He is playing well. I don't know what game you guys are watching, or whether yo are expecting a Zidane level performance. England are doing really well in the center largely due to Chalobah and Mceachran. This is the lineup Pierce should have gone with in the first two games but he preferred donkey football.
He will take a salary reduction. The other option is the bench and he wants to be in the World Cup squad so he can't stay on the bench or play with the reserves like Malouda did.
The moment they don't take that offer is the moment we should withdraw from the Cavani race. Torres at the very minimum should be worth 20m euros. So that almost makes up the 60m euro valuation, which is too much to begin with.
He's not terrible in any way, it's just that his transfer fee will in no way justify his service. 25 million pounds is a good price, and even that is perhaps overpaying a bit. Plus it's not like he's young. He'll be 27 in a month.
He's always one of Brazil's best players when I watch him play for the national team. Last game I thought he was the man of the match and he's doing pretty well right now too.
Thank goodness we at least have Lukaku. Number one priority is to eject Torres from the team. If we can't get Cavani so be it. I hope we don't go ahead and spend some of that money on garbage players like Hulk and Di Maria.
