Definitely a good move to say these things, and make the owners realize ...

Nothing I can argue with in this article.


Torres future hinges on Anfield recruitment

Fernando Torres could quit Liverpool in the summer if the Premier League club do not recruit enough top-quality players to turn them into genuine title contenders.

Liverpool, currently struggling in sixth place, are battling with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City for fourth spot and a Champions League berth.

However, more than the quest to finish in the top four, Torres believes the most important thing on Liverpool's horizon is that they make a major assault on the transfer market and show their ambition this summer.

Talking about his future at Anfield Torres, who has scored 13 league goals in 18 appearances so far this term, told Spanish newspaper AS: "It's too soon to talk, I honestly think that we're going to be fourth, but for me Champions League qualification isn't so important.

"The really important thing is that the club makes a big effort and brings in important players, who will improve the quality of the squad. We need four or five top-class players to compete, better than we have here, who will make us grit our teeth and do everything we can to try and keep our places.

"Without reinforcements next year we will once again be fighting to be fourth. I want to fight next year to win the Premier League, to win the Champions League or the Europa League, but for this there have to be signings."

Referred back to the initial question about his future, Torres added: "There are so many circumstances and so many things that you have to take into account that it is too soon to talk about that. But I have this and three more years of my contract.

"I've left my home and it's clear that I owe Liverpool many things, and I'm very happy here. The fans have treated my like one of their own, but I'm going to think about my future and hopefully it will be here. I think these fans deserve to win.

"Beyond thinking about me, I think the club deserve to get back to winning (trophies), but they know themselves that right now that it's far off.

"The fans are worried about players going, it's a problem when you start to fear that your players are going because you know it's because the club is not moving forward, but I don't think that is going to be the situation here.

"Since the arrival of (managing director) Christian Purslow Liverpool have had an important boost, we signed with a big-money sponsor to match Real Madrid, then things are going to go forward."
 
So much for the Torres will leave without CL footie stories.

Good comments and he's bang on the money. Shame we dont have the money to buy 4 quality players.
 
these boys love the club, and they should be the basis for our success moving forward..

unfortunately the owners probably seen them as debt reduction assets...

sell them, and make next year's interest payments.

Again, didn't we sell to these liars, to avoid this kind of situation. I know, it's been done already..

makes me feel slightly anti-american, and i live here 15 years

If I was Torres and Masch I'd be on the phone to Barca begging to be tapped up.

I can't understand why some of you do this. It's balls, simple as.
 
well it will be interesting to see what the owners do if we finish outside the top 4. will they spend big to retake the place amoung the elite or consolidate midtable mediocrity.
 
Well, the most interesting thing is what happens with RBS and the loan. Hopefully they have to sell.
 
Torres is only saying what everyone knows: we have too many shit players in the first team, and a poor squad.

Four or five top quality additions is right, because the likes of Insua, Lucas and Eggnog should be nowhere near the first team, and we still have no left winger.

Good on him for saying it publicly, because let's face it, Torres deserves to be playing in better team than Liverpool have been this season

.... or right winger.
 
We need a left winger, a left back, a back up striker and a new midfielder if Aqua is not in the future plans.

Arda Turan, Kolarov, Jovanovic and Moussa Sissoko. That would be a good summer.

We might even need a centre back, as we really lack some presence at the back.

If so, Subotic would be excellent.

the reads like plea rather than an ultimatium which is what masher's comments sounded like.
