Topic: Torres' anger at knee injury fuck up, missing Atleti games and threat to WC

[rossipersiempre]

Sorry J, i know you've locked the other thread but something for the night owls and colonies to chew over...

I've just been reliably informed that this - the topic title - has been cited internally as a catalyst behind the decision, but don't know any more than that. If true, then thank you Doc Fucking Waller.

To me, this at least sheds some light and suggests all may not be lost.

How? He's submitted a transfer request, there's no way back.

[Walshy®]

What I don't get, is even if that is true, how can he hold it against the club now, with different owners?

Does he have a grudge against playing staff?  That would explain more.

[Walshy®]

Gerrard did the same, he found a way back.  So has Rooney.

[Cpt_Reina]

Nando wants to look back and have some trophies to show for his club career? Fine, go and chase them. But his legacy could have been so much more, he could have transcended the success that medal's bring. He could've had his flag on the Kop and song sung long after he'd retired. He could've had a permanent place in our history.

Lets see how loved those plastic quiet fans make you, how much you'll be remembered by them, or us when you're done Nando.

No way around it, he will regret this. And I hope it haunts him.

[snowlion]

I thought we got rid of H & G.  But they keep on coming back to life ...

[rushyman]

Daft. Again

Think we should all just get a book out or go to bed or something till tomorrow

[Rotation]

Gerrard did the same, he found a way back.  So has Rooney.

Gerrard won us a European Cup. And he pulled back the request himself.

[Aristotle]

Does he have a grudge against playing staff?  That would explain more.

Been thinking that as well. "A him/them or me" scenario wouldn't be the first in history.

[OneTouchFooty]

How can he hold that against us, the fans? Or the new owners? I can't wait to hear the shite excuse he comes out with.

No. Way. Back.

[Breitner]

Isn't this just from that Chaffeur story bollocks from a few weeks ago?

Nothing can justify leaving us in the lurch in January and going to that shower, nothing.

[JWAlonso]

Been thinking that as well. "A him/them or me" scenario wouldn't be the first in history.

Didn't Rafa get rid off the medical staff that said he was fit to play, but he still had an injury?

[AriGold]

Pathetic fucking excuse.

Lock this shit.

[davidg]

120 grand a week, fucking boohoo.

[Schmidt]

So he's getting back at the doctor who's left the club and the owners who don't own it any more?

Cheers Torres.

[Trada]

What I hate more than anything Torres seemed  to have timed this at the right time to hurt the fans the best he could.

Nando what did we do so wrong apart from getting right behind you?

[rowan_d]

All of his hot air and bullshit about loyalty, respect for the fans and love for the club. Nothing more than propaganda for the El Nino brand, to sell a few more fucking shirts. Bet he's been laughing at us lapping it up for 3 and a half years. Would rather see Ngog play against Stoke to be honest. Disgusted with him. Want to leave? Fine. With 3 days left? Piss off. To Chelsea? Fuck right off. And he can shove his shit excuses up his arse

[Walshy®]

Been thinking that as well. "A him/them or me" scenario wouldn't be the first in history.

All the rumours of him and Pepe falling out with "some" players for the way they treated rafa might not be as far off as some others might think.  It's what I'm leaning to.

If he wanted out of the club and it was irreversable even with new owners, and now Kenny, why not hand his request in as soon as the window opened, to make sure he left? Why wait this long?

Also if he had a problem with the previous owners, why not leave in the summer?

Something is fishy, and whatever it is, it is about to leave me heartbroken.

[Chakan]

All under different medical staff and owners and CEO? Still comes back to my original question this was the reason why dind't he leave at the start of the season?

[Magic8Ball]

initially it seemed Torres blamed Rafa for that. Now it's clear (with Rafa going on record to say he was lied to), that G and H were to blame. Torres clearly doesn't trust the club so much now. That and the need for trophies and CL football has prompted this request IMO.

[TOMMO86]

Torres Did not want NESV.

[PJG]

I remember him saying that his best mate at Liverpool was Benayoun and he was certainly pissed off when he left Liverpool

[filopastry]

None of which would explain why he would want ot leave now though, I'd have thought any of those factors would have been a lot fresher in his mind last summer.

[Biffo]

He may well regeret it it many years from now, but hes has been messed about by the club. Given promises from the owners (previous I might add) that ever materialised. Basically lied too. He is a World Superstar and he has been here for 3.5 years and won jack. Who can blame him? Not me.

Leave now, give us plenty of money in return, stop Manure from winning the League & Champions League and show eveyone that it was the formation of football that you were forced to play in that resulted in people thinking you werent World Class.

Nando, you have been fantastic, adios amigo.... roll on the next superstar!

[PIPA23]

He´s just a striker, long life atletico supporter, who could not play for other Spanish team and who thought he will win trophys here after we won CL in 2005 so he moved here....big factor was Benitez being here... we have to move on and we have to praise players who would not betray us....like Kuyt for example...

[Mr_Miyagi]

Fucking hell, here come the excuses for him.

[rafathegaffa83]

Thought the same. But if he wanted to leave, surely it would have been more sensible for his advisors to tell him to wait until the end of the season and leave in a professional manner. 

[bam09]

Well if missing games because he's injured(all be it because of an incompetent doc who has been replaced), I wonder how he'll take missing games because Ancelotti doesn't feel like playing him.

[Jellies]

You can't seriously blame a doctor who isn't even here anymore Rossi? And it still doesn't explain why now?

[Citizen Kane]

I have a feeling this could be a tool for a pay rise, we have seen Rooney do it recently and we all know Torres will have only 2 years on his contract by the summer. Maybe his agent has told him this is the best way to get that new contract.

If those are the reasons, as stated in the title, then it seems to me to be pretty out of order. We are under new management and new ownership. I feel betrayed if I'm honest. If he goes there, as Cpt_Reina said, let's see how those plastic flag waving t***s treat him and I hope the realisation that he turned his back on something a lot bigger here.

[Capon Debaser]

He said he'd honour his fucking contract on the 9th,whats changed since then ?

[SadRed]

No way back. If you are disgruntled come out and clarify the truth. This is just a ridiculous thing to do.

[Schmidt]

Torres Did not want NESV.

I'm curious, what exactly would Torres know about them that could put him off them owning the club?

[Walshy®]

Yep, it's as baffling as it is horrible to comprehend, him in that atrocious blue shirt.

[andymanlfc]

Maybe Suarez should get the number 9 shirt just to basically put our middle fingers up and Torres!

[Albert]

Do me a favour what load of nonsense. If he loved atleti as much as he claims he would never have left them and worn another clubs armband namely ours during their games I mean how disrespectful is that. We all got took in by it like the desperate fools we were. Well just remember "what they'll do with you they'll do to you " as many a betrayed partner has found out over the years. Chelsea will be the next taken for a ride and who would bet against this disloyal twit ending up at real Madrid one day with the rent boys taken off a ride and left in tears. U see the only thing fernando really loves is well fernando. Goodbye rent boy u should make killing in London if u dye ur hair again

[liverpooll]

The problem about Torres which makes him even different from the other cases is that he was in the whole time just waiting. Waiting in a hope for a good team to come and get him. So it is fair to say this has been the case for the last 6 months

[gallden]

Torres Did not want NESV.

He wanted a sugar daddy?

[alonsoisared]

With the attitude he's had on him since the last few months of Benitez, if he fucks off now we might just be better off without him anyway. What we wanted under Kenny was unity, if he can't be fucked and is holding a grudge and wants to leave, then fuck him, see you later and we'll keep building for the future with players that want to be here.

[alex.]

I'm curious, what exactly would Torres know about them that could put him off them owning the club?

It sounds like he wanted an Abramovich/Mansour type owner.
