But it is true that he has been in Spain so it seems a bit fishy that the transfer request was sent through to the club with him not here and how did he have talks with Dalglish last night if he wasn't here?

i'm suspecting the involvement of some form of telephonic device

[neil]

...and how did he have talks with Dalglish last night if he wasn't here?...

yes, that appears an insurmountable obstacle. hey wait...

Balague suggested that Chelsea are showing ambition by trying to get Torres

Balague then sugggested that Torres will go into training tomorrow and may be thinking what have i done, Balague reckons that the transfer request was written before Friday and before the rapid Developments in the Suarez deal occurred, however Torres agent submitted the Request after all this when it should have been submitted before hand.

Balague is now in a position were he has no idea were the saga is going after he was the one to break the news early on friday.

He kept saying Fernando Loves the club he Loves the fans, but he is 26 and cant wait til he is 30-31 to start winning titles.

I say watch NESV and Liverpool fc go, with or without our star striker within 12 months

dang andy g again, moriarty 

don't feel too bad, neil. you were funnier.

[Joeblackisachimp]

whoopee

I don't have much time for PLayers who hand in tfr requests who don't want to play for the club.

if I was the chief Executive at LFC, tommorow morning i would be on the phone naming chelsea a minimum price for torres. 50m Cash.

then sell him without thinking twice. he aint robbie fowler, prolific, drops his head a lot, and has no left foot. he rarely scores from outside the box, or unless you play the ball right in front of him 8 yards out. he aint the complete article, or as good as David villa.

If he wants out, just get on with it and sell, and stop holding the club back.

50m in cash, then we bid 25m for Andy Carroll to partner suarez, a decent winger/ midfielder (8m for adam), and a centre back. or hows about Shaun Wright-philips anyone?

[burjennio]

In funnier and slightly unsuprising news, Marc Van Bommel juest got sent off 50mins into his AC Milan debut for committing literally 2 fouls

Serie As way of tellin him in no uncertain terms his sh*t isnt gonna fly in Italy.

Haha! Love it.

I've given up on everything.  I'm just going to keep waiting and see when something solid comes out.

[burjennio]

[Redangel]

It's Saturday night and I'm sat at the laptop refreshing like mad , with SSN on in the background .

How sad is that !

I doubt I'll sleep much tonight , nor I'm sure will Fernando !

Despite everything , I don't want him to go , anywhere.

I'm so disappointed in him , but he's a part of us , and like family , you forgive.

Breaking News: John Terry has offered to helped smooth Fernando Torres' move to Chelsea by showing Torres' wife around London

[andy_g]

He kept saying Fernando Loves the club he Loves the fans, but he is 26 and cant wait til he is 30-31 to start winning titles.

you see, this is the kind of shít that písses me off about all these modern superstar footballers. as well as getting paid ridiculous amounts of money they demand to have all the trophies and medals that the modern era of football suggests they rightfully deserve.

don't they get it that they also have to work a bit for it? that they shouldn't just expect to be able to walk into a prefabricated team of superstars and have it all on a plate. why the fúck shouldn't he wait 2 or 3 more years for a shot at the big prizes with the right team? he already has what 99% of other people dream of.

I don't understand why Torres didn't leave last summer if all this is true. I don't think this is about broken promises on the part of Liverpool. I think when Torres met Hodgson and Purslow last July in Spain Torres was told bluntly that no club had actually made any offers for him and that there would be no marquee signings made by the club until new owners had been found.

I think Purslow told Torres that if he felt the same at the start of the next transfer window regardless of the ownership issue he would have to put a transfer request in by written means. Purslow told Torres to go away and think about it for a while as there was no rush with the season still a few weeks away.

The turning point came when Hodgson was quoted in early August as saying that he couldn't do anymore to keep Torres at Anfield. A few days later Hodgson made another statement saying that speculation Torres would be leaving was inaccurate and that Torres would be reporting for pre-season training as normal. I think that Hodgson's first quote about how he'd done all he could was to push Torres into deciding one way or the other and that Torres decided against publicly saying he wanted to leave and did state he wanted to stay.

The rest is really history and because of the poor start under Hodgson and that no CL qualification would follow next year, before Dalglish took over Torres decided he would go in the next window. The timing is down to the agent so that Liverpool are forced to sell now rather than wait till the summer.
