Thanks Puke your like the new Andy Burton.

On Pazzini, his record prior to His sampdoria days was not great goal scoringwise. I know he played a deeper role for Foirentina and a lot of his appearances were as a sub but surely the Champions should be aiming higher than this.

I was thinking earlier on it was either one of those 2 options. I was hoping the later obviously. I wasnā€™t totally opposed to them getting a shed load of cash for Torres but itā€™ll be sickening to see him line out for Chelsea against Liverpool in a weeks time if this deal goes through. I suppose their only hope is to hold out for the deadline to close and have a miraculous end to the season to try and convince Torres that Liverpool can turn things around and challange for trophies. Either way Torres will still have plenty of opportunity to move on in the summer if he wishes.

Suarez is a good player but will hardly be as prolific as Bent I would think. Buying players off the back of World Cup form is dangerous business. His record in Holland suggests he is a fine finisher, he demonstrated at the World Cup that he has excellent technique and movement but not sure if he is all that quick really which is a big bonus at EPL level nor overly strong. Have my doubts about how suited to the EPL and Liverpool he will be and reckon he is well overpriced as a result.

On the flipside no doubt a fit and fully firing Torres is a superior player. Against Wolves it was the best I had seen him play in quiet a while. Itā€™s just with his injury record I think selling him makes sense. As a midtable EPL side Liverpool canā€™t afford to have their main striker injured regularly. 35m would go a long way to inject some badly needed pace elsewhere in the side.

Torres has handed in a transfer request.
Liverpool have rejected it.

Yep, see previous page.

The deal on the table is 40M plus Daniel Sturridge. Liverpool wanted Sturridge before, but they should hold out for more youā€™d imagine.

This could end up like another Gerrard story, fans burning his jersey when he looked on his way to Chelski only to love him again when he changed his mind.

The words Transfer request were not used MBB and they are very important, Gareth Barry told Villa he wanted to leave for Liverpool but never handed in a transfer request, if he had he would have gone there.

This isnā€™t Torresā€™s fault, promises were made, he was given assurances last Summer by all accounts. The Club has been shafted by the Gillet Hicks fiasco and you couldnt blame Torres for having enough. How long can he wait around for them to sort this shit out? And now a caretaker manager to boot? Torres never sought out a bid, Chelsea came calling.

Ehhhh, I never said transfer request, did I?

He has handed in a transfer request, you said ā€œsee previous pageā€ when the Runt said he handed in a transfer request but on the previous page there is o mention of a transfer request.

I was pointing Runt to the real situation on the previous page? Not seeing the confusion here, but whatever.

I am very disappointed with this development

Is Suarez signed yet? Iā€™m reading mixed reports.

It may be time to re evaluate your decision to re-devote yourself to Liverpool.

Deals agreed between two Clubs according to Liverpool.

Yes, I believe I may have been hasty in recommitting myseld

Awaiting an agreement of personal term so and medical Iā€™d presume.
They canā€™t have much money left for wages at this stage unless Henry sold his wife.

My sources have just reached me and informed me that Charlie Austin will join Blackpoolā€¦
