Rightfully so. We've been shit at corners since.....well I've no idea of the actual year but it was a long time ago.
Since Gary Mac stopped taking them.

Cutting your nose to spite your face comes to mind regarding the mindset of some regarding Torres. Yes he messed up by going to that pit, but the guy is quality and I think everyone would agree with that. If we had the chance to get him back at that money it would be a "hell yeah" and let him prove to us that he made a huge cock up and should never have left in the first place....let him come back and return to the greatness that he was when he was here, yes I know he went off the boil and was a little lethargic about the place, but something tells me he must have had his head turned by the mob to be so like that
Maybe, but I'd rather we get in Messi for 23m and 60k per week.
That's the oneSince Gary Mac stopped taking them.
Probably bs but Mediaset saying Sneijder is holding out for a move to us
So is Suarez.... OopsCos he's a cunt?
I know we're Liverpool and all, but why would Sneijder be holding out for a move to us?
We're not going to get him on a budget. So discussing the prospect of getting him at a bargain price is pretty pointless. If he leaves Chelsea, it will be for a wildly disproportionate fee, and it certainly won't be for a packet of chips to a club who might be considered a rival (yeah, I know we're shit, but still).
Not sure about that, Del. They may quuite conceivably prefer getting £10 mill.for him even from a potential rival to getting bugger all for him at the end of his contract, not to mention bugger all out of him meanwhile.
BTW that stuff from other posters about his physical condition BTW is guesswork. Obv.any deal would be subject to a stringent medical and to sensible wage demands on his part, but which transfer isn't?
I would too. I don't buy the idea that he's shot his bolt physically. My bet is his problems are 100% in the mind - basically he's always known that he made a desperately poor decision and has regretted it from the start. As such he would fit FSG's "get a player with problems and solve them for him" criterion to a T.
Because we're Liverpool?I know we're Liverpool and all, but why would Sneijder be holding out for a move to us?
Because we're Liverpool?
My answer covered all that 😛Because he wants to play for a big club in the premier league..
He realizes Man U, Chelsea and Man City won't be in for him..
He is also prepared to take a huge cut in wages to make the move happen. He does not want to play in Turkey..
This is complete nonsense JJ.
You can easily see he isn't as quick and strong as he was when he started with us. That isn't in the mind. Everyone that's worked with him has said the knee is an issue.
This pie in the sky nonsense that he'd suddenly turn back into what he was for 18 months of his ten year career simply by returning here is beyond stupid. That was his peak, he's not going to get back there - even though the miracle worker Benitez is his manager. It's pretty clear he wasn't happy here either too, so I don't know why anyone would think he'd suddenly be happy to come back.
I can never understand why people come up with convoluted bullshit theories to ignore the fact a player is simply past their peak.
Torres is still scoring at a reasonable clip - but we can get players that can do that for half the cost with the best part of their career ahead of them.
Not for the first time, a lot of this "answers" points that weren't made in the first place. I don't suppose for a minute that Torres is the same physical specimen we had playing for us, which is why I didn't say that. What I don't accept is that he's totally washed out physically. There have been times when his all-round play, and even the odd goal, for Chelsea has made it clear that that's by no means the case.
Torres was unhappy in his last season and a bit because everybody was, under a dysfunctional regime which was taking the club off the rails. It would be true to say that others dealt with that more professionally than he did, and I don't know for sure that he'd be happy to come back (any more than you know the opposite) but, given that he had his best years here and other top sides look unlikely to come in for him, it really isn't the daft idea you're trying to make it seem. This is leaving aside the persistent rumours, denials of which are conspicuous by their absence, about what Torres is said to have told his current teammates on the subject.
If there are better buys out there, by all means let's go for them in preference to Torres. If.
