Fernando Torres

[Jaymo]

As much as I loved Torres when he was here, there's no way I'd bring him back now, not because of the way he left or any of that, purely because he's lost 'it' he will never be close to what he was.

While he may be more of a threat than Carroll that is more of an indictment of Carroll than praise for Torres, IMO spending any money we got from selling Carroll to buy Torres would just be throwing good money after bad.

I hear you Exiled.

I just think for the money they're supposedly asking for, and the ridiculous prices being paid for goalscorers then £15 million is a good option especially when the player has been proven to score goals in your team beforehand.

Maybe you're right, Obviously £15m for the Torres of old is a no-brainer, even if he'd had one poor season you could still see it as a good deal. But for me, with him at 29 years old, with the wages he'd demand, and 2.5 seasons of poor form behind him I just can't see it being a good deal. I'd love to be proved wrong though...

Could turn out to be our lil fox in the box...little movement & link up play & rediscover his finishing touch...no need for too much pace.

I think Paddy Power are being total ****s with this nasty ad campaign.

It's demeaning to everyone. It's one thing when someone makes a joke like that to a mate in a pub, it's quite another when it's on public display and being used to make a profit. In a small way it makes the world a more unpleasant place.

If the pun was funny then fair enough. But it's not even remotely funny imo.

If Torres was going on a free or less than £5m and £40k p/w wages then fine, it'd be worth a punt.

Anything more than that and I wouldn't go anywhere near him.

[Gibbo]

It's a cunts trick but when you think about it it's good advertising isn't it.

Got tons of "free" publicity from this.

I'm sure Torres won't be too bothered by it anyway, Chelsea drew more attention to it than anything by asking them to take it down. Ignore it and eventually people get bored of it and it goes away.

Those are the alter egos. Fatman and Bobbins.

Dothing my cap to you here

Yep 5m would be tops what I would pay for him. Having said that I saw an interview with Gerrard the other day on youtube (not sure how old it is) where he said that Torres is a confidence player. Playing from the bench is certainly not going to help him, therefore we would be buying CFC Torres, not the LFC one, and I have an issue with him going into the team ahead of Sturridge. Poor old Danny if that were to happen. Two clubs, done nothing really wrong and he gets pushed out for a player who couldn't hit a barn door.

I see where you're coming from, but imagine someone put up a billboard outside you're place of work telling you how **** you were at your job and suggesting you change your career, im sure you wouldn't be best please

I think there's nothing wrong with using your right to a freedom of speech, but I think that speech has to be unoffensive too

Oh i totally agree, but i'm not a footballer, and like it or not it is different, players are all to keen to see images of themselves up in lights proclaiming their genius, if PP put one up calling Torres the best player in the league when he was banging goals in he'd be well happy.

Not saying i agree with the ad either, it is a cunts trick no doubt, especially considering the massive fall from grace that's occured, but in football things are different, it isn't 'normal' life, is it ? players court publicity to make them look good, and it's just a poster from a bookie after all, poking fun at a football player, if they had put it up outside his house then i think i'd have more if a problem with it tbh.

[Lee]

The ****house is doing okay this evening.

[Reece]

What was his goal like?

[Roboklopp]

He's back!!!!!!1






Scrappy in the end

[Roboklopp]

WTF how's Torres got 17 this season ??



That "Born is The King" banner is possibly the gayest I've ever seen...

[McDermotX]

Should flick over to Spurs
