Fernando Torres

The People have sensationally claimed this morning that Manchester City are preparing a sensational summer move for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres .

Reports of Torres’ departure from Liverpool are seemingly reported every Sunday in the tabloids, and today is no different.

Manchester City have reportedly prepared a bid that will smash the world transfer record to sign Torres, and add that if the Liverpool hitman moves to Eastlands he will earn a £200,000-a-week salary.

New Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has impressed the club’s hierarchy and if he guides them into the Champions League will be rewarded with a “blockbuster signing.”

Earlier this season Rafa Benitez publicly proclaimed he would leave Liverpool if Torres was sold from under him.

El Nino is currently recovering from a knee operation that will likely keep him out for another month at least.

This season Torres has scored has scored 12 goals for Liverpool in 19 appearances in the Premier League and Champions League.

who makes this shit up
bluemoon,January 24, 2010
With the way our season is going it wouldn't suprise me to see Torres and Gerrard go to balance our books after all the waste of money buys the so called manager keeps making. the only people with a smile are the far easten bookies who make their living on match fixing. No new ground no money RIP LIVERPOOL FC.

Have you seen the new Manc City strip its a tea towl on your head and a skirt over pyjamas in pale blue :)
Calm Down!!!!,January 24, 2010
The point being missed is that Liverpool will finish 4th and be in CL, whereas City will be in Europa League - why then would he leave - not for money, as he is on less at LFC than he was at AM. Utter rubbish.
Peter Jones,January 24, 2010
you say Liverpool will make the Champs League without Torres for the next 6 weeks can't see us getting the points without his skill. Gerrard is no striker yes we need his goals but Liverpool need another top draw striker trouble is the boss only seems to like pricey spanards who we can not afford
Calm Down!!!!,January 24, 2010
£50 million for 5 years I think he will go before going back to a warmer climate Robinho will be out the door by the summer looks like a clear cut replacement who can score in the best league in the world
Calm Down!!!!,January 24, 2010
Although I doubt Torrs would come to city, why do all you reds (Liverpool and Man U always get pety and slagging off city. These are comments from some presumptious bigot who has nothing else to write. Saying that, every player wants to achieve something and with Rafa in charge at LFC I doubt whether Torres will get it with you. You need to get rid of the spanish waiter as soon as possible!!! As for Man U, the writing is on the wall, they are not the team they were and the writing has been on the wall for a long time. They could not afford Teves....Fact!!! They got £80m plus for the winker and replaced him with some 2nd rater from Wigan. We should all rejoice in the falling of Man U and old red nose should do the honourable thing and retire!

100 million?! Take it... Torres is fantastic but how many games has he actually played in the last 2 seasons? A lot time in the medical room. I's take the 100 million and go shopping, but wouldn't take a penny less.

u knew it makes me laugh torres has a arm band saying you ll never walk alone . city "buy" teves a armband saying you ll never waik around salford alone??????????????????????????????????????????????? money can't buy u love or class
carl red1,January 24, 2010
@Die hard blue....
tht 2nd grader frm WIGAN is F∗∗kin up defences in BPL...easily the most consistent player at united with evra n rooney this season........btw the day CITY surpasses united in the league we'll talk, till then keep it down prick!
Die hard devil,January 24, 2010
@die hard devil......why do you have to lower yourself to writing obscenities??? You do make yourself foolish!! If Rooney gets injured or suspended the you will slip away from the title race. Dominance does not last forever.......just ask Liverpool. Most United fans think its their god given right to be better than anyone else. At least Mancini was honest today and said that Scunthorpe were as good as us in the first half, if that had been old red nose he would have made excuses. And devil, what about his claim to continue playing his reserves in the cup..........ha ha don't make me laugh. He is worried, you are worried, in fact all Man U fans need to be worried! You have had it good for to long, the rivers are running blue in Manchester and you can start look over with envy from the city of Salford. You see....you can get your point across without being childish swear words!!! Now pick your teddies up from the corner of the room and face reality.....I know this is hard for you. As for valencia....he's up there with Ronaldo........not!!!! Wake up and smell the coffee and calm down before you get chest pains!!!

i love the fact that red team fans are getting scared enough to take time out and make comments about the blue teams! give yourselves a rest about whats going on around you and calling man city, and be more concerned about what your own team is doing. I'm a blue and don't like what the Americans are doing to are English clubs, but for once the balance of power in the league is shifting so looking at some of your comments its looking like your all scared of man city's new found power. love it, i really love it ..
i love city,January 24, 2010
y would we want someone who is going thru knee surgery.. who knows how he will be next season
gman,January 25, 2010
@Die hard blue....dont u ppl ever get tired of talkin useless shit, it was the same when ronaldo was there...beckham left we made ronaldo, ronaldo left we made rooney....so get it thorugh ur head this club has a reputation of makin stars n it sure is livin up to it...!!!...if rooney leaves, it wud be just the matter of time before we MAKE a new one!...n btw manchester always bled blue n red equally, but only colour tht lasts worlwide frm manchester is red..!!...n envy u???....whos 18 time domestic champ, WE ARE....whos 2 time european champion, WE ARE....not city...get ur stats n facts right mate!
Die hard devil,January 25, 2010
@Die Hard Red.....yet again you miss the point and get lost in your own red mist. I am not argueing fact....because you can't. The facts now are United are in decline, Everton "made" Rooney not United. Anyway, you really are boring me know with your pointless ranting......cant wait for tonight......red nose blowing his top and then claiming it is good united are out of the cup because they can then concentrate on the league. HO HO HO that bloke is priceless.
Die Hard Blue,January 27, 2010
Unlike robinho,he won't consider man c even for 500 million.
He should leave liverpool. I am sure he will his reconsider changing old principle and go back to spain.
Who won't want him? Barca or madrid should be his choice.
