Asked if Torres could leave Milan, Mourinho said: “No. He’s on loan for two seasons at Milan. He’s our player but he’s on loan. We have no space. We have no space for players in our list, either in the Champions League or the Premier League. That’s an impossible ‘picture’. But I have to say that nobody from Milan has made contact with us thinking about that possibility, so probably nothing is true. More than possibly, he’s happy at Milan and Milan are happy to have him.”

 
If we had room in the squad, I wouldn't mind him tagging along with us on our way to the league title. Just so he could show his good friend Gerrard what the winners medal looks like. :biggrin:

 
Can't imagine any other player commanding 600 pages worth of interest but on it goes.

Yes, shove it up Gerrard too!

He would not get one, because he would never play enough matches to be eligible for a medal.

Besides he is bad luck we haven't won the League since we signed him

We do have several people on these forums which support other teams, I think they would vote for him to stay. I would too if the tables were reversed

I think the poll was started when Torres was having one of his many "he's back!" moments after his goal against Man City as well.

I actually really rate Gerrard as a player, he is certainly one of the best players there has been to never win a PL medal. He will never win one now, and that's a real pity for him. Had he not been threatened by gangsters etc and come to us, he would have at least two by now.

 
Not good enough to make a 12-man bench. Oh dear  :face_palm:

Don't see him on injury list. Does it mean he has finally retired? Well, I know that's a wishful thinking but one can dream.

Yeah, Torres has been "unlucky" since 2011. But then again what do you expect him to say? He is hardly going to tell the press that they have signed a dud on a two year contract and they now just have to put up with him.

 
I wish I was unlucky enough to be paid £175k a week despite being rubbish at my job. 

 
So Milan unsurprisingly want to end Torres' loan agreement early.

Am I right in thinking that they are stuck with him for 2 years regardless? I cannot fathom why we would ever agree to bring him back so surely they just have to put up with him for the next season and a half?

 
As far as I understand it AC Milan have effectively signed Torres on a free transfer from us but it was done as a loan for whatever reason (FFP reasons would be my guess) and I don't think there is any break clause or the like on the agreement. 

The recent Torres rumours with him being linked with moves back to Liverpool or Atletico Madrid are probably being generated by AC who are trying to drum up some interest in the player because the loan isn't working out like they expected and now they don't want to continue paying the excessive wages of a player they have no intentions of playing (sound familiar?). 

 
Jose has already said it's not going to happen, nothing to worry about. Our books are far too fragile to be accommodating expensive passengers who offer nothing

 
I think its actually just paper talk. As sh*t as Liverpool are up front why would they waste all that money on wages taking Torres back?

Torres will see out this season at least at Milan and then who knows. But as long as someone is paying him, he wont retire.

 
I don't think there's anything in it either but just wanted reassurances that Torres cannot come back if we don't want him to.

I honestly do no want him anywhere near this club ever again. Not even at Cobham for any pre-season stuff. JUST STAY THE F*** AWAY FERNANDO.
