LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Roy Hodgson has told interested clubs to forget about making a bid for Fernando Torres after the Liverpool manager held positive talks with the striker. new boss Hodgson, who has already held discussions with captain Steven Gerrard over his future, has warned off potential suitors following a brief meeting with Anfield's star striker prior to flying to Switzerland for a pre-season training camp."I have met with Fernando. I found him to be a very pleasant man and we had a nice conversation," Hodgson told reporters in Bad Ragaz."As far as we are concerned he is a Liverpool player and we want him to remain a Liverpool player. He is not for sale and we don't welcome any offers for him."We want to keep him. My conversation with him was only short because I had to leave to come to the training camp in Switzerland."We spoke about football, the World Cup, his injury, and I told him how much I am looking forward to working with him."(Managing director) Christian Purslow was also at the meeting and chatted to Fernando for a lot longer after I left but my chat with him was only about football matters."|| Story || Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,535 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 ... now they are signing Remy. a possible Torres replacement? only time will tell.they probably just come to the realisation that they`ve got a really poor squad thanks to Rafa`s shambolic record in the transfer market and lack of talent coming through the youth ranks. Remy is a decent young player but not an out and out 20 plus goals a season striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX8 40 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 WOW Acording to THE SUN We are so into Torres CHELSEA have made a club record £50million bid for Fernando Torres. Liverpool turned down a £40m offer for the Spanish striker, 26, last week. And the Anfield club made it clear they would not welcome any further approaches for their World Cup-winning star. But that will not deter Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich from stepping up the pursuit of his top target this summer. A top Stamford Bridge source said: "It's true Liverpool have knocked back the first bid of £40m but it's highly unlikely that will be the end to it. "Let's see what happens when an offer of £50m lands on Christian Purslow's desk." Red Rom is now on holiday after spending two weeks at the World Cup finals in South Africa but will test Liverpool's resolve by upping his offer. He is hoping a significantly improved offer will concentrate minds at a club that has failed to qualify for the Champions League. They are also £350m in debt and made a £55m loss in the last financial year. Torres, who joined Liverpool for £21.5m from Atletico Madrid three years ago, met with new Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson and managing director Purslow this week in Spain. But that did little to stifle speculation surrounding his future. And if the Kop favourite comes out publicly and demands to leave Merseyside, then Liverpool may reluctantly consider doing a deal. But sources close to the hitman, who will be out for three weeks after tearing an abductor muscle in the World Cup final, say he is in no rush to commit himself either way yet. A Liverpool insider said: "The club were quick to reject Chelsea's £40m bid and tell them Torres is not for sale. "But the worry is it still won't be the end of it and that Chelsea will be back. "Fernando could kill the deal stone dead by coming right out and committing himself to the club. Hopefully he'll do that sooner rather than later." The Reds are closing in on a £12.5m move for Nice striker Loic Remy, who is regarded as one of the hottest prospects in France. Remy, 23, said: "Liverpool are a legendary club. I'm very excited about the thought of playing there." Read more: http://www.thesun.co...l#ixzz0ttyCJM13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldo 868 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I think that the club has spread the rumours about Torres only to fool Man City, so they will be also in Torres but then we actually sign Aguero. It is only my view on the situation, and I also think Aguero would be better signing, he is younger and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
