Thanks Flip. Sounds like he just wanted to try somewhere else, particularly whilst the club were in transition. He may not have felt the from upstairs but he definitely had it from the fans, which is where it should have mattered most.
The money recieved was great, softened the blow but it almost didn't mean much after buying Andy for a very strange £35m.
Can't say I wasn't glad to see him go after his extremely poor couple of years afterwards. Guess that's a good example of a player playing excellent only with a particular style of play.

Come on flip, no need for that. It's not like anyone on here has ever been wrong before. A reputable publisher lists name in same place then it's understandable the confusion. You pointed it out, desolate said he was wrong.

I kinda agree on the fans thing - but its hard when you work for a place where you think the people you deal with day to day see you as a commodity only. Some sympathy with that but ultimately, players are just players. Torres does seem to need a bit of "arm around the shoulder" stuff like so many footballers do.

I think Torres had already faded a bit for us - his head was elsewhere clearly as his performances were no longer the same. That seems to have carried on after he left, whether that was down to different styles of play or just him not really feeling it anymore, who knows (Dalglish seemed to think the latter).

Not of fan if international break but happy it came when it did. We're in as good a position as we could reasonably hope to be.
Anyone thing City will drop points?
I'm the opposite - felt we were building up again after the sAnyone thing City will drop points?

Only place I can see City dropping points is possibly against us and United although I wouldn't bet on us. 
Also can you guys hurry up and finish this volume already. Here's one more, every little helps.
Man City have dropped points/lost against Newcastle, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Chelsea. All mid-table or lower teams. I imagine we'll both drop points against teams that we don't expect to.Also can you guys hurry up and finish this volume already. Here's one more, every little helps.

Wasn't that mostly during their wobble period though? City only tend to have one of those a year if that and they've already had it. They have to playFulham
Cardiff
Brighton
Palace
Spurs
Utd
Burnley
Leicester
Brighton.
Realistically how many of those games do you seem them dropping points on? Even if you won\lost the same number of games you are still behind, they have to lose one more game than you, a draw would be no good as you'd be level on points but down on GD. While I'd prefer LFC to win, I think you blew your chance when you lost your 7 point lead. At the moment I think your only chance is for City to have a longer CL run than you which might effect their league performances.
