Torres: "I want to leave Athletico and play for another team in Europe. I like Liverpool."
Athletico boss: "your not moving because they haven't paid the release clause".
Torres: "But they're willing to pay, just not £27m"
Athletico boss: "well it aint enough so your not leaving".
Torres: "Fine, you can pay my wages for a year but I aint kicking another football for your stinking team, so swivel!"
and do you think torres would do that?
I think you missed my point. I used Torres as an example.
I was refering to the fact that if a player wants to move to another club so badly, what effect would it have if the said player refused to kick another ball for that team?


if we didnt have such tight fisted owners then torres would be signed and all. sell cisse and give them garcia and 21 million and we would have the world class striker everyone wants as well as attracting more talent to the club
but theres nothing we can do bout it its up to the board to pull out all the stops to get him its the least they could do for us fans a big name signing theyd prob make back a couple of million alone on jersey sales for him
