Torres talks - article from the times

[Maestro]

I agree, but who do you think would be our first choice
I guess it maybe one of Villa or Eto

It's Eto'o or Torres - don't think Villa is very likely.

[tomasjj]

I don't agree with that.

Rafa likes hard working strikers, Villa is a hard working striker, Torres isn't that.

Eto'o, Tevez, Villa, Torres in that order IMO.

I am sure Torres would do what Rafa tells him.

[ARIMAN]

Hopefully Eto, as I fear Torres may collapse under the fan expectations, plus everyone would expect 20+goals next season for him

[SB]

I can't believe how many strikers we've been linked to and silly season hasn't even officially started.

I don't mind who we sign out of E'Too, Villa, Torres or Tevez but please not Bent.

I also hope that whoever it is that we do sign, we do so quickly as it may help with other signings and I can't handle the pressure of the silly season and being linked with a dozen players a day.

Rafa will be trying to wrap up all of his signings as soon as the season ends - whether he manages it or not is another story ... we'll see what, if anything Foster brings to our football club then...

[blacky]

I think Rafa is working on his targets now with a view to signing as soon as season is over. I think he will want his full squad back together for pre season

[SB]

I read that Foster is going to be involved in negotiations with buying players and if so, what exactly will RP be doing?

[blacky]

I think they will be working together but Foster is there to give the negotiations a new dimension. Apparently we are to be more ruthless when going for players!!

And that makes perfect sense but in the past we've had to scrap in the market place to try to do deals and save a few quid here and there were as MU and the chavs have had there main targets sewn up nice and early and back in time for a good pre season and therefore they hit the ground running when the season kicks off. (please excuse the lack of grammar)

Where did you hear/read that lads?

[SB]

It was posted on here yesterday I think. Can't remember where but if I find it I'll link it.

[Joe Le Toff]

IMO
Our new striker will be Torres or Bent.
Or possibly both

Tonights Revista de la Liga will be interesting:

..Atletico Madrid's main man Fernando Torres talks to Revista about his future, ahead of another summer of speculation surrounding his future - with several Premiership clubs ready to swoop for the star striker...

I read it too, cant remember where though

I wouldn't have believed it last year. But with H&G I think anything is possible. Apparently Foster Hicks is now involved in transfer negotiations and a new aggressive approach will be used during negotiations. The yanks are ambitious and this will be their first transfer window so anything is possible.
