I totally agree with you guys who say that players and managers are not permanent, only the club and us passionate fans. If Torres wants to leave, let him leave and no need to label him Judas, traitor, scum etc etc. Even if he stays, one day the club will want to get rid of him like the club did with kop idols Rush and Fowler. This is the blunt reality of football. Players know that their club will only value them when they are of use to the club, thus they will always go where the cup winning glories and money are while they are still at their prime.
I don't blame him for wanting to leave, but I do blame him for backstabbing when the season is not over and his scoring prowess is much much needed right now. The club must convince him to stay till the end of season and sell him for at least 50 million. Then use the cash to buy a few more star names esp. a defensive midfielder and central defender who are good at counter attacks.
I know the guy is not happy here with his sour facial expression ALL the time. And I totally agree with the club's stance on letting him go now for 50 million plus Anelka as a free bonus whom we can sell for a at least 15 million.
