Not sure if its been posted or not, but this is Nando at training today. Perhaps his last. http://yfrog.com/gz96420016j Gut wrenching, that.

Would prefer if we kept him until the summer at least. Far too late to replace him right now, and we're pretty much back to square 1 with one top striker and one measly inadequate backup.

Were people not expecting this? After all the talk today this was the next step.

Think we've crossed wires here - im definitely not saying you should be criticising Torres at every opportunity, far from it in fact.. What I do think is that there is equally no point in living in denial because all the hype right now points to something happening.

im going a bit bonkers with the amount of replies, but posts like yours are totally ridiculous. All this "I reserve the right...." rubbish.....basically happy to slag him even before hes left the club on the basis you can say as you please but youll be back to loving him if he stays? Oh so childish and so daft. I'd love to know how he himself is accountable for us not winning trophies He was part of the squad yeah, but been our top player since hes been. Short term memory ftw. Ridiculous on so many levels.

He'd go to Chelsea because its very much his only option.

You know.....the reputable Tony Barrett propping up the story, the numerous different journos here who are close to the club going with it, the numerous sources close to spain and Torres going with it.....all that.Far too much hype now for this not to be happening. Far too much. So unless he has a change of heart hes off.

What? Youre being stupid here. All the evidence points to him wanting to leave, I dont know how you can deny that just because the club havent popped out to say anything yet. So yea, dont be a d****ead. Thanks.

I agree. The best idea is to put our fingers in our ears and our heads in the sand. Its probably happening tbh. Oh and Martins? No thanks.

So how much of this transfer can we blame on Roy?

still not enough like, but prob not as bad as you thought.

exchange rate aint what it used tobe remember. thats £43M

well he was hardly going to wear a bloody chelsea kit was he? clubs PR probably got on the phone and asked him to throw the scarf on for a few shots. anywya, we shouldnt budge for less than £50M. I think its fair to say the guy would at least try in games if we kept him until the end of the season. £40M my a***.

did chelsea bid before the past few days though? i dont think they had. dont want to sit here and criticise torres for wanting the move - his motives, although sad from the clubs point of view, are kind of understandable. But to do it like this at a club he supports where all the fans would sacrafice a goat for him :\ I am actually sitting here feeling very disappointed.

Gerrard will never be on the right. We'll probably fluctuate between a 442 and a 433/451 as appropriate, with 451/433 the preference for the big games. wouldnt be surprised if we see the front three rotating with a high intensity pressing from the middle one.

Thats a mugs view tbh. Do i need to expand on that?

Haha torres in decline :D:D:D I see people arent slow in getting the digs in,even before hes left. someone save those posts for the epic turnaround in opinions if he ends up staying.

"what price loyalty?" sounds very much like an "Im Ron Bugundy..........?" moment.

but you are a woman?

Does his sister look like him? If so, I fear for young Jonjo.

You'd think that given his history but I'm yet to see him put in a performance for us yet.

Dont know why people are very happy with this Yes, after a shaky first game hes been solid, but hes still not a LB and shouldnt be considered as so. No way.

made this point on the last page. sky bsically said it wasnt the linesman incident that got hi sacked but poor treatment of a work colleague. but it seems that treatment is commonplace in the skysports studio whichs begs the questions a) why only act now on something that probably didnt go down well? and b) why not sack him earlier?

Would just to point out that I told you all Raul would come good. Have it *More pleased hes came good than me saying he would and being right btw.

Cheers fellas
