So Torres is gone today. Shouldn't Comolli be judged on what replacement he can bring in on short notice? After all, he"did" have a list of alternative targets as ready made replacement if the Suarez deal didn't go through.
I read an article that Henry called Lerner directly to enquire about Young's availability and was turned down. Let's see what develops today.
Considering that we were looking at Ricky von Wolfswinkel, could he be a last minute addition as a striker? If it does happen, we'll have the shortest strike force in the Premiership.
According to a report this morning, the Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has no intention of weakening his team if Fernando Torres joins Chelsea, and is lining up a shock bid to take Andy Carroll to Anfield as an adequate replacement.
The Lying Rag says that Damien Comolli has been talking to Newcastle for the last couple of days, and is willing to pay up to £30m to prise the England striker away from St James Park, and they are going to use the offer of trebling the 22 year-old’s wages to £90,000 a week to persuade the loyal Toon star to accept the move.
