I wouldn't say that would have been their original aim, no, BUT with all the bids coming in and what looks like a lot of players wanting to leave, then that could become a strategy.
What are you basing that on? The fact that he has pretty much been a success at every club he has managed apart from Spurs?
Did excellently at Basle and Stuttgart and was stupidly sacked by them.
I don't disagree with what your saying there, apart from the fact that I think this would have been pushed through by Lambert if we didn't agree to it, souring our feelings towards him. I just disagree with the ridiculous statements being made above by St Mongo and Brett from Camden.
No, I don't consider Torres World Class. I would say there are probably 15 players worldwide who are world class, and he's not one of them (neither is Lambert).
You think that he is better than the players on that list? Wow, I'm just going to let that sink, in with you, because that is one of THE most ridiculous things I have EVER heard.
