Annasfield Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 How many games in hand Mick?Chelsea have tabled a bid of ?35m for our Torres. We've told them to jog on. I hope they don't come back and offer more Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/273/#findComment-487659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Anna, hopefully the owners realise that selling him for any amount right now would be the worst possible move they could make with the fans, especially before they splash some cash on anyone else.

Annasfield Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 As I've just said to a mate. If FSG are serious about taking Liverpool forward, then the team should be built around Torres, Reina and Gerrard. Not funded by them.EFF OFF CHELSEA!

Jah Lush Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Don't worry Anna, it won't happen. Selling Torres to your rivals is not the best way to win friends and influence people. The fans would probably hate FSG more than the last American owners if they were to do that.

Emerson Crane Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Apparently Torres has a ?50m get out clause on his contract. Do you think Chavski might try and activate it to test Liverpools resolve?

Emerson Crane Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've never understood why agents are used by players. Most people with a modicum of intelligence should be able to conduct negotiations for themselves without paying these leeches sack loads of money, and saving the clubs involved unecessary expense.

Jah Lush Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 "Most people with a modicum of intelligence." These are footballers we're talking about here and they're not normally known for their intelligence.

Emerson Crane Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 It has been known for some of these bods, admittedly not all are the sharpest chisels in the tool box, to negotiate deals for themselves, so its not beyond the realms of possibility.

ratty Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think Jermaine Defoe has acted on his own behalf before.

ratty Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Clubs use (and pay) agents to persuade players to consider joining them. Then the agent puts some of the money into a brown paper envelope and slips it gently into bagpuss' pocket!

Jah Lush Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Allegedly.Ratty, I think you're still smarting from Harry leaving Portsmouth and joining Southampton and then going back to Portsmouth and leaving again and joining Spurs.
