Hopefully that means Torres will leave.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Fri Jan 28, 2011 8:17 pm  

Torres will probably go. Gutted if he leaves us in the crapper during January, really classless if so.

Still, the world must go on and £40m + a player (believed to be Sturridge) isn't that great. Would love them to include Zhirkov in the deal instead.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Fri Jan 28, 2011 8:28 pm  

The power of the new owners might not be enough to change Fernando's mind but at least it gives the club plenty of time to find a replacement.
Will they play one up front (Suarez)? Do you have enough faith in N'Gog?

Id be happy if you take Sturridge.

Id imagine CA will change the formation to a 4-1-2-1-2.

Oh ye of little faith. All those Everton fans worrying Bill would leave us without a transfer window gift.

After Liverpool spent £22.8m on Luis Suarez, we have apparently signed Apostolos Vellios for an undisclosed fee.

[Leaves to find out who he is via Football Manager]

Re: Football Chat Thread : Fri Jan 28, 2011 8:49 pm  

Superb signing for us. Got to be one of if not the best attacking partnership in the PL; Suarez and Torres upfront with Gerrard just behind him.

Roy wanted Charlton Cole, Kenny's got Luis Suaréz.

I think we have slightly overpaid, but he was going for a good E10m more in the summer. He's a good player, signed mid-season, and he's a 3-position player, which is always a goody, too. Not sure where we'll play him, yet, but I can only imagine he'll slot in on the left whilst he's adjusting to English football.

Who next? Maybe Adam. I hope we go for Insomnia.

Plus he's young as well.

As for Torres he wanted the club to spend big money now we have, I can't really understand why he would want to go to that classless team, back to Spain yes but not them.

We paid £23M rising to £25M few years back and now hes a proven goalscorer in Premiership an CL you can add at least £20M onto what we paid.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:01 pm  

Chelsea want to buy our history - 500M.

According to Robbie, Comolli does all the signings now. Can't go praising Dalgleish if you rocket up on the Sua-rres express.

Obviously Dalglish would have had quite abit of input in the transfer. In Kennys' first or second press conference, I'm sure Comolli said we won't sign nobody that Dalglish doesn't want; or something along the lines of that.
