And Chelsea couldn't agree a fee for David Luiz cause they couldn't pay the fee in one full payment, Benfica didn't want installments. Does that sound like a club that can buy Nando for 50 mill £?

I dunno, wanting to pay in instalments is one thing, but if they wanted a structured deal, rather than paying a big fee upfront, then it's good business sense, even if you are Chelsea. It's a good way of getting a reasonable fee and then if you have to pay more, it means the player has been a success anyway.

Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

Themn, you can cut it out with snidey comments. Point is we don't know if he wants to go or not, so your hysterical posts about he's not going are baseless, you just sound like someone in denial.

However much you guys have SS and Ballague, they are reporting that he wants to go, so it is a *possibility* that they have some reason to think this.

I'm merely questioning it, as I'm entitled to.

It's Southern Media Shit-stirring - and the minute we agree the Suarez deal too. Wonkers.
 
Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

I'm not a fan of Spurs but hope they finish ahead of Chelsea, pretty much hate everything about Chelsea.
 
Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

Liverpool have been quick to reject Chelsea’s £35m offer for star striker Fernando Torres.

But turn the clock back as little as seven months and the situation would have been very different.
The debt-laden reign of Tom Hicks and George Gillett, though nearing its end, was crippling the club financially as the pressure of ever-increasing interest payments forced the Reds to have another bargain-hunting summer in the transfer market.
Torres himself would also have considered his options. It took the Spaniard a considerable amount of time to openly commit himself to Liverpool in the wake of the World Cup, with the then managing director Christian Purslow having to travel out to Spain for talks with Torres and his representatives in a bid to make sure the striker kept his allegiances on Merseyside.
The scenario now is very different. Fenway Sports Group acquired Liverpool in October and brought back a degree of financial stability. And caretaker manager Kenny Dalglish—who replaced Roy Hodgson earlier this month—is attempting to rebuild Liverpool into a side capable of finishing the season in the top six and mounting a serious challenge in years to come.
Despite having a poor start to the season, Torres is also showing positive signs under the coaching of Dalglish, having put in a solid performance in the Merseyside derby before netting two goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Admittedly it’s not quite the same Torres who struck fear into defences across Europe in his opening two seasons at Anfield, but it is a committed Torres – and that commitment to the club is what will ensure Chelsea will fail in their attempts to seal a deal for the striker.
Torres loves Liverpool as much as Liverpool have grown to love him. In the summer, after announcing he would be staying at the club the striker said his “commitment and loyalty to the club and its fans is the same as it was on the first day that I signedâ€.
Indeed, even during the darkest days under Hodgson, when Torres often looked to be unhappy in the red shirt, the World Cup winner’s love of the club shone through. In the corridors of Anfield after a game earlier in the season Torres stood with teammate Steven Gerrard while he made his daughter sing Liverpool songs, much to the amusement of the Reds captain.
Though kept quiet, Torres did have a £50m buy-out clause built in to his contract last summer – and should Chelsea match the figure then the Spaniard would be free to talk to the London outfit with or without the permission of Liverpool.
However, this is unlikely to happen. Chelsea will have known about the clause, and if they were serious then they would have offered the amount to tempt Torres into a deal. Even if they did match the sum Torres would likely be reluctant to leave.
Liverpool are under new owners who want to take the club back to the Champions League and get them challenging for honours. In Dalglish, they have a manager, at least for now, who has a track record of winning trophies and has gained the esteemed position of being the club’s greatest living legend.
It could be said Torres had a similar passion for Atletico, his boyhood club, as he does for Liverpool now – yet he still left the Spanish outfit to move to England in search of trophies and European football. The difference is Torres didn’t see his career progressing at Atletico. At Liverpool, under the guidance of new owners and a legendary manager, he does – and that is why he will remain a Liverpool player for the foreseeable future.

Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

"Bitch"

"I knew he was a bitch"

Your words.

Now it's "oh if he leaves I'll be sick to my stomach"

Our official club site states, right now, that Fernando Torres is not for sale.

A fan has asked him about it, today, and been told "No chance".

You are prepared to believe and, therefore, condemn him after any spurious crap.

So don't get Holier-Than-Thou with me.

I think he's being honest. Balague has taken a lot abuse today.

The Guardian with their Gareth Bale story yesterday, yeah they know what they're talking about.

Barrett is the one to listen to.

Yup, he's never wrong.

Big thanks to Kenny Huang for landing Suarez today.
 
Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

Torres won't leave. He just recently reaffirmed his commitment to Liverpool and the club is moving in the right direction.

A happy Torres=a winning Liverpool!
 
Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

Oh, and has been quoted, the lad's committed himself to us for the forseeable future.

Honour his contract etc..

Yes, it may only be til the summer but I choose to believe him.
 
Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

Yeah, I have called him that because I feel at times that's how he's behaved. And whilst I'm irritated by him and at times his lack of effort and the fact that everyone seems to think Suarez is a great signing to 'show Torres we're serious' etc. I obviously want him to stay, because I'm an LFC fan and want what's best for the club and right now that's him staying.

The club website says he's not for sale, that's not the same as him not wanting to go. That's not the same thing.

And 'some fan asked him and he said he's staying' is credible and *considering* what SSN and Balague have said isn't? Okay then.

If Torres goes in the summer I wont be *that* unhappy. He'll have given us two years with no CL footy after coming here to challenge for trophies.

He's been more loyal than 99% of players in his position would have been, & I honestly believe he loves the club & will always be in love with us & Atletico, even if he leaves in the summer.

Spot on.

Although for me not that unhappy will still be downright miserable

It was my neighbours son, He asked was he leaving us and Nando said 'No chance' and laughed
 
Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

Ok then what ?

We should all run around like Chicken Little ?

"Aaaaaah it's SSN, aaaaaaaaah !!!"

Yes, ok then.

Because I don't give a shit about this club.

Yes, Fernando moans from time to time.

Maybe if the refs gave him a little more protection, he wouldn't feel the need to.

He's one of our genuine superstars and has given us a little bit more joy than frustration.

He's one of those "honest proffessionals" we hear about and, I choose to believe him.
 
Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

You believe his expertly crafted PR over the last few years themn ?
 
Re: Chelsea 35mil Bid turned down

Good for you Themn, I choose not to blindly believe it based on nothing. Instead I choose to question it, it's a forum, that's what it's here for, speculation. And I'd prefer to be able to do it without repeated snidey comments from you.

Seriously though, I'm suspicious of him. I think all players go for the big money when it's there for them.

Fair enough, but you're suspicious of every fucking thing, Rosco !
