We wanted to keep Torres, like how we wanted to keep him. The club said 'Not for sale' for both of them but both wanted to leave the club on their own terms. Masch wanted to leave ever since before last season started but only told him he could leave after and he did, enjoying warming the bench and watching Lionel Messi play. Torres handed in a transfer request and his body language since the end of last seaseon clearly showed he had no desire to play for us.
It's not the fact that Torres and Masch leaving that disturbs us. It's the manner. Mascherano didn't want to play against Man City. Torres' move is the exact opposite of what he has said in the past and he is the exact person of who we thought he was. More importantly, they are what they are because of Liverpool FC.
Stupid Mascherano. Before commenting on how we don't want to show effort to keep you and Torres, think again. We sang your name time and time again and also, and if you're implying we don't show appreciation to important players who left the club, you and Torres didn't show appreciation to the fans and club that make you what you are.
Xabi Alonso, Alvaro Arbeloa, Sami Hyypia, Danny Murphy and even Ryan Babel are still respected, aren't they?
