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.

Well, I can really understand if clubs dont want Torres in a exchange deal. He is a huge gamble. He is not getting younger, you dont know how he will perform and he has a very large salary.

Would Torres accept that move? No way Napoli can afford his wages and would Torres really take a pay-cut? The best we could hope for is that Torres gets as high terms he can possible get at Napoli and then we're stuck still paying him wages for the difference. That's really the only way I see this happening.

Another thing you have to realize is that transfer fees are amortized and Torres still has 3 years on his contract which means 30M of his transfer fee still hasn't hit our books so if he's sold this summer that's really 40M for Cavani + 30M for Torres on our books. Although then Cavani's can be amortized but that's still a 30M lump-sum hit on the transfer budget by selling Torres alone.

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.

but the problem is if we dont sell him, we will anyways have to pay 20 mil extra for cavani (which is 4 mil for this year,considering cavani signs for 5 years) + 10 mil of his salary = 14 mil. so we just get 16 mil in losses which does not include how cavani's inclusion AND torres' exclusion would probably mean a couple of places up in PL (probably 1st), fa/carling cup and an extra round or 2 further in CL. so all in all it would not be as big a loss.

It's all well and good proposing this move. But will torres take a wage cut. Sure, we can say you won't get much playing time but he is on 175 a week at the moment. And if torres says no then it doesn't matter what Chelsea and napoli do.

I also hope if we do get cavani the wage isn't in the 250k region as has been suggested as, even if we got rid of torres that would be another 150k more on the wage bill. (jt, match highest earner clause).

This is basically subsidised by the wages that's freed up from him and also the €20m less that we'd be paying Napoli. It'd be interesting if the club would still be able to amortise that £30m fee over 3 years though. But yeah, the mere fact that we have to deal with this is proof that Torres was indeed a horrible, horrible transfer.

Torres does not give a fuck if he is in the world cup squad or if he plays a single game of football again. he has won everything and just wants to stay here another 3 years to get a big payday.
