About Torres and Gerrard speaking out about the current owner situation and investing in the squad, Torres has spoken about it to Spanish newspaper AS.
"When asked by Spanish newspaper AS if he would quit Anfield, he said: "It's too soon to talk, I honestly think that we're going to be fourth, but for me Champions League qualification isn't so important.
"The really important thing is that the club makes a big effort and brings in important players, who will improve the quality of the squad.
"We need four or five top-class players to compete, better than we have here, who will make us grit our teeth and do everything we can to try and keep our places.
"Without reinforcements next year we will once again be fighting to be fourth.
"I want to fight next year to win the Premier League, to win the Champions League or the Europa League, but for this there have to be signings.
He added: "There are so many circumstances and so many things that you have to take into account that it is too soon to talk about that. But I have this and three more years of my contract.
"I've left my home and it's clear that I owe Liverpool many things, and I'm very happy here. The fans have treated my like one of their own, but I'm going to think about my future and hopefully it will be here. I think these fans deserve to win.
"Beyond thinking about me, I think the club deserve to get back to winning (trophies), but they know themselves that right now that it's far off.
"The fans are worried about players going, it's a problem when you start to fear that your players are going because you know it's because the club is not moving forward, but I don't think that is going to be the situation here."
To me, that´s a clear message to the owners. They do not want the likes of Torres to leave, as that would greatly reduce their asking price when, yes when, they sell up.
They are morons, but not that dumb.
