Tis right - A senior journo from The Times (who is a big Liverpool fan) was on Talksport this evening with Ian Danta and said this would be a done deal by Monday.

1 in, and one out..

Getting Suarez in to replace isn't exactly bad though is it

If you are replacing Fernando Torres then yes, yes it is.

Blimey.

And he's pretty handy. Can't wait for the next Liverpool v Sunderland game and reunited with Gyan.

Suarez is my hero

To be honest I think Torres is very injury prone and it smacks of very desperate measures by Chelsea if true, also puts them totally at odds with the impending UEFA rules on financing the club.

Good deal for Liverpool though.

I see what your saying. But as someone has pointed out, Torres is injury prone and from recent reports seems to want to see what someone else can offer him. Suarez has said he wants to join Liverpool and be part of the team. It's either an injury-prone unsettled striker, or an interested but slightly worse striker.

And 40m for a striker that was brought for around 20m is very good business for 'Pool.

BOLLOCKS

NO WAY LIVERPOOL WILL SELL TORRES TO CHELSEA.

(UNLESS THEY WANT ELLIOTT BENNETT TO REPLACE HIM)

Why would they sell their best player to a team who are already above them in the league.

Dan Roan has just tweeted...

"Torres has this evening submitted a transfer request which has been rejected"

...sounds a bit familiar.

Possibly but its rather unfair to say he's injury prone I think, He's had a dodgy few seasons to be fair but would say that was slightly harsh. Put it this way, I'd rather have Torres spearheading my attack than Suarez +17m. (Although I do rate the lad to be fair but he is only proven in holland really)

Spot on for me there, Beachy.

Maybe just in Holland but Van Nistelrooy didn't do too bad after being only proven in Holland, neither did Ronaldo, Romario or Ibrahimovic.

Would you be pissed off with those 'desperate measures' at the Falmer?

Would you be pissed off with those 'desperate measures' at the Falmer?

yes if it meant exclusion from European competion

 

[Sussex Nomad]

There is a three year buffer on the European situation... and I don't see a club with finances that Chelsea have as some kind of desperate measure for a 26 year old that is still regarded as one of the best strikers in the world.
