Bad news for Liverpool fans… rumor has it that striker Fernando Torres has issues with his club, and may have played his last game at Anfield.
While captain Steven Gerrard has already committed his future to Liverpool, Torres is yet to do so. It now looks like there were some behind-the-scenes issues with Rafael Benitez that may have prevented Torres from remaining happy with Liverpool.
Chelsea are one of the squads currently waiting in line to get Torres on board in the event that he decides to take off.
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson told the News of the World: “Unfortunately, I cannot do much more. His beef is with the club and not me. Fernando’s situation has nothing to do with me, he made that perfectly clear over the phone during the World Cup and when I met him face-to-face.
“He knows what I would like to do with the club. He knows how much I value him. But his issues are with what has gone on in the past rather than the future. If he has problems with the club for things in the past, it is difficult for me to dismiss that.
“People forget he is a Liverpool player. One year ago he signed a four-year contract. I hope he will commit himself by honouring his contract.”
Dalglish, who is now the club’s Academy ambassador, said: “When Torres sees that [Cole signing] and talks with Roy I am sure he will give us good news. I hope Torres stays. Only Fernando knows what is going to do. Unfortunately for him he is injured, but he is a fantastic player and is very happy around the club and the city.
“The fact that Stevie is staying will be a great help and players like Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic, Jonjo Shelvey and Danny Wilson means there is buying for the present and the future. Roy is going to stamp his own authority on the club – but it is difficult at the moment because the players are coming back in dribs and drabs after the World Cup and you don’t have everyone coming back together.”
