naterose89 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Sorry if there's a topic on this I haven't seen one, but just came across this report written an hour ago! http://www.givemefootball.com/330956-torres-could-be-offered-escape-from-chelsea-to-italy Not sure the merit, but could be interesting,
Uno Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Wow i didnt think anyone would be stupid enough to take him. Please be true.
Guest RFC_CFC Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Wont happen.They don't have the structure to pay anyone £175 grand a week.
Scott Harris Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Wont happen. They don't have the structure to pay anyone £175 grand a week. Yeah i can't see him taking a pay cut. The only team i could see Torres taking a pay cut for is Athletico Madrid.
timetowaste Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I still think he'll do a good job elsewhere. If they are interested we should offer them Torres plus £8mil for Jovetic.
ForeverCarefree Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 If nothing else would the club want the embarrassment of taking such a huge loss on him?
Real_No.9 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 As aposed to the huge embarresment of him turning out for the team each week? Take the loss with open arms and move him on!
Adamrb Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Exactly, fans of other clubs will be secretly gutted when he leaves. Because we'll be playing with a striker
BelgradeCFC Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Bollocks. But swap with Jovetic plus cash would be great.
Castiel Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Yeah i can't see him taking a pay cut. The only team i could see Torres taking a pay cut for is Athletico Madrid. If he thinks somebody is going to pay him £170k a week or anything near it he's delusional. It's either take a paycut or retire.
That Boy Brandinho Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 If nothing else would the club want the embarrassment of taking such a huge loss on him? Surely that's not nearly as embarrassing as continuing on with the likes of Benitez and Torres for another year, no?
dkw Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Quick, someone send them a youtube link that makes him look world class again.
geezer Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Quick, someone send them a youtube link that makes him look world class again. Might need to photoshop it.........
TheWestwayWonder Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 If nothing else would the club want the embarrassment of taking such a huge loss on him? If that is their concern, then theyre screwed. Either CFC take a huge loss on him, or his contract expires while he plays on loan and he moves on for nothing. The only way out would be him going to one of Russia's rich owners or to the directors of Zenit, and trying to arrange some sweetheart deal to spare his blushes. Roman should consider it a tax for being so stupid, myopic, and obsessed with scouse rejects. Oh wait, sorry, I forgot, Carlo wanted Torres originally, right?
TheWestwayWonder Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Anyone who knows Russian football know whats going on with Hulk at Zenit? Are Zenit going to stick with Hulk and Witsel over their fans booing them? If Torres is willing to accept he is finished, maybe we could offer him in exchange for Hulk and solve the problems of two clubs at once. Then again, theyre probably paying Hulk double what Torres makes.
londonblue Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I'm fairly sure torres would be willing to accept a wage cut to leave England. I would say he's probably similar to Balotelli in that he hates the English media and cannot wait to leave.
Damo810 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 If there was a player from Zenit i'd take, it would be Witsel, definitely not Hulk..
Charles Ryder Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 He won't take a pay cut, if he ever does move on his new club will probably stump up about 60% percent of his current wages, and we'll make up the difference. Whether that will be a lump sum or an ongoing payment, I'm not sure, but his agents will make sure he gets every penny that the club legally owe him. He'll be a financial burden for years to come, whether he is here or not. The only question is, will the board persist with him as a football burden or cut him loose. The former is more likely, unless Jose comes in and makes getting rid of him his first order of business.
evissy Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 What about a loan deal? We pay half of the wages they pay half type of deal.
Uno Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 The thing is Torres will most likely have to take a pay cut. IF we turned to him and said you have no place in this team. You either leave or you will never play for us again, he would leave. He is too young to do what Malouda is doing.
Valerie Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 When does Torres' contract end, does anyone know? We're probably not so lucky that it ends this summer?
timetowaste Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 When does Torres' contract end, does anyone know? We're probably not so lucky that it ends this summer? Not for another couple of years I believe. He will take a pay cut to move I have no doubt about that.
