Who would sell Torres...

Well it looks as if City will be the first to test this one.

Man City linked with £50m bid for Torres

According to The Daily Mail, Manchester City will make a £50million bid for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.

Man City’s billionaire owners believe if Liverpool fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League, an offer for their star striker will be hard to refuse.

However, if City do want to sign the Spanish striker, qualifying for the Champions League is a must and following Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Hull, finishing in the top four can’t be taken for granted as the Blues lie sixth in the table, 2 points ahead of Liverpool.

A source said:

“Make no mistake about it, this club is ambitious.

They believe there is not a player in the world who is outside their budget and that includes Torres.

“The owners are in it for the long haul. Initially, their number one target is the Champions League next season. But they see that only as the launching pad for greater things.

“They are now probably the wealthiest club on the globe – now they want to be the best.”

However, Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez insisted he would quit if Torres was sold to balance the books and pay off the growing debt on the club.




Will never happen IMO. (not at that price anyway)

Jesus, Saddened, embarrasing I think you should get a grip...

bloody hel it was a hypothetical question. You'd think I asked who's best Hitler or Mother Theresa...

Good grief, there are some real highly strung planks around...

I'm not enjoying our results at the moment and I'm not happy with the constant overblown media hype about the decline of our team.

I'm not highly strung but certainly downbeat about the constant tirade of negatve comments and knee jerk reactions thrown at the club.

It is not all gloom and doom and I'm positive we will rise out of this bleak spell and become a better team for it

But it does sadden me when someone offers the answer to our lack of good results as selling our best player and sacking the manager.

Hypothetical or not it's a pointless question at best.

But of course that's just my opinion, you are entitled to wish for what you want, I just don't see your question as promoting anything positive by discussion.
