Not so sure about getting more in the summer.
Which Italian club will spunk up 50 million?
Inter has just bought Pazzini, has Eto'o, Milito and Panev. Milan
have just brought in Ibrahimovic in the summer and has Pato, Robinho, Cassano.
City have just bought Dzeko for 30 million.
Besides the fair play rules goes into effect which will make clubs think twice before splashing out 50 million+.
And our leverage in the summer will be worse, as it will be a new Mash scenario all over. Everyone knows Torres will not sign a new contract and if we don't sell his value will decrease drastically.
He wants to leave, he doesn't want to wait 2-3 years until we might be fighting for titles again.
What is the use of keeping and unhappy player?
Sitting him out for the rest of the season paying his wages is
naive "supporter thinking" which will hurt us both financially and footballing wise.
