It makes sense after losing Costa and Villa and only bringing in Mandzu. We should accept any offer no less than 10 mil euros for him. No need to negotiate too long lest they lose interest, just sell.If only the board had our mentality - Torres for free! Torres for you, for you, or for you! 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jype 5,942 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If the board manage to get £50m for Luiz and £13m for Torres in the same window, someone deserves a raise. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BenIsLegend 475 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 This has already been mention but going to put some specific quotes here from news sources in English.Torres could join @Atleti in coming days. #Atletico have spent several days in London negotiating his possible return. (Eurosport)Chelsea asks about 16 million Euros for Fernando Torres transfer, a figure that #Atletico are trying to reduce. Discussions for Torres have also involved defender Miranda, but #Atletico insist #CFC will have to pay his release clause. (Eurosport)(@ChelsTransfer)I honestly believe this would be near perfect for all parties:Torres gets to return home, something which may reignite his career.Chelsea get him off their books and there is room for another ST.Drogba's return would make more sense, and this would allow Lukaku to stay as he would be second choice guided by his idol Didier.Atleti return a hero which will help them with their fans and they also replace David Villa however his wages may cause financial complications. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 How is Athletico going to pay his wages? Will Torres take a huge payout? Especially when he knows how strong a team we've built now which could win the PL and get very far in the CL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Atletico can't afford his wages, especially not after they signed Mandzukic, simple as. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Great. But Miranda? another ATM player? kind a boring already... i dont like it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jype 5,942 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Atletico can't afford his wages, especially not after they signed Mandzukic, simple as. Well, they did pay David Villa €160k a week + bonuses last season and they've now got him off the wage bill. Paying high wages is not unheard of at Atletico.While even the €160k figure is not close to Torres' current wages, approximately €220k a week, I would assume he's willing to accept a little less to re-join Atletico, the club he supposedly loves. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And at lower wages as well.I fear he loves Chelsea too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stroey 2,525 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 He can either play second fiddle to Costa at a team going for the treble here or play second fiddle to Mandzukic at an Atletico side that is likely to be less competitive than last season. And at lower wages as well.I fear he loves Chelsea too!The difference is, Atletico plays with 2 strikers up front in a 4-4-2 formation. If he goes back, he can earn a lot of game time since their new guy (correa) is also out for 6 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cadenza666 221 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If Torres leaves, can see us sell Lukaku as well ; and go all out for Cavani on 200k a week....dunno about Lukaku willing to challenge with those 2 around lol, that's why seems we have kept Everton waiting to see if we close for Edinson ....Costa, Cavani, Drogba - wow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quickpassnmove 922 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Torres leaving Chelsea would be such a HUGE BOOST for CFC. Get it done however you can CFC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Sovieticus 740 Posted July 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think the day Torres leaves this club should be written in history books or some shit. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sheva. 5,373 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 For his own sake, he should jump at the chance to return to La liga. There's a reason he looks decent in European games when teams don't park the bus all the time and he has space to run into.He would have that in abundance in Spain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Are people going to keep blaming us for weakening Atletico if we sell Torres to them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
