Please say Madrid

Strange if they are as they are both facing different directions. Also the Kop on the second image looks two tiered.

Pipe down. Radio City are notoriously sh*te and are just rewording the BBC article.

Hardly part of the spine either. What about Agger?

I'd be very surprised if we waited another 2 weeks to get things moving. The fact he's on holiday means f*ck all

You're right. The headline from the main BBC News site is "Reds close in on Torres"

At last something concrete. hopes to land him hang in the balance and talks at a crucial stage suggest we might be losing patience or are ready with a final offer. Expect some classic brinkmanship from Rafa. Hope to God we don't miss out on this one as he'll go to the Mancs imo.

Marca El Atlético baraja a Luis García para la banda A. R. Barbero · Madrid El Atlético de Madrid está tratando de diseñar una plantilla de calidad para aspirar a Europa la próxima temporada. La campaña que acaba de terminar se quedó a las puertas y no está dispuesto a que el año que viene le pase lo mismo. Por eso entre los refuerzos que está barajando tras la incorporación de Raúl García, Abbiati y del luso Diego, aparece el nombre de Luis García, el jugador del Liverpool. El club rojiblanco se está planteando la posibilidad de hacerse con sus servicios para reforzar la banda izquierda, operación que toma cuerpo si tenemos en cuenta que el jugador quiere abandonar el conjunto que dirige Rafa Benítez y retornar a la liga española. Esta operación no tendría nada que ver con la posibilidad de un hipotético traspaso de Fernando Torres al Liverpool como se venía comentando fechas atrás The Athletic deck to Luis Garci'a for the band A.R. Barber · Madrid The Athletic one of Madrid is trying to design a quality group to inhale to Europe the next season. The campaign that finishes finishing had left the doors and it is not arranged to that next year it happens to him the same. For that reason between the reinforcements that Garci'a is shuffling after the incorporation of Raul, Abbiati and of luso Diego, it appears the name of Luis Garci'a, the player of the Liverpool. The club rojiblanco is considering the possibility of taking control of its services to reinforce the left band, operation that body takes if we consider that the player wants to leave the set that directs Rafa Benítez and to return to the Spanish league.This operation would not have anything to do with the possibility of a hypothetical crossing of Fernando Torres the Liverpool as it came back commenting dates yeh alright

Not sure about Bridge but you can add Heinze and Evra to that list as well.

Cheers. Don't think i'll bother watching Scotland.

Lucas and Insua in action, anyone know if it's on TV?

Article in el mundo Looks like a comment piece but seems to suggest there is an offer on the table from us http://www.elmundodeportivo.es/20070626/NO...A337022612.html

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...amp;ito=newsnow Mail reckon Atletico are discussing terms with Cisse. Sounds utter b*llocks to me based on comments yesterday from their boss. If this deal did come of it would seem too good to be true.

Tevez fancies Arsenal http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=4...t+excites+Tevez

What spotted him at Anfield? B*llocks. It doesn't happen and is the most cringeworthy wind up trick of the lot which gets wheeled out every summer.

Seriously, has anyone EVER got it right about a player being at Anfield/Melwood before the press got onto it. Can't remember it ever happening. Particularly not for such a high profile player like Torres, minutes after his boss has said there has been no approach. Why do people do it to themselves?

Erm right, yeh i saw that article earlier but your statement about the spanish press quoting his agent saying we'd struck a deal with Atletico and were now sewing up personal terms confused me...........and still does. Never mind. I hope we get him, but will always be skeptical until its official.

Missed that one. Are you sure? And Alison Rudd hardly said its in the bag.

I think its basically saying we've made tentative enquiries to Torres' availability for a knock down fee, rather than paying his buyout clause. The deal is still some way off.

I remember idiots on here saying the Mancs were a spent force this time last year. People never learn.

Bit of a step down from his last outburst of transfers

Would p*ss myself if all the applications were filled out by oot's

It'll drag and drag imo as Atletico don't want to sell.

Prentice LUIS GARCIA could be the makeweight which convinces Atletico Madrid to part with their skipper, Fernando Torres. As reported in yesterday’s ECHO, 23-year-old Torres has leapt to the top of Rafa Benitez’s summer wish list. But Atletico will not let the striker leave without a £24m buy-out clause in his contract being activated. Liverpool are loathe to pay that kind of cash, but Garcia could be used as a bargaining chip. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT The winger spent one season at the Vicente Calderon, in 2002/03, when he scored nine goals in 30 appearances before moving to Barcelona. Benitez would be reluctant to let Garcia go, despite sporadic appearances last season even before the knee injury which ended his campaign in January. Atletico Madrid have made no fresh comment about Torres’ future following yesterday’s revelation. There are suggestions that a delegation from Anfield was in Madrid yesterday to discuss Torres’ future, but an agreement is not thought to be imminent. The Reds, meanwhile, will not chase up any interest in Charlton striker Darren Bent. Rafa Benitez made a tentative enquiry before West Ham’s unsuccessful £17m bid, but they do not rate the striker in that price bracket.
