He has never wanted to play for Liverpool. He realised it was a mistake shortly after signing:And his body language this season has said it all:
I appreciate what you are saying Robbie, but I just think giving him 6 months to mope around, sulk and play like he has for the majority of the last 12 months won't do anyone any favours. Clubs won't panic in the summer, they'll try to drag the price down by spending the coming months tapping him up and he'll know which club he wants to go to before the window reopens. Trying to do a deal now could mean clubs like Chelsea,who are in danger of not competing this season, Real who are lacking quality up front and City who would bid just because they like to show off, throw in a crazy bid. Chelsea have already had a £53m bid turned down in this window so they could obviously go that high. I'm sure they wouldn't think twice about another £10m on top of that for Torres.
You could transform the squad with that kind of money in the summer.
