You spent £24 million on a 28 year old with 1 year left on his contract...
It's a fun league with colorful personalities.
Example:
Fiorentina's owners, the Della Valle brothers, they even look like Micky Mouse villains.
Wooden will show you Maurizio Zamparini and De Laurentiis later.
If he does go to Chelsea then I'd be really intrigued to see what happens to Torres. I'd imagine he'd want out, surely, especially given his outcry in the summer, but how much would Chelsea demand for him?
I would love us to drop in a cheeky £10 million bid and bring him home, ala Rush. Obviously he's a much different player, but I think he'd get some decent service in our system.

Would probably try and get a deal going with Atletico Madrid to bring down Falcaos price a little, doubt Chelsea would sell Torres back to Liverpool. But yeah, he needs to go, he's a moody little bitch when there's any competition up front, if you can't take the heat or even perform half decently with Mata, Hazard and Oscar behind you, please go.

Torres would be Huntelaar's sub then.

How long does it take you guys to get over bad losses, bad decisions etc?
I'll be pissed off until I wake up on Tuesday afternoon I reckon

That actually makes the most sense, and I think it's time for Torres to head back to Spain to be honest.

If you're mad now, only God knows how mad you'll be when RVP scores a hat-trick next weekend
Until the next game. I'm still frustrated we didn't beat the mags though.
Maybe, maybe not. I think there is a point to be made that Henry, Vieira, Pires, etc. weren't the players they became when they first arrived. Nasri, Sagna, Flamini, Adebayor too. The problem is all those players had a basis to work from, so those players could develop without being relied on. Now, those developing players are the key players, and the back-ups are youth-teamers and players that either aren't good enough yet, or will never be good enough. Even if players like Giroud and Gervinho are good enough, you can't just expect them to settle into the team right away—certainly not with a huge amount of pressure on them.
Imo, this is more the cumulation of years and years of decay (not replacing Flamini, then not replacing Adebayor, then not replacing Gallas and Kolo Toure, and not replacing Clichy/Fabregas/Nasri, etc.), not necessarily because of where we buy our players.

lol Atletico isn't lowering down the price of Falcao for sorry ass Torres
That dude isn't even 30 and he's already washed up. Send him to Bayern

Liverpool went to shit when Rafa stopped buying from Spain, oddly
@Andres, QPR is where the washed up players reside
I get really sour in the heat of the moment (as you all could see), but it usually only lasts for a day or two, unless it's a very significant loss.
But today was a travesty, I'll tell you that.
The worst thing about Wengers scouting of Ligue 1 is that he isn't having success anymore with his signings.
He scouted a 16 year old Hazard but never even made an approach to sign him. Five years later and Hazard is one of the most exciting talents in Europe and Arsenal are left with Giroud.

I'm a bitter person, it can take weeks with Copenhagen.
Eh I wouldn't be that sure. If Falcaos release clause is around 50mil there's nothing they can really do about Chelsea signing him and would it really be that crazy to think they would want their former captain back for fairly cheap?

Doesnt Torres have a ridiculous wage though?
I'd rather Atletico buy Jackson Martinez tbh
bigger, stronger, faster, younger...

If they expected Torres to come within 100 miles of replacing Falcao, it'd be a clear case of letting their hearts rule their heads
He was absolutely terrible today. Dribbling into players, first touch getting away from him, acceleration completely gone, failing to get into the box, passing was off, decision-making too slow
Usually till the day before the next game. My current doom and gloom mood has already been noted by my family.

Yeah he does, but maybe he would be willing to go down in wage when he gets the choice between that or the bench, which he has already had quite a bit of. Falcao got pretty huge wages too though, doesn't he? Atletico Madrid is such a terrible run club that it wouldn't be surprising if they spent a hell lot of money on Torres wages.

Apparently Hernandez had a chair thrown at him
Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals
Should have put money on this fuuuuu
Since the football games are on early over here its usually the day of when I spend the rest of the day drinking.
Afer isn't a typo.
Well, it was a typo initially.

Whoever threw it should be fined, for missing.
I even fixed it, but then the old version was picked to put Wilburys face on.
I'd think Torres has enough money that he'd be willing to take a wage cut for his boyhood club. And if not, he's still a big enough name (if not necessarily that good of a player) that I'm sure whatever third party helped out with the Falcao deal would be willing to subsidize those wages, should a deal come to pass.
Yeah; it's interesting to see what the dynamic is between Wenger and the board regarding who signs what. I mean, Wenger was a huge admirer of Cazorla but didn't move for him last summer. Missed out on Mata for a couple million pounds. The whole club seems to have no coherent policy for what it's doing regarding transfers, besides selling off our best players every summer.

Giovani trying to be cheeky and failing. :/

That's fucking ridiculous.
Suarez had a coin thrown at him today and he put it in his boot. I enjoyed that.
And in the transfer windw they were the 6th highest spenders in Europe. £33m iirc.
