoffa.
Sir I have to give it to you. I love torres too. I loved him even in atletico. I was very small then-in my teens. But I used to follow atletico cause of him. And when he came to my favourite club, it was like icing on the cake. I have been enthralled watching him so far. And pray hard to god that he stays atleast till next season. Although I agree to everythin that you have said, there is one thing in the corner of mind that's hurting badly. That being the fact that he has decided to leave us stranded at this moment when we are trying to steady the ship. I thought he should have been a little more professional and helped us see this season through. Note-he is so devastating that he can do it all by himself even with useless players around. Not expecting him to do that of course. But that's how good he is. He could have written his name along with the legends of the club had he helped us return to a state of respectability. And that surely is a herculean task and he could have added that to his glorifying career. Winning trophies is big. But to help a team from a state of relegation to top 6 is equally big. That proves he is a true winner!
And that is why steven gerrard is considered so. Year after year he has bailed liverpool to a position of respectability and kept the club competitive. That is why he is considered among the greats by all and sundry even though he hasnt won many silverware.
Sir. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Breathtaking PHOENIX
Red for life!
Hi PHOENIX
I agree on your post. You sound like a true Red.
I also do want Fernando Torres to stay at LFC - at least until summer. But no matter how great he has been - both him and all of us should know that no one is impossible to replace.
We don't know what has been said and done behind closed doors (and we'll probably never know), but it seems obvious to me that someone has made some promises to Torres, and after that they had not convinced him that they are gonna keep this promises. I believe that's the reason FT has looked sour and misfit most of this season. I think he feels unsecure, but if King Kenny can't convince him - I think no one else can.
My guess is that if KK had been assigned instead of Woy last summer - or if John Henry & co has assigned Kenny for more than 6 months a few weeks ago - this would probably never had happened.
FT is, as the rest of the team, very satisfied with KK as the new manager, but I think KK's short contract with LFC makes Fernando feel unsecure about what's gonna happen in the summer.
Another guess is that LFC signing only 1 Luis Suarez (and letting players leave), is giving Torres the impression that there's gonna be more broken promises in the nearest future.
Since we agree that the best would be to see Fernando continue playing for LFC, and join us in the success that I am sure KK The Magician will ensure, I am worried that all the people on the internet (hopefully not at Anfield) will make it very difficult for Torres to continue in the red shirt because of all the bad things being said about him.
As far as I know, Torres has not yet commented the Chelski issue offficially, so let's at least give the lad a fair chance. I think we owe him that.
I won't critisize Torres for eventually wanting a change of club. But I don't appreciate him doing this so late in the transfer window. He doesn't owe us to be a LFC player for the rest of his career. But I think he owe us to leave us in a decent way - when/ if he decides to leave.
Finally I want to say that all these speculations about players in/ out of our club is pretty exciting. But the far most important thing to me is that Kenny Dalglish gets as long contract as possible the coming summer!
In Kenny we trust!
YNWA forever!

Hi Ed, First post since the Torres to Chelski story broke as I'm still in shock, I'm absolutley heartbroken but still optimistic that he'll stay if the rumour that he handed in the transfer request before we got Suarez is true.Nobody can say what is going on in his head but I for one will forgive him if he stays as Gerrard did 5 years or so ago.Remeber Rooney and Tevez earlier so there is still hope and if he stay's he will give 110% to the club. .but if if wants to go let him go and make a few quid and replace him with another world class striker even if its not until the summer.We are Liverpool Football Club.

On the sale of Nando. . I hope we don't Kowtow to Chelsea & accept Anelka, he's stil a top rate striker but his value (in £'s etc) is reducing by the day. we should try & force their hand for Malouda or Essien (2nd totally doubtful) Malouda is a cracking player.
Llorenthe would be a good signing, Negrado also (if Nando goes). I cannot see us landing Kun Aguero but you never know. . stranger things have happened in football. . Whatever happens Liverpool FC will still be a bigger club than Plastic Chelsea.

I wish him well, he should move back to spain. Play for a bigger club than liverpool. I don't think chelsea is step up. Chelsea need 50 million pounds of new players in midfield and defense.
Torres has shown the club alot of loyalty. 2 seasons in football is like a life time. You have to admit liverpool will not be in the champions league. They will not be winning anything within the next 3 season. Torres has just become too good for liverpool. He is a champions league player and wants to apply his trade at the top level. Its time for him to leave and the fans should wish him well on his way out of the club.

1 Anelka is not worth £10 M at his age. .a few years ago yes, I would have loved Houllier to have kept him personally
2 £40M plus Anelka is therefore not a good deal
3 £50 for Torres maybe but cash only and no players in part ex
4 Chelski can afford it if they really want him so play hard ball or there will be others in the market for him in the summer
That is of course if he really wants to go. . .until he clears up this transfer request stuff and the rest of the "info" around it with a statement. If he does not the fans will never feel the same way about him. He could recover with a good story and stay with us which is my preferred option.

CHELSEA are after SANCHEZ, AGUERO AND TORRES. FACT! i think torres was tapped up an was told that he would be playing alongside aquero!

{Editor's Note: Chelsea have made bids for all three and all three as we speak have been rejected for one reason or another. Chelsea are still trying with each of these bids as I understand it, but only one will I think be successful.} I do not think that torres has been "tapped up" and certainly there is no evidence to suggest that is the case.

{Editor's Note: Suarez has been signed - you seem to have missed that.}
ermm. . im not an idiot ed but you obviously havent read through what i have said proparly? i know we have signed suarez but isn't it all abit strange the improved offer was practically double from the last 12 mil offer? torres is proven premier league striker! suarez isnt? so why would we get rid of him? to only leave us in the same situation we are in now? with one (suarez) forward? it makes no sense. cheers
{Editor's Note: The initial £12M offer was derisory hence the need to double it; this was agreed by the owners who you accused of "havent put there hands in there pocket to stregnthen the team"; Torres wants to go - if Liverpool decide to hold him hostage then fine - but don't come back bleating about him not being interested and no one wanting to buy him in the summer.}

I think this may answer a few questions.
Liverpool tipped to swoop for £25m strike sensation after City pull out
Manchester City have ruled out the possibility of signing Romelu Lukaku in January - apparently paving the way for Liverpool to do so.
Dubbed 'the next Didier Drogba' thanks to his imposing physique and frightful strength, Lukaku has been tipped to go on to great things; so it is no surprise that the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs have been monitoring his progress.
NOw i don't know about you but up untill this news its been queit on Lukaku, could this be the second signing for KK
Ed> what are your thoughts please.

This is information I have been given today from a reliable source. I choose to believe the information but that's up to others to judge whether its true.
1) FT has confirmed in a meeting with Dalglish that he wants to leave during THIS transfer window. Dalglish tried to persuade him to stay until the summer when they could then revisit the situation, however Torres has stood firm and wants to leave now. Dalglish is said to be furious with Torres.
2) A fee of around 48mil has been slapped on Torres, although I have been told Anelka is 'desperate' to rejoin Liverpool.
3) Suarez is STILL not yet fully finalised as the medical team are assesing his fitness due to him not playing for 7 games.
4)We are desperate to get rid of Milan Jovanovic but he doesn't want to go and his wages are a stumbling block. Players we are trying to bring in a falling through because of this. Ashley Young deal now unlikely, but Charlie Adamis still possible.
If Torres wants to go fine, but lets not get bullied by Chelsea or the player. Lets take them for every penny they've got! If they don't pay the player stays. .simple.

Liverpool would be better off cashing in on Torres today and getting 2 more players on that cash . 50 million and anelka sounds a bit too much, so can't see that happening, regarding the left back position , why not putter agger there , he always attacks so why not? ashley young would be a great buy ( dunno if it will happen) but we def need a midfielder/ winger , someone who can pass the ball , like we had with alonso, and another striker, ngog is not a good back up so we should invest in another striker! We are not going for Llorente , harry redknapp already has bid in and they r clear favourites , but heard we are goint to bid for Pavyluchenko - £12 mil.

Just came in from walking the dog over stanley park and thought i'd tell you what i just witnessed.
A UFO landed and after i nearly sh@ep myself i wondered over, a little green fella told me that Torres was told of what was occurring over the next few months at Anfield, including in's and out's, which is not normally shared with players, but in a effort to keep him certain people have broken with tradition.
He was then told it's upto him but they need to know by 7pm tonight to be able to get the two other players that were being lined up before we got Suarez
I was a little shocked as after many a drunken nite i have seen funny little men running around the park.

30 Jan 2011 16:49:08
do you think a Torres/ Drogba partnership would work out? I have my doubts to be honest. I see two players with not very good attitudes. One is injury prone and sulks when things aren't going well and the other dives and behaves like a 12 year old when his team loses.

All of us taught he would leave by the summer, instead he stayed and waited for the club to develop.But the club only doomed further and there is no way that we can improve with just the signing of suarez.He is 26 now and its time for him to win trophies and not be under an club which is in rebuilding stage.

Fernando Torres is going nowhere. . YET!
He has had that young looking smile back on his face of late and has looked hungry to score goals. I like everyone was deeply shocked by the transfer request allegations, but this was done through frustration. He will play games between now and the end of the season and will form a formidable partnership with suarez and continue his blossiming understanding with miereles and stevie, despite reports suggesting a rift between the two.
If in the summer he does decide to leave, it will be to head back to spain and play alongside david villa at barcelona, which is when Liverpool, i they don't manage to get young and turan in this windo, will sign in the summer along with a few possible torres replacements. .
I believe the possible replacements will be: Aguero, Benzema, Higuain or Mario Gomez. (only one ofcourse) and I would prefer Higuain or Aguero myself, but there are options avaliable.
If Blackpool continue to playhard ball over Adam, then we will leave the midfield that we currently have to finish the season, but might try to sneak in one more winger before the deadline, my money is on N'zogbia as like I said previously, there is little time to strike a deal for Young and Turan will not be leaving Turkey until the summer.
Jonjo will continue to be given opporotunities this season if Adam doesn't come in, which I would prefer as he looks like he could be a gem in the times ahead.
None of what I said are rumours, theyare just my feelings towards what is happening within the club right now, what do you think ed's, spot on or well of the mark?

With the greatest respect to Sharkey and the rest of you , but I cannot see Roman spending 100m on strikers alone in January when every tom dick and harry know the prices are inflated and you won't get expected performance from players.
Maybe in the summer they will go back to Aguero, -(just like Sanchez) and having Torres will be great advantage for them.
But all this will be reliant on your chelsea manager getting somewhere respectable in champion league , else he will be waved goodbye to and new one will be in place.

I don't claim to be in the know, but all this Torres thing is confusing.
Chelsea have been falling slowly, the russian is more worried about his new woman, the club does not generate enough money, hey do not have much history prior to the russians money and they most commonly known the team is at the wrong side of 30. they are struggling to make top 4 and will not win anything this year and may struggle next year too.
{Editor's Note: They are not falling too slowly seeing as the did the double a few months ago.}
why choose chelsea if its about winning stuff, why not look at man city, the money this man has will not dry up, i mean he has spent hundreds of millions of pounds, went to bed last night and has made that money back ish.
{Editor's Note: Manchester City have not made a bid; we do not know that Torres has chosen Chelsea; they do well in all competitions so are not that poor a team.}
we have to accept there is no loyalty in the game anymore, of the likes of carra, giggs, scholes and neville( god i hate him, one ugly man) so why have man city not bid for torres, he is a proven goal scorer (PL) buying him will make a huge statement. someone will reply they have bid plus players but this is wrong (they can not keep anything in house, we knew about dzeko weeks ago, tevez months before, milner, lescott, well actually everyone they have signed. so honestly they have not bid. .
{Editor's Note: If everyone was loyal to their clubs there would be no transfers - no Suarez for example.}
i have my thoughts and still believe he will stay till the summer then go back home, most spanish do that's what has happened to all spaniards arteta not included as he is not really world class. every spanish player wants to play for real or Barca so when they come sniffing they go back to warmer weather
{Editor's Note: So Pepe Reina is off as well then?}
maybe just maybe someone should show this to anyone interested in signing for chelsea the below is an extract taken from chelsea financial information
The club remains ostensibly debt-free but Roman Abramovich maintains the right to call in the millions of pounds he is owed. Abramovich channelled his loans to the club by loaning money to Chelsea Limited, who then loaned it on to Chelsea FC plc, which runs the club.
More detail after the jump..
It is true that the loans from the holding company to Chelsea FC plc were fully converted to shares last year. However Abramovich's loan to Chelsea Limited, the holding company which owns Chelsea FC plc, was not. That loan remains owing; in fact it increased from £701m, because Abramovich loaned another £25m in a year when Chelsea's extravagant spending, and the dismissal of Luiz Felipe Scolari and his coaching team, produced losses of £47m.
The accounts of Chelsea Limited (whose name was changed during the year to Fordstam Limited), show that loan still outstanding: £726m, owed to Abramovich.
A spokesman for the club confirmed that yesterday: "Recapitalisation of loans happened at the level of Chelsea FC plc, not the holding company (Fordstam), therefore making the football club debt free.
The loan is interest free, but it is repayable if Abramovich gives 18 months' notice. The Russian could still demand the money back some day, either if the club is making a profit, or if he were to sell it. He has not, in fact, written off the huge loans he has made on his Chelsea adventure
Liverpool FC are currently Debt free and have more of an oppurtunity to raise money with there worldwide support, when the russian gets board chelsea will struggle to stay afloat
sorry for going on but long time fan (football fan) let him go and replace him with more committed players, bring back the good old days
the King will get it right and we will finish the season on a high, blood is red for a reason it flows through us all, liverpool is in us all

Teams in the league would do something nasty in their trunks if we sold torres. 1st of all it would send out a signal of self confidence, saying, 'yeah, torres is the best striker around, but we don't need him'. secondly, with the money we could get for him, we could make 3 top class signings to strengthen our side and take the league by storm next season. this is why i think selling torres would be beneficial to the team. obviously losing someone of such quality would be a massive blow, but think past it and consider the possibilities.

Hoping to se the Suarez deal announced and tied up sharpish, seen his name on here so much over the past few weeks I got sick of the guy! Now just hope it all goes through ok and he plays on Wednesday. Also looking forward to tomorrow, deadline day is usually good fun and at least by bed time we'll know wether we've still got Torres until the summer or not. If we do, as someone else has said, it's imperative that we get behind him if he plays. We support the club and we're renowned for being the greatest supporters, let's not tarnish that by giving our players stick. If Chelsea want him and they're open to a deal, would anyone else like to see a cheeky bid for Malouda (sp?) They would probably reject it but they want one of ours, they might have to give up one of theirs!

osh please don't buy him
Torres transfer is still up in the air , Liverpool waiting on a better bid Chelsea mite not even come back in for him and there is still a big chance if they do it could get turn down.
Ajax didn't back down , blackpool have not back down
So unless it a bid 50m plus can't see it being accepted and we don't want any off there cast offs as part of the deal cash only I say

Ed, first of all do you think Anelka would be a good signing and all given his age and his form this season. Secondly will he be cup tied for the europa league since he has played in the champions league? thanks
{Editor's Note: I think he would be a stop gap only - so perhaps a loan would be best. As I understand the rules, he could be the one player allowed to play for two sides - as long as it is not in the same competition.}

Bizarre I know and slightly sad but I happen to feel the Torres situation is win win for us. I he stays and commits great he will go on to become perhaps the greatest to ever pull on the red shirt if he goes we will command a bumper fee, either now with Anelka to see us through to May or in the Summer when we can go for a big target and probably persuade Chelsea to not enter into a bid for said player.
Lets face it we have seen the best of Torres-his knee and has attitude have hampered his progress over the last year and he is not the same player. But what does rankle with me is why Buyski have to leave it so late-they have got no class and it all harks back to the mid noughties-Abromovich is their greatest signing they would be no one without him and why Torres want to join them I do not know but maybe he would like to read this list of Strikers who have left LFC and check out what happened to their careers afterwards (only a return to LFC saved Rushies career) Rush, Fowler, Owen, Heskey, Baros, Cisse to name a few. Thanks Nando but I think you are making a grave mistake and have lost your bottle.

If it were a done deal that he was off, then why would he be training today? What if he went over on his ankle and injured himself?? Deal off.
Whilst he is at Melwood training in LFC kit no deal has been agreed, or is anywhere close to being agreed.
Neither club would want to risk injury.
My money now is on him staying, and maybe even extending his contract, with a verbal agreement that if things aren't right in summer he can move to the right club for LFC and the right money.
Now let's crack on and sign Adam, Warnock, Honda and the rest please.

Torress is over priced at £50m, the lighten pace is not there anymore and not the player he used to be. I belive that We have got the best out of Torress. £50m plus Alex or any other player apart from Anelka.
Chelsea left it to the last days not to alert other clubs to a bidding war. Come on ManCity £60m and we drive him to you.

Liverpool Rumours
First post from me and not so much rumour, but discussion. I don't claim to watch every game or know about every single player, but what strikes me from the times I have watched our team is that we lack (and have lacked for some years now) flair. The ideas are usually thin on the ground and when we can't walk the ball into the net we have no plan B. OK, Torres is one of the best strikers around (on his day), but do we really need him if he doesn't have the passion to want to play for our club (not to mention his now dodgy hamstrings and groin)? If we could invest wisely in a number of creative players that can pass accurately and have the ability to take people on with pace then a very good striker or two would do fine, rather than an exceptional one that is the focus of the team. It is true that we don't seem to have replaced Alonso and we need someone with the ability to pass accurately and deliver those killer set piece balls (Charlie Adam? maybe, maybe not). BUT why just one person? Cash in on the big asset and create an evenly balanced high quality team rather than (sorry, no offence intended) an average team with one or two exellent players. Is Honda one of those players I have described (don't know anything about him apart from the raves of people on this site)? From the little I've seen of Ben Arfa I thought he'd be fantastic to watch in a red shirt. All constructive comments welcome!
{Editor's Note: Ben Arfa is a Newcastle player - he has only just signed.}

Torres was due back at Melwood from his 3 days leave in Spain at 2 o'clock. This he did.
As he has had discussions with Liverpool's heirarchy, all other players have left after having their sceduled training session.
IMO do not read too much into this. I am sure if other rumours are true that there are more signings possibly to follow, that Nando has been pursuaded to stay until the end of the season.
TBH, if I had been given the promises he has been given, and then seen no activity for three and a half weeks of the window, I would be as disillusioned as he is.
Up until Friday he has been more than fair to LFC, we all know there are some players there not worthy of the shirt.
Give the guy a break and let's show the unity that KK is asking for. If he has decided to stay, the last thing we need is for his confidence to be shattered by negativity from disgruntled fans at the game. Just when we are starting to see the ElNino of old.
The last thing we need is new songs and calls of Judas until we know what is going on officially and not silly murmurings from clowns who supposedly live opposite Melwood.

It's been said time and again on here, if Torres wants to go then fine, I don't think it's such a big problem.
What I don't agree with are the people who are wanting Anelka to be included as part of the deal. If we get Honda he can happily play up front with Suarez for the remainder of the season.
We want a £50-60m fee to spend in the summer in a market which will see the cash stretch a lot further than the Jan window with overinflated player valuations.
Honda is deffo still on my wish list, and now the final is over (amazing winning goal by the way) discussions should be advanced now if we are indeed pushing for his signature.
Suarez & Honda far outway a sulking selfish Torres in my view.
30 Jan 2011 15:33:53

Yes he is training on his own. Doesnt look good really. Maybe isolating him from the team due to the unsettling rumours surrounding him and the club.

I don't think Chelsea will sing songs for Fernando Torres, when he's not playing well the Liverpool fans have always been behind him and chanted his name time and time again. . At Chelsea he won't get that, if he plays badly the Blue fans will boo, totally different fans to us. If he was to leave i think the best place for him to go is Barca, he'll get to play alongside David Villa up front, something he's always wanted at club level.

30 Jan 2011 15:28:55
Liverpool Rumours
I don't think we should let Torres go. We all know already that player prices in January get inflated. With torres gone and only suarez brought in, we are no further on than we were when the window first opened. If anything, we are a step backwards as Suarez has not been tested in the Premier League and may take time to settle.
So we will have a few quid more to look at other options. . When other clubs know we are desperate for a second striker having lost torres, given that there may only be hours left of the window and we have a fesh %0 mill in hand, those clubs will put valuations of their own players even higher because we would have no option but to pay extortionate fees or continue in decline. .
The man signed a contract. The club are starting to spend and spend big. That should show Torres that the club is committed to improving and make him honour the commitment he made to the club and to us as fans. If he refuses to play, train with the academy. I'm sure he'd rather play well and "put himself in the shop window" than rot in the reserves every week, continually getting fined for his attitude.
I personally think that he has an issue with not being the biggest name at the club. He was a God at Madrid, and whilst loved in Liverpool , there aren't many (including Torres) who could ever get out of the shadow cast by the likes of Dalglish, Gerrard and my personal favourite. . Robbie Fowler!

And when he came to my favourite club, it was like icing on the cake. I have been enthralled watching him so far. And pray hard to god that he stays atleast till next season. Although I agree to everythin that you have said, there is one thing in the corner of mind that's hurting badly. That being the fact that he has decided to leave us stranded at this moment when we are trying to steady the ship. I thought he should have been a little more professional and helped us see this season through. Note-he is so devastating that he can do it all by himself even with useless players around. Not expecting him to do that of course. But that's how good he is. He could have written his name along with the legends of the club had he helped us return to a state of respectability. And that surely is a herculean task and he could have added that to his glorifying career. Winning trophies is big. But to help a team from a state of relegation to top 6 is equally big. That proves he is a true winner!
And that is why steven gerrard is considered so. Year after year he has bailed liverpool to a position of respectability and kept the club competitive. That is why he is considered among the greats by all and sundry even though he hasnt won many silverware.
Sir. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I beleive that Adam will join before the window closes for around 7-7.5million. I reaqlly hope that Torres doesn't leave in the transfer window, but if he feels he can, t ply his trade sell him in the summer for 60million +.
i think with that cash we should buy bridge at LB,
adam johnson on the left wing, and give a younsters like Pancheo or Amoo a run out upfront with Suarez.
{Editor's Note: Amoo has left on laon to MK Dons.}
30 Jan 2011 15:22:12
Okay,
Torres was something when he first arrived, great first season etc, scored great goals and was a great goal scorer.
But, the way we were playing season before last, with Alonso, Yossi, Mascha and Stevie on form any decent striker would have scored with the supply he got and don't forget he missed nine games at he start of that season as well, Alonso and Babel netted at the Chavs.
THIS season when the team, the club and us, the fans REALLY needed him to deliver where was he?
Injured? perhaps, Sulking defo!
Ex manager has described Suarez as a streetfighter, his goal record speaks for itself, he had the most shots at the world cup against really defensive teams, this season, right now I know who I'd rather have in my corner for whats ahead.

From your proposition I would prefer just the 40million we don't need other teams youth players as we have our own and they are quality
If sturridge was any good he would already be in the chelski first team
Mceacheran i don't know but i feel we have no need for him at anfield
Personaly i would take 50mil and anelka only keep anelka until end of season then buy a world class striker with the money

Torres is having a meeting with kenny at the moment.kenny is asking him to stay till the summer and he can leave then.torres is expected to accept this but is concerned about the back lash from the fans.on another note, if he was to leave for chelsea i'd look for 40 mil and essien, monster in midfield which is just what we need, what do you think of this eds?
{Editor's Note: I am glad you can hear the discussions between the two of them. Chelsea will not give Essien as part of the deal. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
ed how do you know that chelsea won't be willing to let essien go as part of the deal?if they want torres so bad i reckon they'd consider anything.why not be cheeky and look for one of there stars, there doing this to us.
{Editor's Note: So if Ajax had said £30M plus Reina for Suarez, would Liverpool have done it?}
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
ed you can't compare the suarez deal to the torres one, for one thing ajax are in big debt and had to sell suarez to some one to pay them off, we don't need to sell torres now so can afford to chance our arm with a deal that takes one of there stars, might make them think twice about trying to steal are biggest name.just my take on the situation
{Editor's Note: It is never going to happen.}
Eds right of course that deals never gonna happen, and in my opinion that is why I would ask for it then it will be chelsea's problem when the deal dosen't happen and not because Liverpool won't sell. I don't see shy cfc can just pick and choose any one they want from our side he tries it all the time and if we ever have a Liverpool player again who is world class expect to come back fir them because he clearly thinks Liverpool is a swap shop for people ge dosent want, Torres and we get sturridge would be a joke, pbe of my biggest problems with rafa was that Henley three world class players slip through his fingers when alonso left, Madrid were getting rid of them anyway and desperate fir xabi, why not at least call there bluff. Essien and anelka and 50 million, and I couldn't give a f*** if the player kicks off about when Chelsea back down, footballers are fickle and are easily persuaded, if Liverpool ever chanted his name again that would be all it would take fir him to stop his strop.Liverpool have been lead down the wrong path every year and crucial mistakes have been made from moores, parry to rafa, eg van der vart, people gave doubted the new owners, well here it is, a test that will show what there all about, let's wait and see how they handle this before judging.

If Torres wants to go, let him go. This is in my opinion a win-win situation for Liverpool. Torres has been lazy as hell this season (oddly enough he worked his socks off against Fulham). I thought that he was extremely selfish as well, but only now do I read people saying it. If you can get twice what you paid for him, you have to make the deal. I think he'll be good for Chelsea or whomever, but we've seen the best of him already. I would love to see an old-fashioned target man such as Llorente come in. Carlton Cole is not good and I think that Kenny sees it just as anyone of us. Only thing that worries me is that we need someone in to play with Suarez before Torres leaves for a strong finish to the season. I believe Liverpool will be better in the 2nd half if we get a new striker in.

I can see it all panning out now, Torres joins Chelsea, then Aguero & Godin join Chelsea. .and we're left with Sturridge & Carlton Cole. Depressing stuff. We should be all looking forward to seeing Suarez play, but Mr. Centre Of Attention Torres has gone and ruined it just when Liverpool have spent the time finding the perfect partner for him.

Everything torres said earlier in the season has been untrue. he said that he would always honour his contract, and that if we show intent on improving the squad then he will stay. but as soon as we get suarez he wants asks to leave. i couldnt live with him at chelsea, but there is no player bigger than the club and if he wants to go then we should let him. any ideas ed on who we could get instead to partner suarez?
Hi
I don't know who wrote the post above, but I have to say that I disagree strongly. I have been a Red for more than 40 yrs, and I agree w those who says that no player is bigger than the club. Our history proves that is true.
We of course can post any personal opinions of Torres, but I think a lot of the posts are too hard on him. He has done a fantastic job as a striker for LFC during these years, and he was definately not the only player who didn't do well in the Woy period. He has also been more loyal than we could expect during these years despite all the interest from other clubs. Very few of us - if any - have an idea of what promises that has been made to Torres the latest years.
We have to remember that even if we loved him from his first day, he is not a Liverpool origin, he's not even english. It seems like a lot of people are forgetting that, talking about loyalty etc. We have to realize that all top players want to do the best out of their career, and none of them knows how long the career will be because you always have a risk of being seriously injured. I think it's quite normal that a top player has a desire for winning trophies during his relatively short career. Fernando has already become UEFA and FIFA champion with Spain, but he also wants to achieve similar results at club level. I can understand that.
I believe that we are looking at a combination of broken promises - and a desire for winning trophies at club level - before getting too old. And if that's the truth, I can understand Torres behaviour.
If this all ends with him wearing the awful blue shirt, I think we all should thank him for all those magic moments and fantastic goals he gave us, and all the victories where he played an important role for LFC. We should wish him good luck as the decent supporters we are, and then we should turn our attention to who's gonna replace him - instead off bulling Fernando for making his choice. Because - the club is more important than any player.
I hope this story ends w Torres either stays at LFC, or that he doesn't leave until the summer.
In the meantime, I think we all should give him the respect he deserves. No matter how you put it - he has been fantastic in the red shirt!
Finally - I agree with those who thinks that Torres in the future is going to regret leaving Anfield, but then again - that is HIS problem, not ours.
In Kenny we trust!
YNWA forever!

If City were to offer £60M + Johnson & Richards for Torres as has been suggested then I would bite their hand off.
With the £60M I would re-sign Alonso and still have plenty of money left to buy a top quality striker.
If we also sign a left winger like Honda we would have a top quality team and a much deeper squad.
I would hate to see Nando leave but I could be massively beneficial for the club!

Liverpool rumours, i think if we sign carlton cole its a joke he is s**te in front of goal not good enough for liverpool, we should go all out and sign andy carroll every player has his price and if we lose torres the club have to sign an out and out goal scorer not a 10 goal a season player in cole, its the same old same old we let alonso go never replaced him let macherano go never replaced him and if torres goes we won't replace him either to sell one of the best strikers in the world we need to go out right away and sign one luis suarez is not an out and out striker he plays of a striker and if we don't sign another big name our season is going to get worse the heads will drop the whole team will be thinking were are this club going confidence will drop again, and to be honest all the big names will be thinking if torres is leaving is liverpool going to compete i don't think so we probably will go for the cole type player which is not good enough to take us up the table the reality is we are not in champions league and if we were planning on signing any top players our best players would stay so its going to be tough for us we are one of the big clubs in world football but we are not going after the right players so far maybe im just a little pist with all that is going on but im really worried for the future as in challenging for trophys i think the players that have left and are leaving we just are not signing players good enough to replace them and won't either what you think ed?

Something that is quite telling is the fact that Suarez hasn't mentioned how he is relishing the chance to form a partnership with Torres. You would have thought any big striker coming in would have said something about it. Makes me think he has been told not to mention it or that he's been told Torres won't be at the club. Either way it's another sign that the love affair between Torres and Liverpool is over.

Even if Torres does leave his replacement may well be at the club already, Jovanovic. I know he isn't exactly the best player we have but he can play striker and does give 100%. If Torres leaves its going to be hard to get a striker that quickly and he might be our last hope. Either him or Kuyt upfront and possibly play Pacheco on the wing.

Totally agree mate. He is obviously not in the same league as Torres, but it would r good to see him in his natural position and Pacheco play more

Just my opinion re who should partner Syarez IF torres goes. . . .I would love to see Gomez/ Suarez. . .Llorente/ Suarez. . . or Crouch/ Suarez. . . I think a quick bid for Crouch, keeping the balance of the money for Summer buys might just be a good idea. . . it would give us a strong forward line with time and cash to plan for the summer?? ?

"Sky Sports has just started reporting Keane is at West Ham for a medical pending transfer later this afternoon. There may be some truth in this 'Cole to Liverpool' malarky."
It's on the Sky Sports website in the Premier League section. Keane has undergone a medical pending a loand move which will be made permanent in the summer if West Ham avoid the drop. I'm NOT saying that Cole therefore is Liverpool-bound, but there's thirty hours left to get a number nine who can score goals and cope with the demands of the Prem and this is beginning to look 'square peg. square hole'. At the end of the day, Suarez needs a full time partner and we haven't got one in Kuyt (needed wide), Ngog (clumsy) or Pacheco (not experienced enough)

Didn't Tom Werner a while ago that we don't need a player at the club who does not want to be here? by that notion torres is gone deffo. Anyways i have lost so much respect for him that i do not want to see him doing any favours by staying till summer, just h**k off now. I'm afraid that if he can't play under king kenny then he need not be here. Good luck at your new club and for your new friendship with terry and cole. Look at agger's comments today, torres needs to learn from him. And Ed do you think suarez deal is not finalized because they are awaiting torres' verdict, whether to give suarez no 9 or not?

If Torres was to leave, Liverpool would have to take the europa league into consideration when finding his replacement. A lot of the World Class strikers have already played in Europe this season and if we don't sign someone who is eligible for the Europa league, we will be left with N'Gog as our only Striker.
Options are:
Lloerente 30m(don't think he has played in europe this season)
Carroll 30m(Bit overpriced but would be a very good signing)
A lot of the other targets have all played in Europe this season.
I know he has obviously played in Europe this season, but I would love Liverpool to get Van Persie if Torres goes. Wishful thinking
30 Jan 2011 14:05:47
Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City and Arsenal would never sell a player like Torres to another team who is wanting to be a direct competitor each season. NESV said their aim is to win but selling Torress to Chelsea even for 50million makes no sense because you're arming your competitors. . Sell to a foreign club for half would better in my opinion.
Also, Torres is whining about unfulfilled promises but they were made to us too, and we put the money in to pay his wages! He needs to stop and think about that - these footballers are selfish, inward looking, having got a clue what life is really about numpties!
And I think Torres is a nice bloke! But. . all this unfulfilled promise stuff and how hard it must be for him - . . really!
I'm not bothered if he goes, just who he goes to. Just say "No!" and sell him in the summer to Barcelona!
{Editor's Note: If he can be sold in the summer it will be for a lot less money.}

I feel we have been played and lied to? by more Americans.
As more and more come out. All this about it will all happen towards the end of the transfer window. So they new then did they? So they are not really spending then are they as this will all be FT transfer money and not theirs! Stiffed and lied too?
They had all this time and nothing in place? Good business planning? So back to selling to buy?
What do you think the backlash will be if and I say if this turns out to be true? if there was money to spend how much was it? how much will the pot be with the FT money to add to it? minus the LS deal. do the Math folks when the truth emerges and the facts are out. Are we going to get second rate buys?
I would rather my trust in KK and save money until we get the right players at the right price for the right reasons. If need be play some more of the kids, may not be ideal solution but a good one.
I hate all this garbage thought we had done with it when H&G left? Why no CA from Blackpool or any one else if we where spending our own money and not relying on the FT money? I said couple of days ago if we where lucky to get Saurez and Adams I was going to be really happy. But that was before the Ft story broke.
{Editor's Note: NESV never said that there would be a particular budget. The money to be made available by NESV will largely come in the first instance from money generated by the club, which needs to be self-sufficient as we all know. This means the money that is surplus to what it takes to run the club itself. What I imagine Tom Werner was referring to was that monies generated by the club (such as through the sale of a player) could be used for transfers (obviously if agreed on a case-by-case basis as I have already explained). I think if you are expecting NESV to throw enormous sums of their own money in to transfers, you will have a bit of a long wait until that happens. I do however have no doubts that they will provided financing themselves as necessary - but they will not want to pay over the odds for players. REgardless, I doubt that this will stop you unfurling your "Yonks Out" flag.}

Ed
Very disappointing that Nando turns out to be a Nino, but let's put this into some real context. Us fans have turned a blind eye to many below par performances from Torres over the last 12 months with excuses about his fitness, lack of a quality striker to support him and isolation from Hodgson's tactics. In retrospect it is clear from Torres's performances over the last year that his heart has not been in it. His pro zone stats for a world class striker have been appalling since the beginning of the season (with the exception of his game against Chelsea!). Former LFC greats were the first to notice that he was not putting in a proper shift and began to criticise him towards the latter part of Hodgson's reign. It is also clear that injuries seem to have robbed Torres of some of his pace and prowess (though he is still a very very good player). Bottom line is that we need players who are 100% committed to the cause. Other greats have left and LFC has survived and prospered (anyone seen Owen's champions league medal?). The main issue of concern I have is timing. If Chelsea want him so close to the end of the transfer window they will need to pay £50m (yes £60m would be even better but lets be realistic). If LFC can line up a quality replacement in the next 12-18 hours it will be a cash deal. If not, Anelka will need to be included in the package so that we have a recognised premiership striker to take us through to the end of the season. Anelka plus Suarez hitting the ground running with Kenny having £45m in his pocket to splash out this summer might be a very good result for us. El Nino has hugely disappointed us, but no player is bigger than our club. Reality Red

I want Torres to stay with Liverpool until the Summer, then he has my blessing to leave. Would much rather see him abroad than in the Premier League though, preferably Barca - As he would not join Madrid due to his love for Atletico. People are saying he does not love Liverpool, of course he does! But when a club with better players than us at the moment comes in, with Champions League football of course he's going to be interested - We've seen this from Chelsea before with the Gerrard incident in 05, what they do is pathetic.
We bought the lad from sunny Spain he gets the ball he scores again Fernando Torres Liverpool's number 9. I hope he stays until the Summer, and think he will.

If the mancs want to sign Adam for 8.5 million for Adam then I'm happy we arnt.
For 8.5. Million we could sign Ever Banega from Valencia who is easily twice the player Adam is. Banega is also a better tackler and passer of the ball so can't understand we why havnt submitted a bid for this player.
Valencia don't want him at the club anymore and we even get him cheaper than 8.5 million. I would also try for Steven Defour instead of Adam (even better prospect again) would cost a couple of million more but worth it.

Banega has never been able to be a regular in Valencia team and Defour plays in a very weak league in Belgium and is always injured. I'll take Adam for 8.5m thanks. Think Kenny agrees with me.

Torres will go inj the summer so LFC get more than 40 mill and so we can get more time 2 get a replecment
30 Jan 2011 13:00:04
Just a theory. . What if say Nando's agent put in the transfer request before Suarez had been signed to try and force NESV's hand into signing some big names. .unbeknown to Torres and co the Suarez deal had been done already and said fact was relayed to the torres camp. .however the news having already got out Roman's desperate crumbling empire make a cheeky bid to which NESV laugh at but think lets see how far we can push this. Roman not wanting to be outdone puts in a record british transfer bid which of course would turn anyones head. .50M for a sulky striker who is injured quite alot is good business. I think that it's NESV's head that has been turned. If Torres wants out good luck to him he can go to Chavski and probably finish 5th. No one is bigger than the club! Tobiwan

Will you people please stop with "sell Torres and buy this and that and that" stuff? it's all easier said than done.four weeks into the transfer window and we've been lucky to get Suarez.One has already departed (Babel) and one is still pending (Torres) to leave.That'll make 1 in and 2 out (hopefully not).
with 30 hours remaining, do you think we'll be able to replace Torres (if he goes)? to find him a strike partner, we've taken 30 days.now, imagine trying to find his replacement. better he stays till summer. we'll get better offers if he puts in decent performances till the end of EPL. my thoughts.

Everything torres said earlier in the season has been untrue. he said that he would always honour his contract, and that if we show intent on improving the squad then he will stay. but as soon as we get suarez he wants asks to leave. i couldnt live with him at chelsea, but there is no player bigger than the club and if he wants to go then we should let him. any ideas ed on who we could get instead to partner suarez?
30 Jan 2011 12:57:25
42 mil plus anelka is a gd deal. he is Chelseas top scorer and still is alot quicker than most defenders in the league. I think he would do well for two seasons and bring in a new striker in the summer to learn off him. his touch and control is better tjhan torres, and also his pace over long distance. what makes torres one of the best in the world is how quick he is over 10 yards, and i maybe 2 seasons that will be gone, most of the time ive seen torres this season the ball has bounced off him rather than him control it. it would be a sad day to see him go but i think would give us a gd oppertunity to strenghen our squad/ line up in other areas

Just been reading on other sites with regards to Torres leaving for bigger and better clubs, as it stands this very day we are still the most successful British club and the only reason we are not in the Champions League and other domestic cups is because the likes of Torres didn't try his hardest to keep us there, so if he wishes to leave then let him go but just like most other 'big' clubs we should not sell to anyone in this country.

Really think torres is off, and as dissapointed as i am i think it will have a positive effect on the squad. if macca or anybody else is correct, that he is causing an atmosphere in the dressing room due to not wanting to be there etc, then take the money. . . and let him be the youngest player in the chelsea first eleven! chelsea have failed with every transfer they have attemped this winter, aguero, godin, luiz, pienaar, there a falling giant imo. they have just gone on there worst run in years much like us and a few wins and there title contenders again? behave!
torres isn't the first to think he has out grown the club, we have been here before with owen, now picks splinters out his arse for manure, masherano, also picking splinters, reports say alonso is unhappy in madrid, due to a poor relationship with jose, however he was pushed out and went in my opinion as a f***k you to rafa! very few have left and gone on to bigger and better things, so let him go. bring in pato and sanchez from the sale, aguero wud be too expensive, the money seems to be there for adams, and maybe ashley young, rumours have been rife for a while that he is a target. we would have some of the best attacking talents not only in the prem, but across europe, pato, suarez, sanchez, gerrard and mereiles, good british talent in, young and adams, even joe cole when in form! happy days!
we have enough now to finish top 6, i can't see that changing this year even if all the above came in as it would take time to gel, but next year. . . . look out.
that would give kenny a chance to address the defence in the summer, although with kelly proving to be a real gem at right back and johnson looking half decent next to the cool, calm and collected dane at left back with carra due back to replace bombscare (srktel or the greek) not much would have to be invested.

Come on guys think straight. Why would we want to take the 31yr old Anelka as part of any deal involving Nando? He is reported to be on £90,000 per week (£4.4million a year) and would demand a contract of at least 2 years. That makes him a very expensive ageing striker when much younger, cheaper and better strikers can be purchased for KK's re-building programme. Not in the NESV plans to have players of that vintage coming in for a retirement post. Anyway, Anekla loves Chelsea FC, London and has an outside chance of picking up a Champions League medal. Why would he agree to move to us?

{Editor's Note: I have absolutely no idea - why?}
30 Jan 2011 12:14:05
I'm reading on here that some people would like Torres to stay, and some are begging him to stay. If Torres dosn't want to play for us then he can h*ck off. I'm sick of listening to these rumours every transfer window (is he going, is he staying). Why don't we just take the 50 mill for him and rebuild in the summer (which was the plan anyway).
Get Anelka in who is a proven Premier League goal scorer. And play him and Suarez up front untill the summer, then buy another striker i.e Adebyour, Canales, Gomez etc. If Torres goes we will have even more money to spend in the summer so we could get 2 world class strikers, in addition to the ones we have and would have a much better squad.
This is IF Torres does leave us of course. But i've said it loads of times, i'd take 50-60 mill for Torres and run. The squad will look better without him, and we would actually have players who want to play for us.
In short if Torres dosn't want to play for us then that's his problem not our's. I'm not losing any sleep over it, i'll not be begging him to stay i'd prefer the money.

If the mancs want to sign Adam for 8.5 million for Adam then I'm happy we arnt.
For 8.5. Million we could sign Ever Banega from Valencia who is easily twice the player Adam is. Banega is also a better tackler and passer of the ball so can't understand we why havnt submitted a bid for this player.
Valencia don't want him at the club anymore and we even get him cheaper than 8.5 million. I would also try for Steven Defour instead of Adam (even better prospect again) would cost a couple of million more but worth it.
Ed your thoughts? And do you think there is any chance before tomorrow night?

Right possible replacements for torres. . for me they must have premiership experience, as suarez doesnt. .
Forlan - would cost too much and too old.
Crouch - perfect fit for me, little and large up front.
carrol - again same as crouch perfect for me but don't see newcastle letting him go.
in england there is not many and few to choose from, suarez does need a target person. haunterlaar was his previous partner at ajax so would be a good shout, but his he available.
llorente - no prem experience but i thought he was class when he came on in world cup and looked better than torres (not hard at world cup) but he was good.
to me it must come from one of these, and we need to move fast, i don't want anelka, as we will be replacing one sulk with another sulk.

Read on the beeb that fergie's won the race to sign henderson from sunderland but won't join till summer. Plus now he wants adam as replacement for scholes.
*****************
Fergie is clever. Henderson & Adam to replace Scholes & Carrick. But I am used to us missing a trick or two in dealings.
Gerrard has been on the wane for a few seasons now and will not last for ever. Henderson is the ideal replacement and I would have liked us to be linked - but sadly, not.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Shelvey is better than Gerrard at the same age. If he keeps his head down and feet on the ground, he will be a world beater. Defo beter the Henderson. The players coming through from the youth system and the very good buys of young players will bear excellent fruit in the coming years, the future is very bright at LFC and I for one cannot understand Torres if he does love the club.
Chelski? What are you thinking lad? They are the anti-christ of football (along with ManUre)

Hey ed, if this Torres deal goes through, do you think there is enough time to find an adequate replacement? My issue is, we let him go, but surely there is not enough time to find a replacement of the quality of a Llorente or Aguero in 24 hours?

First of all, lemme welcome Suarez (the streetfighter) to Lfc and wish him tons of goals and as successful or even more than Nando.Still no updates on the Torres transfer headline though.it would be great to see these two leading our attack.
Lfc are preparing an improved bid of 10m for Adam but still short of the 12m tag put by Blackpool.again, don't know whether he'll wait for us or prefer Manure if they bid for him.
Coming back to Torres, I'm still pondering what has pushed him to hand over a transfer request and that too, to Chelsea.A team where the fans can't be compared to koppites.coz we do support our players even when they are struggling to find form.unlike the blues who booed Drogba when he was struggling to find form. Torres obviously can't see that.I personally don't think he's going there for money.he could have done that well before. I can't believe it's the same Torres who draped his neck with a Lfc scarf while lifting the World cup.
Anyway, things do change overnight.wish him all the best though and thanks for everything he has done for the club.

Dear Editor,
I live in Madrid, but have been a Red all my life.
Have a friend that comes from the same barrio as him Fuenlabrada. My friend is a couple of years older than him but both played for Rayo. My friend was never good enough to play professionally. Anyhow, have been talking to my firend, he does not claim to be a friend or anything but the Torres does still have friends living there and the gossip in the bars is that Torres wants to go Chelsea because he believes he will never win anything with Liverpool. He believes that this year could be the best chance for him to win the champions league.
People in the Uk believe that Torres is a legend at the Vincente Calderon but many of the fans believe him to be a traitor when he left for Liverpool. Including my Friend, a colchonero from the day he was born. Torres has status as he was the youngest captain, came through the ranks and stayed when Atletico were relegated, but he will never be seen as a legend at the club.
Atletico fans felt betrayed when he left. They argue that becoming a club legend and showing loyalty to the club is far more important than winning a few trophies. It is the same mentallity as Liverpool fans who hold Carragher in such high regard because the club to him is more important than anything else.
They are not surprised that Torres is leaving after declaring his love for LFC. Many see him as a mercenary.
Anyway, the gossip in Madrid is that Real Madrid will be buying both Sergio Aguero and Fernando LLorente this summer. Out will go Benzema and Adebayor. This will leave Real Madrid with a strike Force of Higuain, Aguero and LLorente, with Ronaldo, Ozil and De Maria attacking from Midfield.
Rumour is that Aguero has already turned down the chance to go to Chelsea as he fancies the move across Madrid. Chelsea offered his buyout clause.
LLorente may be sold this January if the buy out clause is met because Real are in no position at the moment to match it. The buy out clause does not need any input from the selling club so will negate any gentleman's agreement to sell to Real madrid. Therefore it affords an opportunity for Liverpool to buy, only if they meet the buy out clause and Llorente fancies it.
I watch a lot of Spanish football and attend games at all the three teams in Madrid. My take on the players are:
I am not sure that Llorente is the type of player to play in the KK pass and move style. He is not very mobile but is good at holding the ball up and good in the air, but this is in Spain, where the Defenders are much less physical. Not sure he would be much better than average in the PL. Torres was great because he had the pace and a good level of skill to go with it that gave him the edge over the defense. LLorente does not have this.
Aguero is a fine talent, but he is lazy, does not track back, only interested when he has the ball. His partnership with Forlan is not a partnership at all. Both play for themselves. Not sure he again is the sort of player Liverpool need, he is not a team player.
Anyway, the one english forward that the Spanish have taken note of is Andy Carroll. They are amazed at his mobility for a Big man. They think Rooney and him will make a fearsome combination when he improves his technique. He is much quicker than Llorente but a lot more raw and his attitude away from football stinks. But he is only 21, is used to English football, he would take the pressure off . I am sure he would greatly benefit from working with Dalglish. Plus he would also give us an extra defensive option at set pieces. It is no coincidence that we started to ship goals at corners after crouch left. Every team became predictable because they had to bypass him at the front stick.

Morning Ed.
This dead sea calmness surounding the club scares the sh**t uot out of me. The clubs website hasn't changed since friday i think and the rumours have also gone quiet.
What does this mean? What's going on?

Torres leaving is devastating for all, but these rumours of him withdrawn his transfer request is 100% False he will push for a move come tommorrow. I am absolutely sure Liverpool will hold out for 50 million and try get Daniel Sturridge who personally think he a good player with loads of potential.
We could use this money in the summer to strengthen the team massively. Remember Michael Owen?? left and we won the Champions League that season.
Fernando Torres left Athletico Madrid and he stated he left to help the club, to build there squad stronger with the money they recieved from Liverpool.
The only disappointing thing in all this is Torres has been poor all season and stated on several occasions that his love and affection and that he would never join a english club has all been one big fat lie! ! !
With Torres gone and Dalglish hopefully getting the job full time with a huge transfer kitty 2011/ 2012 could see Liverpool win the league and i wouldn't be surprised if it did happen to see Torres wonder why he went. . But thank you Torres you may just of ressurected a sleeping giant. YNWA

If torres leaves forlan to go with suarez what do you think ed? {ed's note - no thank you, not good enough for the EPL and he is carried in La Liga by Aguero who is twice the player.}
* *C'mon Ed. Aguero's goalscoring record cannot be compared to Forlan's. Since leaving the Mancs, Forlan has flourished, season after season, and his record in La Liga is frightening. Aguero has the potential to replicate such records, however, if Forlan were to join us for around 10m, he would form a deadly partnership with Suarez. Aguero will join Real Madrid in the summer for 40m, so we can all forget about him.* *
Glanton {ed's note - just watch Atletico play, without Aguero they are rubbish, with Aguero but no Forlan and they are still a good side. He is the central component of the side, just like Alonso was for us.}
***Aguero has 61 goals / 157 games since 2006 for Athleti. Forlan has 73 from 119. When Athleti finished 4th in 08/ 08 Forlan won the Pichichi, with Aguero also in double figures. When Athleti reached their zenith of winning the Europa Lg in 09/ 10, lets not forget that Forlan destroyed LFC in the semi's and scored both goals in the final (admittedly, assisted by Aguero), and won the man of the match trophy. I'd argue that Athleti need both on the pitch to be any good, but to say Aguero 'carries' Forlan is ridiculous. Lets just say that they carry each other eh? Ha.***

Do u know what these Americans have wasted too muchtime in January they should have spent the money in the start but they didn't and they didn't reassure players as well which has lead to this toress leaving s**t. They should have signed someone like aguero or llorente, suarez at the start rather than now
30 Jan 2011 11:44:53
Liverpool Rumours
The reason that we will never sign Aguero is purly down to wages - not transfer funds. Our top earners take £110000 a week from us. . Aguero takes £180000 a week.
We will never match this and why should we. This is why we signed Suarez as he is was onlyon £35000 a week at Ajax and therefore we can obviously compete with that.
ED, your thoughts?

Aguero is clearly better to anyone that watches Spanish football.}

Ed, do you think Torres wants to go to Chelski purely for money reasons?
This transfer move, (if it happens), will probably be the last chance he will have to win something as he is now days away from being 27 years old. . so why choose Chelski?
They seem to be in decline and Abramovich has been trying to save money all season with the sackings of Wilkins etc. Also, no fewer than six players lefy in the summer who were not replaced sufficiently.
Also this season Chelski have been as inconsistant as us, ok they are in forth place, but who's to say they will finish any higher or even forth? Their form has been dreadfull in opposed to how they used to be.
I think that Chelski need probably more work than LFC as they have an aging squad which will need an overhaul within two years. In my eyes Torres must know this and therefore he must want to move for money reasons as i think he has a better chance of winning things at LFC next season.
Do you think this is about right ed? Also do you think that Torres will refuse to play for us if we reject more chelsea offers? {ed's note - I really don't see why anyone is getting so upset about Torres, he is not our most important player, we have signed a replacement for half the money, so he will leave us with a big wedge to spend. So bye bye Nando thanks for everything and let's move on.}

Hey Lads I have got the perfect solution and now Kenny is in place with his connections there should be no problem. Get the same gangsters who threatened to break Gerrards legs to threaten Torres. Stevie Me kissed his badge and then handed in a transfer request and they changed his mind by threatening him and his family so there should be no problem with Fernando. And after he "changes his mind" you can do what you did with Stevie and forget that he was desperate to go and threatened into staying. I am sure some of Kenny's boys will have a word.

Fergie is clever. Henderson & Adam to replace Scholes & Carrick. But I am used to us missing a trick or two in dealings.

If we do sell Torres and then bring another foreign striker in then we need another striker to be back-up because the last thing we need 2 strikers that need time to adapt.
Maybe Crouch? Carew? Or Anelka if part of the Torres deal.

30 Jan 2011 11:01:17
Torres was promised investment and being part of a team challenging for titles. If NESV wanted to keep him (and Reina) they should have not gone back on what they promised him.
Roy should have left sooner and realistically we should have had at least 4-5 top class players coming in to push for top4.
Anyone else wonder if we would actually have signed Suarez if Nando wasn't insistent on leaving? 12.5m suddenly to over 20m? ?
I still maintain NESV didn't want to buy anyone this month and were just keeping fans quiet which has back-fired.
I know Ed's will all disagree, but we knew what we had to do to keep our top players and only have ourselves to blame. {ed's note - if players are trying to decide the club's buying policy it will end in tears. So stop spouting rubbish.}
30 Jan 2011 11:01:15
Interesting to see what will happen today, with torres going back to training. Would have really liked to see torres and suarez partnership but no player is bigger than the club. Forget anelka hes too old and not hungry. I would like llorente as the replacement.
. . . . . .
Agree with this we never wanted anelka so why should we make do with him so chelski can have one of our best players. I don't think so. We get anelka its another wage we have to pay and probably a big one aswell.
If torres is to go we want straight cash or the pick of there squad and cash.

Hi ed, great site . forgive me for being stupid and nieve but could this whole torres situation actually be a good thing? if you think about it , as previous posters have stated its awfully quiet from the man himself. my thinking is this. torres has been made promise sfter promise regarding players coming to the club and is getting more and more fed up. rafa goes, club promise him players that he would consider world class along with a proven manager. in comes christian poulsen, paul konchesky, danny wilson, and the exeption is raul meriles. and then roy hodgson. i don't mean the man any dissrespect but i m o i think it was a case of right man, wrong time.roy goes after what was, lets be honest, uninteresting football. so promises are broken again. Then the light at the end of the tunnel, king kenny arrives who bleeds liverpool red and sets about lifting the place and does so. club look at shirt sales and other merchendise regardind the name TORRES 9 and decide to act now rather than later hence the almost doubling of the suarez fee. the transfer request is a decoy and has got things moving regarding player purchase. i agree there is no smoke without fire but after everyting i have just wrote if the man wants to go to a so called bigger club(why chelsea i don't know when they gonna need a bigger rebuilding job than us sooner rather than later)then i say let him go 50 million and malouda. try and get in turan and mata and a striker, maybe the boy lukaku although i do think we may be held to ransom by his club. or houaru as i could see suarez and him forming a great partnership. i would appreciate you thoughts eds and other fans of the site

Valid point mate but you have to remember that Torres hasn't exactly been scrabbling around to get money for rent mate, at some point money is just nice and nit necessary, Chelsea may be offering a better deal but what Torres has earned at Liverpool alone would already see him set for life and then some! I don't think money is the issue here its just a sweetner.

Liverpool Rumours
From "ScouseNotEnglish" site: . .
Hugely respected Spanish football writer & Liverpool FC supporter Guillem Balague on Torres."Soon we will know if Torres is staying or going. Today he will face his team mates for the first time after he handed in that transfer request. He has been calm and expectant after he took such a huge decisions, conscious of the consequences. Believe me if I say that his agents aren't doing anything that he doesn't want them to do (no, he has not parted company with them, despite internet rumours to the contrary that surfaced last night).
I believe Chris Bascombe when he says that Liverpool are willing to listen to a new offer from Chelsea because I was told that in the last 24 hours both clubs have been in touch. That suggests that Liverpool realise that Torres has taken this step because it is clear he wants to leave and there is not much point in keeping someone, no matter how important, if he is not happy. The striker did not lift a finger in the summer after receiving huge offers from City and Chelsea because he was told it was decisive for the selling of the club that he stayed. He was not the only important player that could have left stayed to help the club.
But on this occasion and thinking perhaps that the wagon of Chelsea, who is showing their ambition by trying to sign him, will not pass again, Torres had to take a decision as Liverpool, who are certainly progressing but not at the pace he would like, were not willing to listen to new offers after the first one.
I had a fascinating discussion on the radio with Ian St John, someone I respect a lot. Some people have invented a story that on the radio I talked about when the transfer request was presented to Liverpool (we didn't get into that at all). But it was an interesting exchange as Ian argued that players have got too much power while I reasoned they have earned that power because, after all they are the stars of this business. However, I also understand the idea that clubs, as Ian said, should be above players, that it is the clubs that carry the feelings, history and the name and players shouldn't be above them."
This puts paid to the rumour that Torres put in his request before the Suarez deal. Torres clearly wants out and that's what he'll get, but I still believe we're in the drivin' seat an' can dictate the fee whether it be cash, or cash plus player. I also believe that it's quiet simply because we're not only negotiatin' Torres' sale, but also for his replacement (s).
30 Jan 2011 10:41:41
Liverpool Rumours
I have just been on the phone with a source from the club who confirmed that Torres is unhappy and wants to leave. My source revealed Torres was unhappy because when Hodgson first arrived he promised him that Liverpool's fortunes would change under his management and they would be back to their Title chasing former self. Torres is not moving due to money, money has never been his motivation as he original took a pay cut when he moved from Athletico, so that he could win trophies. He wants to win club honours and feel Liverpool do not have the ability to challenge any trophies for at least another 2 seasons. There has been no bust up between him and Gerrard or Carragher, it is not because he feels the new owners have not proved their commitment in the transfer market. Torres loves the club with all his heart and this is why it has taken him so long to request this transfer. He has always loved this club and he will always love this club. He has just started a family and is looking for a new chapter in his life, a chapter with trophies. My source revealed that Chelsea are not the only club interested in Torres, he informed me that other European clubs have been showing 'strong interest' in his availability. In my opinion I feel we should not fear a future without Torres. If he leaves, I will be sad as I feel he has been an amazing servant to this club and its fans, but think about the feeling when Owen left, many people believed Liverpool would not be the same without him, that he could not be replaced, that our success was dependent on him. Yet without him we achieved the impossible: Istanbul 2005.

Ed, can you tell me why we havent yet signed Adam for 10 mill? He has been one of the most influential midfielders this season, plus now fergie wants him as scholes replacement in summer. Come on Kenny sign him!
{Editor's Note: An easy one, thanks. Liverpool have not sighned Adam because they have not offered enough money, it really is that simple. Now there is reported interest from elsewhere so the club need to make a decision if they want the player or not. It seems Comolli's approach to negotiation needs some fine tuning.}
30 Jan 2011 10:39:12
I think that the owners are not willing to invest.they are here to do business and they are into the policy of sell to buy.They are not paying for Suarez yet coz they are waiting for the Torres deal to go through and then pay for Suarez with the cash they'll receive.if that isn't the case, then why hasn't the deal for Suarez been wrapped up completely.the Lfc website also isn't announcing anything.It really seems now that with NESV, Lfc won't be better than last year.3 weeks into the transfer window and no one joined us.The same time Suarez deal is agreed, Torres asks for transfer.that's really a plot from the owners to put all the blame on Torres and make him the monster.Instead, they want to cash on him and either keep the profit or invest in 1 or 2 more players and nothing will come out of their pocket.the whole scenario sums it up.
your view on that Ed.thanks.
{editor: I honestly doubt that they want to sell thier best striker.}
Your chatting a load of rubbish mate, the owners are willing to spend, it's liverpools accounting staff that are advising the owners t
Not to throw money at players this transfer window as all the prices are all inflated. Trust me, I know someone who is part of the team. Plus Torres had a deal wrapped up with Chelsea for the summer, but they have come in early to help them secure a place in the top four.

Anyway with all the Torres talk clouding the issue, whats going on with Charlie Adam, I hope we don't miss out on this guy because I honestly think this guy is a match winner. Also a few scattered rumours regarding N'Zogbia,
again what do you think the chances are? I know some people have differing views on him but I have a lot of admiration for him and hope the rumours are true.

"Im not saying we are signing him but alexandre pato was left on the bench tonight when a.c milan had started with 3 strikers on the pitch . Surely Liverpool could bid for someone like pato at only 21 surely a £25 million pound bid would be sufficent that's if torres does leave
Editor how well do you rate pato? and do you think he would even be on our radar on a list of possible replacements for the maybe outgoing torres?
{Editor's Note: Pato is an excellent player and out of favour with the new manager. He probably won't be moving in this window.}"
Unless Chelsea make a late bid he will not be leaving Milan just yet. However, I had to guess I would think he may well move to Roma in the summer as part of a larger deal.

Luis Suarez departs with immediate effect from Ajax to Liverpool. The English club will pay up to 26.5 million euros for the striker from Uruguay. Luis Suarez Ajax takes leave of a footballer who the supporters of the association over the past 3.5 years are the most entertained. The striker from Uruguay, placed himself with great goals, great action and an unconditional commitment to the list of most popular foreign players in the history of the Amsterdam club, alongside players such as Jari Litmanen and and Stefan Pettersson.

Hi all first time writing but read this fantastic site every day! Regarding Torres, will be gutted if he leaves, but he has obviously made up his mind (or someone else has for him)! If he wants to go we tell Chelsea what we want, not be dictated to by them. At the end of the day if you sell a house for 200 grand and the perspective buyer can only afford 150 then they'll have to go elsewhere. So lets say to Chelsea give us at least 40 mill and throw Michael Essien into the deal. Anelka is too old now, and Sturridge is the for the future, as is Ngog! Hope King Kenny is working in the backgroung discreetly for another CLASS forward to partner Suaez. COME ON YOU REDS. . . . . .

Morning ed, just a question, i know you would want torres to stay, but if it came down to it, would you except 45/ 50m plus anelka? or would you prefere someone else? zhirkov as a left back maybe? im gutted about torres, but he hasnt really done it for us this year anyway, and if rumours of splits in the camp are true, it may be a blessing in disguise and give us a much needed freshen up. where do you stand on this?
and agureo or pato should be the replacement, both similar quality players.
please ed your thoughts?

{Editor's Note: A different Ed - but if Torres is not happy, let him go. Toivonen or Llorente in with a winger.}

Well, we can forget that then. 14 million for Llorente; we'd be doing well to get him for double the price. I still say that we need at least 50 million plus a top player, with a few years ahead of him, such as Essien. While there at it, they can throw in Drogba or Anelka (even on loan) to take us through until the end of the season, when we'll have more time to purchase a longer-term replacement. 48.6 mill plus Sturridge is a joke and I will be severely disappointed if NESV accept this. Why not just hold on until the summer, hopefull secure Champions League football, and then sell Torres, thus giving us plenty of time to secure a deceent replacement.

30 Jan 2011 07:23:26
Torres leaving is the best possible news for Liverpool fans. It wouldn't have been a year ago, but with the new owners I sincerely believe that the money will go back into the squad. Torres has been injury prone for two years now and most of this year has looked surly and not interested in performing. if we can get 50 mil for him then snatch there hands off. Superb news fellow reds. Torres was once a magical player for us and I would like to thank him for his services, If he stayed then maybe he could forge a partnership with Suarez, but as it stands he has lost my support and If he wants to leave then let him go.
I'd buy Benzeama with the money along with Ashley Young. If there is any money left then I'd offer Real Madrid 20 mil for Xabi Alonso.
Good times ahead for the men in red. .

If Torres is going which is looking very likely i don't honestly think it will be such a great loss but he should also look at s**tbag Owen, we made him a star & what has he done since he left? I also think that 42-45 million + Anelka would be a good bit of business. He's a proven goal scorer & would be a good partner for Suarez

Suarez: I'm going to miss Ajax
From our Editorial Telesport
LONDON - Luis Suarez is happy with his move to Liverpool. "I'm glad I went to a big club. It's a great opportunity for me. It's a club where everyone wants to play." That said the former Ajax player early Saturday morning in front AjaxTV just before his departure for England. "It's a bit of a dream club for me."

"I missed a little Ajax. This is normal in football."
Suarez has not said goodbye to the Ajax players. "I have not seen them. But text messages sent."
According to the Uruguayan, Frank de Boer are sympathetic to his departure. "He knows what is the purpose of a player. They want more."

To all LFC fans
I cannot believe what i am reading.
If Torres is leaving and it is still a big if why would we want to swap a 26 year old for a 31-32 year old who sulks if he doesn't get his own way.Ask for full money £50 million plus maybe sturridge.Then hopefully with the money a classy winger and another forward andy carrol?.
Both sturridge and carroll are young enough to be around for years to come.
Hopefully kk will talk Torres around into staying untill at least the summer to see how it works with Suarez.

Hi all first time writing but read this fantastic site every day! Regarding Torres, will be gutted if he leaves, but he has obviously made up his mind (or someone else has for him)! If he wants to go we tell Chelsea what we want, not be dictated to by them. At the end of the day if you sell a house for 200 grand and the perspective buyer can only afford 150 then they'll have to go elsewhere. So lets say to Chelsea give us at least 40 mill and throw Michael Essien into the deal. Anelka is too old now, and Sturridge is the for the future, as is Ngog! Hope King Kenny is working in the backgroung discreetly for another CLASS forward to partner Suaez. COME ON YOU REDS. . . . . .

Liverpool Rumours
OPTION A: Torres to City for £35m-£40m plus Adam Johnson and Micah Richards
OPTION B:Torres to Chelsea for £60m straight cash
OPTION C:Torres to Chelsea for £50m plus Anelka and Sturridge
LAST OPTION:Torres stays
Personally, I'd favour option A.We get a class act winger in young Johnson and a potential world beater in Richards for rightback, allowing Kelly to partner Agger at ch.I know some don't rate Richards, but he is a young lad of immense potential that, under the right tutelage, will be a joy to behold when fullfilled.
With the money I'd bring in Hulk (£22m) and Honda (£13m).An attack of Hulk, Honda and Suarez upfront with A Johnson and G Johnson on the wings is as formidable as they come.
Option B wouldn't be that bad either, I think.Anelka will more than do a good short term job till the summer.If we get Anelka, we could spend a couple of millions on Honda and a winger and use the rest to set up deals for the summer (Hulk/ Llorente/ Kun Aguero etc).Sturridge might be a success or failure, either way, he'll have a sell-on value, so still we win.
But I'm hoping that City enter the fray, they'd be stupid not to.A couple of reasons why:
-at full tilt, Torres is the best marksman in the world. .more clinical than anyone they've got.
-he's an experienced prem campaigner, so would therefore hit the ground running forthwith.
-with him, they'd collect about 80% of the points they usually drop
-he's highly marketable
-he'd literally carry them to the title much earlier than they'd expected
-he's at the peak of his career
-he's available
-they can afford him
-there's a good chance Tevez will be off summer
-Richards and Johnson aren't integral players for them (or so they think)
-we badly need a winger a defender
-Johnson and Richards want games
So for me it's a no-brainer:Torres gets to play with "stars";City get the one man who could really expedite their quest for glory, and we get the winger we've always clamoured for and a potential world class defender, both meet with NESV vision.Everybody's happy.
So what you think, ed, about option B and it's odds?I say get on the phone now and a have a little chit chat with Mubarak or Cook.

and save the £20 for summer transfers together with the sales of Aquillani, Jovanovic, Insua, Konchesky, Spearing, poulsen, Kyrijakos atleast £30mil together . that means we will have £50 mil transfer kitty in summer.
Shawcross £10mil, Cissokho (LF) £12mil, Turan £12mil, Honda/ Adam Johnson £15mil.
If we sell torres now Atleast we know we will have quality squad next season and we will be in it for a serious title contenders.

Hey guys, love the site first of all. Very informative, pretty reliable and really useful.
Just wanted to say why your all panicking about the torres situation, do you thing with all the experience KK has he's not got a back-up plan, and for all his love for the club he's not going to do what's best for the club, guys its the King were talking about. And its not as if its the brilliant torres of 08/ 09 who was so great for us, he looks good because our other players are mediocre and he stands out cause he's 'slightly' better, worth 50-60 m no way! And if we can get that amount of money for him, brilliant! Could be the start of great things with that money. This is the way I see it:
There are several options we can do with the money, but this is what I'd like to see. I want players who are so passionate about the club, and so full of unity, that's what's going to get us trophies the right Liverpool way. So these are the options:
1. Chelsea for 60 million
- benzema 20 m
- turan 11.5 m
- aguero 35 m
- young 17 m
- left back 5-10 m
- adam 7.5 m
1a. Chelsea for 55 m + anelka
- benzema 20 m
- turan 11.5 m
- young 17 m
- left back 5-10 m
- lukaku 23 m
- gervihno/ horeau 16 m
2. Man City 70 m
- young 17 m
- turan 11.5 m
- left back 5-10 m
- lukaku 23 m
- benzema 20 m
- gervihno/ horeau 16 m
- adam 7.5 m
3. Madrid or Barca 60-65 m
4. Inter 58-60 m
5. Man United (unthinkable) 55-58
So don't panick lads, and eds just can you update me on our current situation. Who are we targetting, how close to finalising deals, and how much are they worth. And obviously the torres situation, where things stand. Thanks guys! Love the site loads, keep it up
{editor: There is no new news on the Torres situation. I think we are targetting a few players. Not sure when we will sign anyone though.}

I hear we want Ricky van Wolfswinkel. . hmmmm. not a fan and think we need a "powerful" striker! We probably will take the money this transfer window, because the rules kick in, in the summer and only a team like Real can bid for him! He will refuse that move because he is an Athletico man at heart!. For a man who we loved and created as an iconic figure, when ManU and Chelsea thought he was over-rated and didn't want to bid 22million for him! WOW has heart turned! We're all gutted, but don't write "YNWA" on your armbands when with AM and expect us to care or sing for you when hand in a transfer request! If the fans loved me as much as they do you, I would at least honour my contract and move. Everyone asked for change and we got FenwaySG and now a superstar partner for you and now you choose to do this! Pre-meditated I must say!
SELL HIM LFC! 45 PLUS Million can buy us a world class CB, Winger and Striker! and add a few more onto that with some sales, we'll compete not for a 4th place or 3rd place, but the league title!
This may be the start of a "King revolution" not a Rafalution! Who wants to leave, let them! (I would rather lose Torres than Reina-doesn't sulk!)

Man you have got to hand it to them! ! 3 months. . . . . . . . they are dead men walking if they sell Torres. . . . . . there is absolutely no point of return even if they bought Ronaldo and Messi with the money I am sure the fans would still be pissed off. . . . .It's gonna be a master class of PR to get out of this one. . . . . If they do this then I will give them a year. . . . . no 6 months and that's being generous. . . . .I am looking forward to all the spin. . . . . GOOD LUCK GUYS. . . .YOUR GONNA NEED IT! !

Hey ed.
I wouldn't want to sell torres at any cost now, for the fact that he is in good touch and we need our strikers to be in form. With suarez we can't expect him to bang in goals right away . And who ever we get as torres' replacement will be new as well .
I would go all out for either aguero or hulk, and then llorente , and play a 4-3-3 with meireles, steven, kuyt in mid, suarez(one who would drag defenders away and send in good passes), hulk or aguero-goal scoring, and llorente-target man . With glen overlapping in the left . The left side looks weak but I wouldn't mind conceding 3 goals or so if we were to score 5 wit this formation. .

NESV aren't stupid so there's no way Torres will go this window. No player's bigger than the club and he's seen the reaction the fans' give a certain traitor who joined the sc*m, this will be a similar reaction I guess.
Now I see the situation arising in the summer and he will go. Now these aren't rumours or nothing, but what would be good moves. Sell Torres and get about £60m off him, that's the talk right? Well If we were to use that £60m on new players we could look at:
Arda Turan - £10m; Keisuke Honda - £10m; Hulk - £20m; Alex Chamberlain - £8m; Stephen Warnock - £4m; Charlie Adam - £8m
For me that would be £60m well spent and improve our side into a title-winning one. Just imagine:
GK - Reina - Jones (Would like to see him replaced. Smithies?)
LB - Warnock - Aurelio
CD - Agger - Skrtel

We should sell torres for 60m and up! He plays a couple of good games after playing like sh**e the whole season and on top of that NESV gets Suarez then he hands in a transfer request?!?! what a sh**e!
we could get aguero, coentrao or taiwo, adam or banega and a right wing or right forward with the torres money. and another thing, if torres leaves, you think pepe reina will do too? what you think ed?
p.s. good job on the site BTW :) THANKS!
{editor: Cant see Pepe going. Suarez can play Right Forward.}

Torres to leave for 35m+malouda
Then buy llorente
Play 4-3-3
Front 3:
Suarez. . llorente. . malouda. Best strike partnership in the world. .who needs Torres?

Pleased Suarez has signed, didn't think he would in the end. I just feel i need to say to some Liverpool fans, what happened to you'll never walk alone? So long as Torres (or anyone else for that matter) is wearing our shirt he deserves our support. We don't know exactly what's gone on so unless we hear otherwise can we not give him the benefit of the doubt? We are a great club but we didn't get that way by belittling the achievements of our some of our better sons.
Charlie Adam handed in a transfer request and Blackpool fans responded by chanting his name from the stands during their last game and how do we treat Torres? Arguably our best player of the last 5 years?
You're a "supporter" act like it.

His armband proved he was a red SUAREZ SUAREZ. You"ll never walk alone it read SUAREZ SUAREZ. He bought it from a lad from Spain, long blond hair, forgot his name, LUIS SUAREZ LIVERPOOL number 9.
We bought him from the Netherlands- suarez, suarez
He loves to bite you on the neck- Suarez, suarez
He plays in goal, He plays in upfront
He, s better than the other cu*t
Louis Suarez, liverpools number 9

I hear we want Ricky van Wolfswinkel. . hmmmm. not a fan and think we need a "powerful" striker! We probably will take the money this transfer window, because the rules kick in, in the summer and only a team like Real can bid for him! He will refuse that move because he is an Athletico man at heart!. For a man who we loved and created as an iconic figure, when ManU and Chelsea thought he was over-rated and didn't want to bid 22million for him! WOW has heart turned! We're all gutted, but don't write "YNWA" on your armbands when with AM and expect us to care or sing for you when hand in a transfer request! If the fans loved me as much as they do you, I would at least honour my contract and move. Everyone asked for change and we got FenwaySG and now a superstar partner for you and now you choose to do this! Pre-meditated I must say!
SELL HIM LFC! 45 PLUS Million can buy us a world class CB, Winger and Striker! and add a few more onto that with some sales, we'll compete not for a 4th place or 3rd place, but the league title!
This may be the start of a "King revolution" not a Rafalution! Who wants to leave, let them! (I would rather lose Torres than Reina-doesn't sulk!)

Well you have got to hand it to FSG they are the bravest of the lot, forget about El Alamain, Vimy Ridge, Gallipoli, the Somme these guys are VC material, not even H&G dared cross the line, the point of no return, after 3 months they are going to sell our best player to the opposition, after spending an absolute fortune on players for the Boston Red Soxs they are going to sell our best players to fund this?? ? Man you have got to hand it to them! ! 3 months. . . . . . . . they are dead men walking if they sell Torres. . . . . . there is absolutely no point of return even if they bought Ronaldo and Messi with the money I am sure the fans would still be kissed off. . . . .It's gonna be a master class of PR to get out of this one. . . . . If they do this then I will give them a year. . . . . no 6 months and that's being generous. . . . .I am looking forward to all the spin. . . . . GOOD LUCK GUYS. . . .YOUR GONNA NEED IT! !

Im not saying we are signing him
but alexandre pato was left on the bench tonight when a.c milan had started with 3 strikers on the pitch . Surely Liverpool could bid for someone like pato at only 21 surely a £25 million pound bid would be sufficent that's if torres does leave
Editor how well do you rate pato? and do you think he would even be on our radar on a list of possible replacements for the maybe outgoing torres?

I think that the owners are not willing to invest.they are here to do business and they are into the policy of sell to buy.They are not paying for Suarez yet coz they are waiting for the Torres deal to go through and then pay for Suarez with the cash they'll receive.if that isn't the case, then why hasn't the deal for Suarez been wrapped up completely.the Lfc website also isn't announcing anything.It really seems now that with NESV, Lfc won't be better than last year.3 weeks into the transfer window and no one joined us.The same time Suarez deal is agreed, Torres asks for transfer.that's really a plot from the owners to put all the blame on Torres and make him the monster.Instead, they want to cash on him and either keep the profit or invest in 1 or 2 more players and nothing will come out of their pocket.the whole scenario sums it up.
your view on that Ed.thanks.

Hey ed.
I wouldn't want to sell torres at any cost now, for the fact that he is in good touch and we need our strikers to be in form. With suarez we can't expect him to bang in goals right away . And who ever we get as torres' replacement will be new as well .
I would go all out for either aguero or hulk, and then llorente , and play a 4-3-3 with meireles, steven, kuyt in mid, suarez(one who would drag defenders away and send in good passes), hulk or aguero-goal scoring, and llorente-target man . With glen overlapping in the left . The left side looks weak but I wouldn't mind conceding 3 goals or so if we were to score 5 wit this formation. .
30 Jan 2011 04:59:45

You've got £50 Million quid to replace *him* and you can buy 3 players, who by some sheer divine act of God are ready, willing and available to sign by Monday night.

Mine are. .
1. Hulk - £20 Mill

Just wondering with all the rumours going around could this be the canny scot and nando in a plan to get the americans to dip their hands in the pocket to complete the deal for suarez and maybe bring in more fire power eg ashley young , honda etc i know it may seem far fetched but it just could be a clever ploy by the king as nando seems to be coming out of his slump playing as good as he has for a long time and they believe with a couple of additions that the king may live to take the job full time pass and move the way to top four its not beyond the reach just yet or even a challenge for a champions league place this season

Lets be honest ladies and gents(pt ladies to prove i wasnt andy gray lol) if you think torres is leaving you are v stupid! from what ive heard Torres was asked, by LFC to put in a transfer request when it was known that chelsea were interested. they have asked this because they feel that this will mean chelsea will concentrate there all there buisness on aquiring a supposedly unhappy torres, thus allowing LFC to snap up other targets that chelsea may have there eye on. Torres has previously stated that he would play for no other english club so i feel there is nowt to worry about. he may go in the summer but only abroard so don't worry.
im sure the ed agrees with me on this

After a day of reflection, I still don't know if I want Torres to go or not. Regardless of whether his agent has acted on his behave or not, the guy hasnt performed as a world class striker for LFC in a long time.
Augero - yes please
Llorennte - yes please
Torres with his attitude and way below par performances to date - feck off.
Think I've just answered my own question. . If ya aint commited to the cause, do one Torres.
Ed, still seems to be a few rumours flying about, Young and Adam being the obvious. As previously mentioned, do you still think there are another 2 or 3 transfers likely or has this Torres scenario basically took up the clubs time and people in resolving the matter?

And then go all out for Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard and Fernando Llorente with the proceeds + £10-£15 mil from NESV.

Hi Ed first time posting on here, been on the net all afternoon and don't know who to believe anymore. Lots of people hoping for the best, facts are though if he wasn't going he would have come out and said so! In fairness anytime Reina has been linked he has always come out and declared his commitment to his contract at Liverpool. Feel gutted but pragmatic at the same time, he annoyed me against fulham and has frustrated me this season, doesn't track back or close down and his best games have always been against the best teams when he has something to prove. Don't get me wrong I don't want him to go but the club and the shirt are more important. I would take Anelka as a stop gap he's a great athlete even at 32. I trust kk so let's see what happens.
Please post Ed
Ed balague stating that he has not sacked his agent but pal of mine who works as a radio football journalist has been informed that certainly some sort of disagreement in the torres camp this morning relating to submission of request, feeling now from torres camp is that fans could turn so expect some sort of announcement from torres himself tomorrow morning.

I think nesv have no intension of spending there own money and with torres wanting to leave for a while they waited until they knew they had a buyer for him hense the delay with signing players.out of the torres sale they have bought suarez and now you will see adams and one other player signed out of the rest.this makes alot of sense since we waited until 3 days before transfer deadline and in the first 3 weeks of the window did nothing.they didn't want to invest there own money until they new liverpool were not going to be relagated and appoint a permanent manager.liverpool have become a selling club fact alonso, arbeloa, benny, mash, babel and torres the list gos on and we buy konces, poulson, miereles and on free's cole and jovanavic and not yet signed saurez now if that's not a sign liverpool are in real trouble what is rant over.
