You know...thats got me thinking, would be quite funny to work out a player currency. Substituting players for sterling values, obviously a Messi would equal a £50 note
A Konchesky = 1p?
A Fabregas = £20?

If Messi ever gets sold, I honestly can't see him getting sold for anything under 100m... saying that, I don't think any other team in the world is good enough for him but Barca.
Can't believe LP thought 12m would get them Suarez. He is in the 25-30m range. I rate him higher than Torres, actually, sell Torres in the summer and buy Suarez and another striker with the money.

there were threats of that nature (or so the press reported) if the bonus wasnt paid
Even so - whether its for a transfer or not, its still kicking up a fuss (imo of course)
Jesus Christ Frank! Read what we were talking about and the context that kicking up a fuss was used!
You really think Comolli flew out to Holland to meet with Ajax if we were still £12m apart on our valuations?
lol

He is performing better than Torres at the moment anyway.
Suarez
2007– Ajax 108apps (81) goals
Torres
2007– Liverpool 101apps (65) goals
No doubting Suarez he has a good record and a great prospect, but you have to compare the leagues too, they are miles apart.
As a comparison check out Dirk Kuyt when at Feyenoord
2003–2006 101 appearences 71 goals
So he is better than torres too?
Sorry heres another one, ***** on them all
Mateja Kezman
2000–2004 PSV Eindhoven Appearences 122, 105 Goals
YEAH BABY!
Indeed:
1998–2001 PSV Eindhoven 67 appearences (62) goals
2001–2006 Manchester United 150 (95)
2006–2010 Real Madrid 68 (46)
What a machine - can see why mourinho wants him back. Great player, dont think he really got the credit he deserved.
Not buying it. You'll change your opinion as soon as Suarez moves to one of the big leagues imo. Suarez is good, potentially great, but Torres is amongst the world's best.
Neither Drogba or Rooney have a great record of staying away from injuries either though. Drogba has been better this season and last season but during Scolari's tenure Drogba was basically missing for the entire season IIRC

I was surprised that Rooney is about to hit 300 games for Utd.
He does seem to take a while to get back on form though once he's playing again. Rooney is similar in that regard.
I agree their's isn't great but whenever people talk about them, their fitness record isn't always called into question.
Torres' fitness record is far from perfect but he's not the crock that some people try to make out.
And Drogba played in 24 of Chelsea's league games in Scolari's season, the same as Torres.
I wouldn't say that was true for Torres. The start of this season under Hodgson is the only time he's taken a while to recapture his form. If you look at previous seasons with us, he's come back from an injury and been banging them in from the off.

Oh yeah! Torres is rubbish.
