January Transfer Window 2010/2011 Season Rumours/Signings
- Thread starter DanH84
- Start date
Why would he be anymore ****ed off now than at the start of this season? Post-takeover we're in a far stronger position and while the club knew it would be difficult to keep him beyond this season, there was some hope that he could be persuaded to stay. He was let down by Purslow, H&G, not the fans but it's the fans that he's screwed over.
Like I said, he could have even been forgiven for leaving this window had he made his intentions clear from the start.
Had he left in a dignified way, he could have still been remembered as a great Liverpool player but now he'll be remembered as a **** like Owen.
I or we didn't get anything for him thanks
Come on G|mp! Now the King's back, you're 1 of us again. Don't deny it
After initially being angry that he didn't wait til summer, I'm actually pretty happy that he has gone in january now. The season is getting better , and I think will improve further, but will still ultimately be a poor season. But by Torres going now, it gives us almost half a season to bed in the new frontline, adapt to required changes in playstyle and tactics , and I think that, after some summer signings will put us in a stronger shape for the start of next season than if we had tried to do it all in a summer break.
How do you know he wasn't waiting to see how the transfer window went?
Saw Liverpool making piddly bids for Suarez and probably knowing all the details and thought sod this I'm off.

You a New York Cosmo's fan as well

I had a brief moment considering an edit, but assumed you would see I'm quite clearly referring to Baz's comment as a continuation of what you said and wouldn't be so pedantic. I'm aware you're not a 'Pool fan.
But you quoted me, hence the confusion. I know you City fans can be a bit dense sometimes

Missed the 'continuation of what you said' part then? Dense?
Maybe the forum should just allow quotes within quotes like everywhere else.But you quoted me, hence the confusion. I know you City fans can be a bit dense sometimes

Do you mean like that? ^^
Because I wasn't born yesterday.
Even if he was waiting to see what the clubs plans were, he still should have waited until the summer.
You don't know though do you?
He may have been given assurances that they were going to plough money into lots of players and when it didn't materialise he did one.
All I'm saying is that it's easy to play the jilted lover but we don't know what happened behind the scenes.
No, actually
Though I fear even if I had put what Baz said above yours, the pedant in you still would have prevailed sparking the same comment. Win some you loose some.No, actually
I'm not pedantic in the slightest.
It's lose by the way.

Said both these before, Liverpool's season is effectively over, they aren't getting champs league, they were always going to get Europa league, with Hodgson, kenny, or if they put Caragher in charge they were going to strengthen in Jan and form was improving. They've got nothing to play for, miss or gain this season, if you bed in a new front line early next season you might have two "crouch" type situations, two guys who can't score for 6 months and screw up next season. Much better to build now and come into next season stronger.
As for the timing, its the same situation as Bruce/Bent. Bent asked for a transfer in summer, there was an offer in Jan, he asked to accept it, then afterwards Bruce starts talking about loyalty, how it was wrong to leave and how he owed the club another 6 months and should have waited till summer.
But he's already waited 6 months, Torres(for anyone not utterly utterly blind) has wanted out since WELL before summer, he was clearly unhappy and out of form, as the team went to crap well before summer. Bent/Torres both left 6 months after they wanted to, not 6 months before they should have for any particularly stupid reason managers come up with.
Fans fall for this rubbish time and time again, players consistantly say they love a club, and kiss the badge, 0.2% of all players mean it, the rest are getting you to buy shirts. Managers want to make the outgoing player look bad and blame them, outgoing players want to make the manager/club look bad and not anger loads of fans who will trash their cars given half the chance.
its all a game, none of it is sincere or real, yet people fall for it and have angry reactions to feigned love of a club, or perceived dishonesty or betrayal.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that he's been given any assurances that the club haven't lived up to by the current owners or board.
He could have left last summer and most supporters wouldn't criticised him, he could have left this summer too but whether it was planned or not (and I'd be shocked if it wasn't), he screwed the club and therefore he's a ****.

He would have been criticised whenever he left you, you know he would have.
I just don't think we know the full story and probably never will, unless she comes out and tells us all.
