So far, he's admitted to wanting to play alongside Lugano, and that he could see himself playing in France. Because of that, it's now being said that he "really wants to go to PSG". Mildly entertaining.
After the whole Torres affair, I have a fairly chilled outlook on the situation. If he leaves, he leaves. It will certainly be a shame, but whilst he is magical on the pitch, he is poison for PR (and going down like a fairy every 30 seconds doesn't help).
Tbh, I think Torres is past it now, the fact that we got £50 million for him is ridiculous. Granted, not as ridiculous as paying £35 million for Carroll, but ah well.

to kill themselves is simple the 100's of years of religeous dogma saying that it is bad, from a purely practical point of view if people in pain want to end it why not. We put down 1000's of animals who we wouldnt want to live in pain, however if it is humans then the church gets all uppity and talks about souls. Plus it would save the NHS money in care.
