Sorry if there's a topic on this I haven't seen one, but just came across this report written an hour ago!

Not sure the merit, but could be interesting,

Wow i didnt think anyone would be stupid enough to take him. Please be true.

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.

I still think he'll do a good job elsewhere. If they are interested we should offer them Torres plus £8mil for Jovetic.

If nothing else would the club want the embarrassment of taking such a huge loss on him?

Can we ship him off via special delivery? 

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!

Exactly, fans of other clubs will be secretly gutted when he leaves. Because we'll be playing with a striker

Bollocks. But swap with Jovetic plus cash would be great.

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.

Surely that's not nearly as embarrassing as continuing on with the likes of Benitez and Torres for another year, no?

Quick, someone send them a youtube link that makes him look world class again.

Might need to photoshop it.........

Might? I think its certain.

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? 

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.

How much is express post in the UK?

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. 

If there was a player from Zenit i'd take, it would be Witsel, definitely not Hulk..

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.

What about a loan deal? We pay half of the wages they pay half type of deal.

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.

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.
