i agree, he should retire also

seeing as torres signing is not a rumour anymore, no more torres talk in this thread!! lets start on who's next! mancini? alves? tevez? milito?

ballague saying we only paid 20M for him! nice oh yeah...sack parry!

heinze would be a great signing and a very clever one. we've all seen how good he is in the premiership and he can also fill in at centre back which is very handy indeed

hope we get at least 6M for him

he he, i bet on him to be top scorer at 12/1 on paddy power last week, so it better go through!

is he not a west ham player now? after the investgation didnt they transfer ownership of him to west ham cause its illegal for a 3rd party to own a player?

maybe the delay in signing benayoun is cause were negotiating a double deal for him and tevez!

i disagree with that. obviously tevez and torres would be magnificent. but if we get torres then wide players are definate priority. if we get quality wide players we dont need tevez. lets not forget that in courch and kuyt we have proven premiership goalscorers and with proper service they and torres will score more than enough. if we have torres and tevez with no regular decent service from the flanks its a bit pointless really

from as.com FORLÃN: "IF I GO TO THE ATHLETIC ONE IT WILL NOT BE LIKE SUBSTITUTE OF TOWERS" The Uruguayan forward, who is in Venezuela disputing with his selection the America Glass, has indicated that, his his took shape happens to the Athletic one of Madrid, would try to do just like it did in his previous clubs without being the substitute of anybody. Diego Forlán, Uruguayan forward of the Villarreal, assured that if finally his draftee by the Athletic one of Madrid takes shape he would not go like the substitute of Fernando Towers, in case the Spanish forward leaves the Madrilenian club. "I know that I have many fiancèes and I do not know if I am going to go there, but if it go would not be to replace to Towers but to play soccer. We are different players and people at different moments. If I go I will try to continue doing what I did in Manchester and Villarreal ", indicated in declarations to Point Radio from Venezuela.

210 people on this thread alone. all awaiting some sort of breaking news. i pity all our employers!

with this whole fans revolt, he may have a crisis of consience and to a gerrard on it.

cant believe people dont rate riise, or would be happy to see him go. the guy is a class act. he doesnt get half the credit he deserves. he works his socks off, defends well, attacks well and scores goals. i can tell you one thing for certain, if roberto carlos was banging in the goals that riise does on a far more regular basis, hed be worshipped

all quiet on the torres front today?

funny thing about that BBC thing is that its the first time they've posted anything relating to the torres story as far as i can remember.

so its not a 'done deal' in the literal sense then? but you have word thats its likely in the coming days?

so cobs is winding us up then i take it?

exactly. if i was prentice's boss i'd be seriously questioning his value. blatant copying off another like that is a serious no no, in my profession i'd be lose my job if i did that

source? or are you winding us up

hmmmm, the longer this drags on, the less likely it will become that he will leave. although in those quotes he definately hasnt said torres is staying. to me it sounds like hes posturing for the full amount of cash which he is entitled to do. but i've gone from torres being almost nailed on to having more and more doubts as the days go on. thankfully we have had no quotes from the player himself saying he is staying, and no quotes from rafa saying we arent signing him

From F365 Spot The Difference Opened Adam Fraser's opinion piece on Alan Shearer, published on Football365 on June 20: 'As a footballer, Alan Shearer played his cards close to his chest. Closer than his elbows, anyway.' Opened David Prentice's opinion piece on Alan Shearer, published in the Liverpool Echo on June 22: 'As a player, Alan Shearer kept his cards close to his chest. A lot closer than his elbows, anyway.' Having read the rest of both articles (or, more correctly, the same one twice) Mediawatch feels it should pass on the same message our teachers were so keen to beat into us in school: changing one word in every five is still copying, David.

you've just written the tabloid headline once he gets injured!

From this mornings AS, sounds like athletico would fancy cisse BENÃTEZ WILL OFFER To CISSÉ TO LOWER THE PRICE OF To TOWERS If one goes away Towers, the Athletic one will fichará a forward of first level. The favourite is Forlán, but the Liverpool has put on the table the name of Djibril Cissé, that is younger, pleases the same and would cost much less, thus letting more money to contract Quaresma and another end. To the Liverpool enemies in their offensive leave to him throughout to file to Fernando Towers. First the one was the Arsenal that was added to bids up it, thinking about the Boy to replace Henry, and diverse English newspapers informed yesterday into which the Manchester United, immersed in a buying vortex, also wants to take to the forward of the Athletic one. So to Rafa Benítez the plan is had to him complicated. The departure amounts are clear for all the players: 40 million of the clause, although four of them would correspond to Towers and all the parts agree in which the operation would be closed by 36. To start off of here, each pretendiente will try to sweeten its supply with players and there the Liverpool can have found its ace in Djibril Cissé. Rick Parry, executive director of reds and that will take the negotiation by English part, will offer to the French to lower the price of the operation and to the Athletic one it interests much this option to him. Tried. Cissé is an old dream rojiblanco, to which Toni Muñoz already tried to file in the summer of 2004. But that race gained the Liverpool, that international French paid to 21 million to the Auxerre by fortísimo. Although its race in Anfield began very well, the injuries were fattened with Cissé from then. In October of 2004, an entrance of the defense of the Blackburn James McEveley fractured the tibia and peroné to him of the left leg. It took eight months in returning to play, but it gave time him to be the maximum goleador of France in the phase of classification for World-wide the 2006 and entered the definitive list for Germany. , friendly nevertheless in the last previous to the match, the Chinese Zheng Zhi again left to the tibia and peroné to him, although this time of the right leg. Other six months in the drydock. It returned in December, yielded by the Liverpool to the Olympique of Marseilles, where it has rendered at a great level and it has already returned to the selection. The Athletic one is not worried about the medical file of Cissé, since their two injuries arrived in entered footpaths hard and they do not imply a natural propensity to injure itself. In addition, on the verge of turning 26 years and with a privileged physicist, its recovery has been perfect. The Liverpool, with which it has contract until 2009, has appraised to him in 9 million euros and the Bolton seemed near closing its draftee, but this operation has been stopped to expenses of which it happens this week in the negotiation by Fernando Towers. In fact, the Liverpool has given instructionses to Cissé so that their representatives put themselves in contact the sooner with the Athletic one to know if the project rojiblanco is of its affability and to show their interest in saturating in the Manzanares. While, the Manchester follows on the lookout. So far, Ferguson is trying to place to three of its forwards, Alan Smith, Beppe Rossi and Louis Saha, to make box and to file nine of first level that accompanies Rooney. His favourite is Towers and tells on the advantage that, in an economic situation privileged person, would go ahead with the money. Nevertheless, the irruption of Cissé in culebrón gives life him to the Liverpool, that continues being the candidate number one to take to the Boy.
