Following this evening’s draw with Grasshoppers of Zurich, Roy Hodgson was quizzed about the future of key Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.
Hodson revealed that:
“Christian Purslow has been talking to Fernando Torres for the last two days so I think there has probably been lots of words from Fernando Torres but I haven’t actually spoken to him,”
Its obvious to the Word and his wife that Torres is seriously concerned about his future at Liverpool,
he saw the club have its worst season in several years last season.
The fact that we have a new manager should encourage him, as should the signing of Joe Cole from Chelsea and the commitment to his future at Liverpool by talisman Steven Gerrard.
It is alarming that these talks between our MD Christian Purslow are dragging on into a third day.
Either you want to play for Liverpool or you don’t.
I can understand Torres wishing for proper investment in players for the club, I also understand that while he spend years playing for a mid-table club in Athletico Madrid with little success, he is desperate for silverware and titles at club level.
However, I hope when he draped the Liverpool flag over his shoulders when recieving the World Cup that his commitment to the Liverpool cause was, and is genuine.
