as far as I know. Torres did not have a release clause in his contract.

TBH im also not sure. I just remember reading that. Cant remember where or when. Maybe its just BS

Anyways they will not ask for 100m right?

He is quoted by A Bola as saying: "I know that a lot has been said and written about my future, but the fact is that I will only leave Porto for a team that's significantly better

Looks like he's not going to Chelsea

maybe liverpool then?

I wouldnt say no

dont mean to break your heart but i was being sarcastic

Well, I think many players would be more excited about joining Liverpool currently than Chelsea

Don't mean to start a Liverpool vs Chelsea war thread here but surely you have to rethink that?

Oh, well, I didn't necessarily mean it as a bash against Chelsea - Chelsea is clearly the richer club and has been performing a lot better than Liverpool in recent years, but Liverpool has been building a very promising, exciting new team + has the history, whereas Chelsea is aging. I think many young players would be excited about being part of Liverpool's new project and the prospect of probably winning prices in the coming years (plus playing a big role in this teams, where competition at chelsea is much stiffer). However, if Villas-Boas is successful and manages to rebuild the team, that could very well change next year and make Chelsea similar to Liverpool.

My comment was more a response to the guy who made it seem like joining Liverpool is like joining some sort of second rate club and a ridiculous prospect for a player like Hulk, while that is certainly not the case anymore. (not saying he will join or anything)

I believe thats me so I'll reply

I'll quote you in my reply.

I didnt mean any disrespect towards Liverpool and I actually like the pool fans. And I'm pretty confident that Pool would go past one of the top 4 clubs this season.

And about the ageing thing. Lampard, Drogba, Cole... who else, who are important players?

Well, different levels of importance but: Lampard, Drogba, Cole, Terry, Benayoun, Malouda, Anelka, Ferreira are all in their 30ies, and some others are nearing 30 too. Most of the younger players are not all that promising. I think that is quite an old team, tbh.

And I know that Chelsea is refreshing its team, but you have a guaranteed very promising young team at Liverpool, and you don't know if Chelsea will fail with its new acquisitions. They don't exactly have the best track record comes to quality/worth generating.
