Torres to sign contract extension at Liverpool - you heard it here first

HAHA odds shortened on him staying at Liverpool, if I get that right I'm doing the lottery this week

cm1179 · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:45

if (though i doubt they will) man city sign torres then i will have completely lost faith in the game

Mark1989 · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:45

Okay to liverpool fans ive already answerd this but interested in peoples view here.

For arquemeants sake if we got Carroll for that very very high price and we have Suarez would you prefer Carroll + Suarez or just Torres?

Me Carroll + Suarez as if Torres is unhappy pointless keeping him ive accepted fact he will be going regardless now

Purdy · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:46

I'd rather city sign him than spartak

I'd prefer Torres+Suarez as Suarez was never bought as a replacement or because Torres was going.

or all three!

duc999 · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:48

Whereas Carroll is being bought to replace Torres ???

....and the Times are going to report something unbelievable at 3pm :eek:

I hoping for too much, aren't I?

You have to wonder 'if' Torres does sign for Chelsea what will that mean for Drogba?

Chelsea play 4-3-3, numerous managers have tried to change that but in the end they always go back to Jose's formation so will that mean either Torres or Drogba will be playing from a wide position? Stick either of them wide and you're losing a massive part of their game - Chelsea doing a City who have been doing an old Chelsea - signing players for the sake of it

If Chelsea have 50m to spend then they should blow it on someone like Modric, Fabregas or even Gerrard

jakeke · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:50

Spending £30m (more than half of what you'll get for Torres) on Carroll makes no sense though. Surely save the cash, play Kuyt up front for a few months and get a much better player for £30m or less in the summer makes more sense

xxalxx · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:51

I think its gone to far now for him to back out, I would expect Torres to join Chelsea today.

Not again

If it does happen and I didn't put a bet on it do you think they'll take this forum as proof to pay out?

BaZ87 · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:53

The money might not be able to be spent in the summer though. The way this window has gone, it appears as if clubs are taking UEFA's FFP regulations very seriously.

Adrianr · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:53

I'm not bloody falling for that again!

What's the most ever spent in a January window?

Yep. Oliver Kay is reporting that something major is going to be on the Times site very soon.

I'm not getting my hopes up though.

[J.D.C] · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:55

I would be surprised if Torres didn't make the move in all honesty. Sounds strange considering both Tevez and Rooney did a turnaround (although I personally wish Rooney hadn't bothered at this stage) but I just find it unlikely (just a feeling I guess) this is going to be the same.

jakeke · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:56

Big news is this

14.15 Fom Aaron Smith: "Just heard from a usually reliable source that Liverpool have made contact with Arsenal over the availability of Nicklas Bendtner with a view to offering £6m plus Pepe Reina, such is their apparent desperation to land a ‘striker’. A representative is ready to fly to London on a pig to finalise things once Arsenal get back them."

Interesting.

Probably be a load of rubbish.

Like Rooney for me, he's not good enough at the things you need to be a midfielder and he's not good enough to be an out and out striker(ignoring all but one season Rooney is no 30mil striker or winger), he's something inbetween.

.

Its amazing then that wayne has managed to out score almost every striker in the league over the last 5 years.

Its remarkable given that he isnt any good.
