I think rationally, Torres had echoed about BIG SIGNINGS since the last probably 24 months and here we are haven't signed anything really big, except for the 'revival' of Poulsen and Meireles. Not sure about Konchensky.
BUt even if Torres wrote this NOT KNOWING SUAREZ is coming in, it still not something we can easily overlook.
I suspect the sudden change of tone from below 15M to almost immediate agreement of 22.5M for Suarez was because the club hit the 'red alert button' after being told that Liverpool F.C received Torres' transfer request.
Now we have Torres and Suarez, let's see how it goes.
If Suarez is a proven goalscorer, then Torres has to go. Alot of folks in RAWK are unhappy, and suddenly now people are now lining up behind Pepe Reina about loyalty. Probably Pepe could convince Torres for abit, since they're neighbours after all.

Rafa, if you're reading this... COnvince Torres.
i agree & share your sentiments. Torres & even gerrard had pointed the need off on big signings under Gilette &Hicks but they did noting (no players in, just f*rking hot air of a new stadium), then comes roy p hougson who sanctioned some mid-table players & tried to
incept mediocreness into LFc playing & setting low low standards for us to achieve. I understands his dissapointments (Its exactly whats in alonso's mind & marcherano as they saw what thee f*rking cowboys did.
selling torres is not what LFc should & will do. there is a crisis in torres head, what was his beloved team been tore apart by people who don't know football (which shd be all past now since new owners + KD is in the framework)
i will see how this plays out. Deep inside I believe he in 2 minds unlike MO. i'm sorry to drag that name but I'm drawing a parallel here. Torres is in the company of players who is assembled of the best of the best hence the world cup, the champion league & if we continue to drag ourselve to sign top notch players & have a mentality of seeking more 'Konchensky' then we shd forget the business of being in the top 4.
I believe more of those who were pro-rafa camp fans are the ones who feel torres should not be sold. torres , gerrard & pepe represents more than money to liverpool.
THEY are "staunch" liverpoolfc at heart, removing (or selling) any of them (now) is akin a stab into the heart. though i see vultures (some from the camps of another red & some blue coming here, pouring more fuel that LFc shd cash in). kayNN
yes rafa's halftime rally in 2005 is much in need again. Probably rafa will call KD to give him some spainish proverb to untwist torres's mind.
