Bollage or whatever he's called has just got a stern email from me, CC'd sky in too so they can see it. I've cancelled all sky products, not having them in my house.

shove that on your web page you t.wats

Bloody hell I'd better sell my Sky shares quick.

If he leaves it will be typical Liverpool...Go into the window looking for a striker and sell two instead. All we'd have left is Ngog and Kuyt. Im starting to hope the window just finishes and we keep what we have.

Have to agree with Bav, ill be seriously upset with Fenway if come Monday we have no Torres or Suarez. A bit more ambition and we may get both.

Have to wait and see what happens though.

Why would he say thta if it wasnt true? So Torres does want to go, and who can blame him, hes not going to gte European footy any time soon, hes going to get no honours at all.

We have been promising improvements for AGES now, with nothing significant happening, I agree with BAV, if wed signed Suarez and showed some desire to improve the squad, this wouldnt be happening.

Its alright being shrewd, but when people have (allegedly) been told they can leave if we dont improve the squad, we are shooting ourselves in the foot.

Liverpool FC tell Chelsea to forget it after receiving bid for Fernando Torres
Luke Traynor
Jan 28 2011

LIVERPOOL have turned down a bid from Chelsea to sign Fernando Torres and insist the star striker is simply not for sale.

Details of Chelsea's move for the striker emerged just three days before the end of the transfer window.

The London club have tabled an offer of around £35m for the striker, which was promptly rejected by Liverpool.

A Reds spokesman said: "Chelsea have made a bid for Fernando, which has been turned down.

"The player is not for sale."

Chelsea will now decide if they are prepared to make a further offer for Torres between now and Monday.

But if they do so, owner Roman Abramovic will be issued with another clear 'hands-off' from the Liverpool hierarchy who absolutely have no intention of cashing in on their star number nine.

Sources within Anfield are not entertaining any thoughts of Torres leaving Merseyside, and the five times European champions are keen for the striker to form a new and exciting partnership with Ajax's Luis Suarez, if that deal can be agreed before Monday.

Ajax had set a deadline of tomorrow for any transfer to be wrapped up, but with the two club's valuations of the player still some way apart, the Dutch side wanting between £20-25m for the Uruguyan, negotiations have not been straightforward.
Torres, meanwhile, has endured a frustrating season at Anfield, scoring nine goals in 25 appearances for the club.

But he has looked rejuvenated under new caretaker boss Kenny Dalglish, and scored twice last Saturday in the Reds' 3-0 win against Wolves.

Liverpool have progressed up the Premiership in recent weeks under the Scot's stewardship, moving to seventh after Wednesday's win against Fulham at Anfield.

They remain nine points behind Chesea, who are fourth, while Carlo Ancelotti's side, who themselves have struggled for form this season, stand ten points behind league leaders Manchester United.

Torres returned to Anfield after winning the World Cup with Spain in the summer where he had struggled with form and a knee injury which plagued him througout the competition and looked out-of-sorts under manager Roy Hodgson.

It is reported the striker, whose contract expires in 2013, has a £50m buyout clause in his contract, which could test Chelsea's resolve in the coming days and demonstrate how keen they are to land the 26-year-old's services.

The Spaniard has been subject to transfer speculation before, last underlining his desire to stay at Liverpool after returning from South Africa last summer by stating 'my commitment and loyalty to the club and its fans is the same as it was on the first day that I signed."

So we can put that particular rumour to bed people ....Torres is going nowhere

by **jacdaniel** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 2:36 pm

I dunno how to feel right now...things have been so much better since Kenny has come back and we've been getting linked with players as well as moving up the table. I was kinda expecting Torres to leave at some point but right now it would be like a knock out blow. The timing would be terrible.

Chelsea are probably aware that we're struggling in the market and they know Torres is not happy so of course they'll throw a bid in.

He wants out lar

Let's hope we get a fair price £40M+ ?

Who the Fluk does he think he is?

Does he think he's better than us? don't make me laugh Nando

He needs to watch some videos of Rushie's workrate in EVERY game to see a true No. 9

i love the lad but i feel we're getting mugged off by him.

I still think he is mugging us off

We have rejected the bid but if Torres has changed his mind and is seriously considering moving on the we have a problem theres no question about it. We can turn down bids all day long but if someone wants away its inevitable unless you can turn his head around. Maybe the Suarez thing become more important now as if theres any truth that Torres is looking for a way out a signing like that may shift his focus back on Liverpool again who knows.

no they dont.

That was a rumour a couple of weeks ago. Quickly squashed as Tomkins and a couple of others tweet the two different agents for the players
