This is Edward here, hacking into my wife's account! I still want and need a break from this place but I have had some serious, serious information regarding Torres, by people inside the club.
1) Chelsea and Man city HAVE BOTH made a bid of £70m for Torres. Torres will only leave liverpool this season for a CL team so he will no go to city.
2) I have heard it from those people and they aren't from the internet, they hardly visit football sites, that Chelsea are really tempting Liverpool with an amazing offer.
3) Abramovich has held talks with Christian Purslow and whilst nothing definite happened, Roman was quite happy at the end of the meeting.
4) He sees Torres as the Marquee signing for Chelsea in their pursuit for european success, and will do what it takes to get him. Therefore Rafa has told Purslow to see if Zhirkov, Kalou and Anelka can be part of the deal PLUS the £70m. When Purslow came back from the meeting from Roman, Rafa was surprised at the answer he received as Roman is willing to throw in those players and £70m for Torres.
5) Roman is willing to give £70m and £20m worth of players for Torres as he wants to not only get the player for the sake of improving chelsea but show off to the world that chelsea can still compete for the big names.
6) Torres wants to stay in england. The only clubs he'd leave england for are Barcelona and the big 3 in italy. If Ancelotti can add a few spanish players to that squad then Torres would be interested - so I've been told.
7) My friend told me there is 25% chance torres and rafa being here next season. Torres believes rafa has subtly put doubts in liverpool supporters minds about torres commitment and passion for liverpool. Make no mistake if Liverpool were in the CL next season Torres wouldn't contemplate leaving.
8) Can I tell you how much Rafa/new manager has to spend in the summer with no player sales? £7.6m pounds.......
Ok im outta here time end of may, i will be up until 12 tonight if people have questions on this though.
