I wanted to find out whether he was willing to let go of Torres on a free transfer since we don't have $$ to spend on risky old wood.. Sometime back, I picked up Maccini from Changi beach in the same way, he looked down and out (BTW Changi Beach is a great place to go for walks and reflection after arguing with Balotelli), and he said we could have Toure if we wanted.. so, after that I called BR and all is settled, I think (he hasn't signed yet right? and its not yet even summer for the rumours to start or end!) :hammer:
