    I can only dream. What about Torres back on loan till the end of the season? Only marginally quicker than Lambo nowadays though.

    We'll sell Coutinho and Sturridge so that we can fund a £20m over-the-odds bid.

    Please god no. He's scored 1 goal this season, has been absolute ****e since leaving us what's the ****ing point. We've already got 2 strikers who can't ****ing score (plus an OAP) why add another who doesn't know where the net is anymore?

    I'd rather have a youngster who will come good in a few years than the ladyboy back.

    Hum interesting.

    Mate of mine just pointed out that the tweet is incorrect - in the fact he is still at Chelsea, we wouldn't be loaning him from Ac <ok>

    Yeah I've read a little of what Carra has said.

    But hey he's not their anymore.

    Who knows what Rodgers and co are thinking/planning.

    Can I say that it is actually illegal for a player to have two different loans in one season

    This is why atletico want him on a free permenantly


    Also for the record resigning Torres for me is a sackable offense

    Might have to give up on football if we resign Torres.

    We need another player with actual end product... Not more flashy, tricky inverted wingers or CAMs. Someone like oh... Loic Remy... Remember him?

  13. No it isn't, happens all the time with youngsters at lower league clubs. The ruling as far as I am aware is they are only allowed to be registered to play for a maximum of three clubs in a twelve month period (may be within a season though). However, they are only allowed to play for two. So far, Torres has been with Chelsea and Milan so he is allowed one more. If the ruling is per season then Torres hasn't played for Chelsea.

    Being a free agent won't make any difference to this ruling.

  14. Torres' movement for Chelsea in the last couple of seasons was very good, he just lacked the finishing. He's not as pacey as used to be, nor does he have that explosive acceleration anymore. However, he's still quicker than Mario, Rickie and Fabio and wouldn't score any less either. He would offer work ethic and movement as well so IMO, he's a better fit for us than those three.

    As I said on the match thread to Bow, I don't want Torres because I want us to aim higher but if we lack money or options and its Torres or nothing, I'd take him. Roll the dice and see what happens. If it only a loan until May then it won't hurt, especially since our season is ****ed anyway. If it did work out, Chelsea want rid so we may get him cheap. If it didn't work out we say thanks but no thanks.

    For me, it would be a GK straight away. Test BVB over Bender to have a proper CDM since BR seems to think Emre Can can't do it ( although I think he can). I see the striker issue but we do have Origi out there so need to be careful. Realisitcally though, we have three strikers in Origi, Balo, and Sturridge who are unknown, not performing, injured. I am not really counting Lambert and Borini, just not the quality, not good enough simple as that.

    Shaquiri would be good, Lacazette would be good but then you run the risk of two many strikers ( just Origi, Balo, and Studge). Think Firmino would be good as he can play the no.10 or wide.

    Just think we need the players that can come in now, that know how to/want to press high, and have quality.

    At the end of the day though....... will they trust BR with the money?

    No such thing as too many... Not when the inevitable taking of a bath in terms of losing on balotelli will occur

    Origi has been muck this year so.....

    Borini is next to gone

    Realistically we've one player and he is injured so we need badly, the whole world can see that.

    Shaqiri, Firmino, Lacazette - all quality players that we should have been targeting. Instead, we ended up with Lallana, Lambert and Balotelli.

    Well here is the thing. We are where we are and no amount of saying the mistakes will change it

    What is needed is change now. If lfc don't sign a gk and a striker this January... And early we will know fsg and Ayre have not backed Rodgers

    It's clear to me that Rodgers has painted himself into a must buy in both positions.

    After that someone's got to just make the best of what is left.

    You know that we are **** defensively but you know that we are actually in half decent touch right now with the 11 Rodgers is putting out and yet another Rodgers system

    So.....

    Add for example cech, Jackson Martinez and sturridge back in we might pick up.... But we will see what really happens

    Torres?

    Surely not? <laugh>

    If you wanted to sign a washed up ex-kopite striker you'd be better off signing this lad.
