Fernando Torres was worth £70m, says Rafael Benitez

Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has revealed a £70m deal for Fernando Torres was mooted last year, and that he would like to manage the club again.
Striker Torres joined Chelsea on Monday for a British record fee of about £50m, but he had been valued even higher.
"I think last year we were talking about £70m," Benitez said in an interview for the BBC's Football Focus.

The 50-year-old Spaniard also said he would be keen to manage the Anfield club again at some stage in the future.
Torres moved to Chelsea on transfer deadline day, although the Blues had reportedly made a bid in May 2010. Despite a knee injury at the end of last season, he featured in Spain's World Cup-winning campaign.

"People were talking about maybe you receive an offer from another club. They were talking about £70m," added Benitez.
Of Torres' transfer deadline day move to Stamford Bridge, Benitez said: "He was not playing at the same level the last time, but he is still a very good player. It is big money but could [have been] even better."

Benitez was sacked by Italian side Inter Milan in December only six months after it was announced he had left Liverpool by mutual consent following six years in charge.

He guided the Reds to Champions League success in 2005 and an FA Cup win the following year, and was in charge when Torres signed from Atletico Madrid for £20m in the summer of 2007.
Roy Hodgson was appointed as successor after Benitez's departure from Anfield, but he only lasted six months before Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish was drafted in until the end of the season.

With Liverpool's form improving under the Scot, and the club's owners spending the Torres cash on strikers Andy Carroll (£35m) and Luis Suarez (£22m), Dalglish looks set for a longer stay.
But Benitez said: "To be manager of Liverpool is a dream for me. This time, I know that Kenny is doing really well.
"I have to wait and keep watching games, but if you say to me in the future would you like to be manager, for sure, no doubt about this. When, that is the question. I have to move forward, anyway."

It's amazing how the fans still love him. Maybe he could have sold him for more, but just think of the crap he would have replaced him with. Probably 15 identical midfielders.

major thread bumpage allows me to say that Insidefutbol wrote:Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has turned down the chance to be the new manager of German side Schalke, according to Spanish newspaper El Confidencial. The Spaniard is reportedly only interested in taking over at a club he feels is capable of challenging for silverware.

Very fair point, but there appears to be a set of 'uber managers' who no longer see that as their role. They view themselves as an elite who can move in & out of the very, very top jobs, demanding £billions and simply chasing the latest hot properties.

Does this make him a prick ? Does it ? .... Does it REALLY ???

I think it does !!

Aah the return of of my favourite thread. The man who turned being a prick into an art form.

BUMP...

is Benitez a prick??

bobo the clown · Post by **bobo the clown** » Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:42 pm

Oh yes. I'm happy to confirm he still is.

If ypu lived up here you'd notice him on telly a good deal, trying to be a reviewer. Still has that smug look, still can barely understand what he's saying. Still, in truth, looking for a big job. He'd not lower himself to looking at us, Jackburn or Wiggin. He needs to be able to spend £trillions & so must be mighty pissed he didn't get a look in at Citeh.

Rafael Benitez 6/1 to be the next Liverpool manager. The prick.

Speaking of pricks, Owen Coyle is 33/1 for the job.

Beat me to it.

Yep .... he appears to be the fans choice.

He's sure as shit his own choice.

He's been prowling the meeja for a while suggesting he quite fancies it "if it ever comes available"

Brill. Another 25 Spaniards purchased, 23 of whole will never see the light of day. Where's Oscar Perez when you need him ???

He's on SSN again...... prick. Touting himself about, hoping for a club with both the stature and ambition to match his own. I'm getting the word............... Darlington
