As nearly every other rumour that we get on here, I think thats all it is. A rumour, and probably not true.

Benitez faces crisis with dressing-room disharmony
By Harry Harris, Football Correspondent

November 26, 2009
Comment

Rafael Benitez is facing yet another internal crisis as ESPN Soccernet has learned that the players are unhappy with the "bad atmosphere" within the dressing room.


Benitez has to contend with a "bad atmosphere" at Anfield

• Reina targets Europa League

A backlash is to be expected following the club's exit from the Champions League, but it is far more disturbing to learn that the negative environment has existed for some time.

An agent of one of the Liverpool superstars was guarded about the players' state of mind but revealed that the atmosphere within the dressing room at Anfield has been an issue for some time.

"The atmosphere is really bad," he told ESPN Soccernet. "There are a lot of unhappy players around."

Asked if those players were seeking to move away, he replied: "I am sure that there will be some players who would like to move on now, that's for sure."

With the January transfer window opening in five weeks, this is the time when players will be thinking of instructing their agents to find them new clubs.

But moving in January is notoriously difficult and, while Benitez would dearly love to ditch some under-performers and bring in new talent, the whole of Europe is aware of the falling value of their players and the club's need to bring in cash before they can buy due to their financial position.

The whole pressure-cooker atmosphere is building up to such a degree that the Merseyside derby takes on a whole new perspective.

Not only do Liverpool need to win the derby to maintain their top-four hopes, but the scrutiny will be on how the players react. Benitez is sure to inform them that they will need to perform at their best to convince everyone that he has restored harmony within the camp.

Benitez has been given assurances about his future, and five months into a brand new five-year contract, naturally the current owners would be loath to ditch their manager, not least because of the expense involved.

But the cost of failing to qualify for the Champions League next season will put intolerable strain on the club's finances, restricting buying power and making it difficult to attract the world's best players.

The American owners are committed to finding a new investor willing to buy a 50% stake and to raise £100 million, but so far there are no takers. Any investor would become embroiled in the in-house political squabbling that has marred relationships in the boardroom ever since Gillett and Hicks fell out.

Relations between Gillett and Hicks have been repaired out of necessity and the urgent need to raise new capital, but the length of the truce remains to be seen.

Babels agent?
 
Oh, and according to Spanish press and Balauge.

Torres is disapointed that we're out of the CL, but will see out the reminder of his contract regardless of our current form and lack of success.

How long is that? Memory tells me 4 or 5 years?

2014 mate
[/quote]

IS it not 2013? As far as I remember he signed a 6 year contract in 2007. He signed an improved deal in the summer but there wasn't any length added to it.
 
Y'know I was half-tempted to start a thread on here or TLW along the lines of 'How Long Will Torres Stick Around?' to generate a bit of debate and
referencing the CL exit, lack of funds, Benitez being 'cold', Lucas being a cunt, whatever.

But I thought that, unlike 99% of footballers who say one thing and do another, I really do think Torres loves everything about playing for Liverpool, and so I don't think he would jump ship anyway

These quotes back that up

LFC has more of that 1% than any other club
 
Theres something about Liverpool, that players (and managers) seem to just buy into. Even the fans are different. Thats why I love this club.

Torres is passed off according to who? Some old fella spouting off down at the local whilst supping a pint of mild?

Funny that you keep your gob shut when you're getting the team selection handed to you on a plate well before it's announced.
 
Fucking hell, Bilko, you really are a tiresome, boring twat sometimes

Was it Bilko that kept giving Supertan a hard time?

Jesus, and we wonder why insider 'gossip' is so rare here
 
"The situation at Anfield has fuelled speculation over Fernando Torres' future at Liverpool, with too many people trying to second guess what the Spanish striker is thinking right now and suggesting that he is reconsidering his future under Benitez.

Let's put an end to the guesswork: in a recently published interview (that was actually conducted in August) Torres said "my place is in Anfield".

I can tell you that he has not changed his mind. His Liverpool contract runs until 2014 and he wants to fulfil it. He believes in Rafa's project, despite recent setbacks, and he has total faith in the manager, his staff and colleagues.

Fernando is, quite naturally, disappointed after Wednesday's elimination from the Champions League, but he is as committed to delivering future success to Liverpool as he has always been."
 
Yeah, as expressed above, I really do trust Torres, but that does not mean that Bilko, or whoever, needs to jump on whoever, simply for passing on rumour/hearsay and gossip, all of which I fucking *love*

And Bilko is usually having a pop at lads who live within 10 miles of Anfield, whereas that dull fuck lives where?

Zackerley
 
Brendan is right, with Torres missing , never have I had so little faith in a Liverpool team, to deliver results........ever.

Rafa makes me laugh, I don't know how he gets away with it, he plays some fans like a magic fiddle, he is so obvious, but everyone falls for it.
All he has done here is bring up and his refresh his Word document from last year called "When The Going Gets Tough Bullshit Rafa v vi", (and the year before that v iv), and everyone swallows it.

I missed the sections in the main text...........

Rafa on Ridiculous Substitutions

Rafa on playing two defensive mid-fielders

Rafa on not having cover up front

etc etc etc

Agreed. I think he will go back to Atletico after his contract here. He is the last of the genuine footballers who view the game from the fans perspective. I just cannot see, absolutely cannot see him agreeing to play for another team in Spain or England.
 
*Vlad needs a cuddle. (On the same island where Richard Dawkins fans express their desire to murder people who are agnostics. It takes about a month to get there. And get back. They're still in a foul mood but at least we've had a break.)

Rather an over the top reaction to a simple questio, Sheik. Rather not have the team posted early, thanks all the same. Using my 'phone so unfortunately couldn't view the picture that you posted but doubtless it was 1/ hilarious and 2/ a good use of your time.

Why?
 
He would rather not have the team posted early because then the opposition managers can formulate a tactical masterclass based on this insider knowledge

He's mentioned this before

Often

He could bring a tear to a fucking glass eye
 
That could be a compliment i suppose, implying that this site is so popular, that Arry Redknapp pours over this site looking for hints hours before.

I bet he thought the moon landing was faked too.
 
Don't get me started on divs who believe that

Btw, if anyone wants some celeb lunacy, please do google Jim Coor, the drummer from said band

He has gone full-on, Icke Disciple, conspiracy theory nut

It's very funny indeed
 
I think the re-intoduction of the death penalty into Ireland is a very serious issue Brendan, and should not be taken so lightly

Poor Jim
