Gerrard and Torres sold already.

Hey Bilks, you ever see my post about you involving dying stars and fractals?

It was boss, seriously

Essentially saying you were dull, like, but really nice prose

It's gone rather quiet on the Ruud front. It was only a week or so ago that we were certain to be saddled with him.

He also said apparently Mancini hs asked his board to bid 93M for Torres and Masher in Jan and that we will accept.

Pat, my mate had it from the horses mouth, via text when we were in Spain in the summer (he is a fairly large property developer/speculator) in all seriousness that we had done a deal to buy Messi.
Fortunately I resisted posting on here.
The general rule of thumb is, if it sounds absolute bollocks.....it probably is

Liverpool Set for Audacious £95m Pair Move: Rafa’s Star Duo Wanted

There are rumours abound that Manchester City’s new boss Roberto Mancini will be given an obscene amount of cash and that he will be looking to capture two of our top performers. Liverpool pair Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano are said to be the subject of a proposed £95 raid that will surely be repelled by the Anfield outfit.

After sacking Mark Hughes, who had lost just two games this season, the Eastland clubs owners are said to be ready to give the Italian replacement a large sum of money, an amount in the region of £200m has been mentioned. Also in the pipeline for a bid from Manchester City are players who range from the hopeful to the very unlikely to the plausible.

It seems highly unlikely that Fernando Torres would leave the club whereas Javier Mascherano, who appears unsettled at Liverpool, is perhaps a possibility. Other players mentioned as potential targets as Franck Ribery, Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure, Thierry Henry, Angel Di Maria and Matthew Upson.

Rafa Benitez will not even consider moves for El Nino and even the embattled American owners wouldn’t be stupid enough to consider accepting any such bids, or are they? Either way it seems odd that Manchester City would try to buy yet more strikers as it appears scoring goals is not a problem, 33 in 17 Premier League games this season, and adding some solidity to the backline seems imperative.

Any player targeted by Mancini will have to think long and hard and balance any financial reward with playing ambition and if they feel that they can see Manchester City succeeding that perhaps a move to the club would be tempting but they do seem to be a little way from being top four material.

I don't put any stock in it, of course.

Just thought I'd mention that I'd heard some of the nonsense.

 

[keniget]

This City supporter at work starting talking about the possibility of them signing Gerrard and although he's a real nice guy, I just wanted to tell him to fuck off.

 

[manwithnoname]

Another bunch of arriviste rich cunts who haven't won anything ever.

More proof that you can throw money at any club at all, and automatically become a 'big club'

Gerrard at Man Shitty?

Laughable

 

[themn]

I recall being told that "money talks" when I stated that Kaka would not go to Citeh.

This was before the official 100M attack party from Eastlands landed in Italy, when there was all the crazy paper speculation about Conaldo and Et'o etc...

Gerrard and Torres a "done deal"....WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !

 

[Oncy]

I'd sell Torres. I said in summer that the injuries would not go away. His muscular problems will now always be problems.
He may be the best striker in the world, but if he only plays 2 games in 5 he's no good to a club who can't afford a backup.
If the rumoured 75m offer was on the table I'd take it, providing every penny was ploughed into the squad.
75m is Villa, Young, Bent and Hangaland.

Is it though? I take your point but when other clubs know you have £75M burning a hole in your back pocket, prices become far from rational.

And Torres is one of the few glimmers of hope Benitez's transfer policy has given us in recent years. In fact he's the only decent attacking player he's ever signed for us. I don't have enough faith in Benitez's spending to feel remotely comfortable with him replacing that many goals a year. Selling Torres for any price would be insanely foolish, IMO.

I'd rather sell Gerrard than Torres, and I'd sell neither. Gerrard is starting his decline. He has injury problems that can't go away and Torres will continue to bang in 20-30 for the next 4 years playing even if he only plays 30 games, thats completely necessary to keep. Goals are the only important stat after all. (not giving them up is implied in that)
