Chelsea prepare new bid for Atletico Madrid's £60M Torres
tribalfootball.com - June 6, 2005

Chelsea are launching a new bid for Atletico Madrid captain Fernando Torres.
 
Blues owner Roman Abramovich wants to bring the Spanish superkid to Stamford Bridge next season and is willing to offer £40 million for the striker.

Torres' buyout clause is £60 million, but Abramovich will test Atletico's resolve in the coming week with a mega offer for the youngster.

Chelsea had a £24 million bid rejected by Atletico last summer and now intends to almost double that to prise Torres away from Madrid.

For his part, the young striker declared: "The fans should be calm because I am very happy at Atletico. It is my home. I want to win something important with this club."

You can go fuck yourself. I'm talking about in general, not particulary Torres. The amount of rumours you post then it stands to reason that at least one is going to be right.

I suggest you read your own advice. I'm just having a bit of banter with him.

What are you blind eh? This isn't going to happen, especially not for £60M. The Sun reported that they made a bid of £16M, I'd say that was a closer figure to what they would have to pay.

no way in hell would you get him for 16 million - that's bs right there

by today's standards 60 million isn't out of this world or anything..it could easily happen
