  Chelsea convinced they can land £60M Liverpool ace Torres

  

  
  

  Chelsea are ready to offer £60 million for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.

  The Sunday Mirror says there is a growing belief among Europe's richest and most powerful clubs that a season of Liverpool failure will force Torres - and his advisers - to review the player's career.

  Torres has publicly insisted he is committed to the Anfield cause and does not want to create any issues that could destabilise Rafa Benitez's managerial authority.

  But the Liverpool hierarchy are aware that if their struggling team fails to qualify for the Champions League, hanging on to Torres could become a major issue.

  And Torres will quickly be made aware of alternatives homes where he can play at the highest level of the club game.

  Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is a huge admirer of Torres and the 25 -year-old Spaniard is the man the Blues boss wants to bolster his strike force.

  chelsea would be well advised to spend that amount of money on Buffon, as Cech is making silly errors many a time. ever since his head injury, he just isnt the same, esp his judgement of coming to collect cross is concerned. he is still top in stopping shots, but his judgement of the ball is affected by the injury to his brain cells.

  Yes, buy Torres and Gerrard also...if can get Rafa for free (buy 2 get 1 free). Rafa can help Ancelotti watch videos replay of games all over the world and provide a fact/report to Carlo...If not, a few section of Stamford Bridge needs a good cleaning...
