Chelsea bid for Torres rejected

Agger is our best defender.

 

I like Agger but i'd say he was more of a footballer than a defender. If Liverpool sell Torres Carragher and David Luiz would be an excellent base, never say die attidue of Carragher with the quality and pace of Luiz would be immense. Granted Carragher is past his best but his attitude is worth more than the more mobility and footballing side of Agger. You could use Agger as a left-back until you can sign one.

 

If Torres does leave i would think the Liverpool fans would understand , the lads world class he has been lied to every season he has been there about them going to challenge for the title and champs league and improve the squad to do this , none of this has happened .

He is world class wants to win titles and play in the champions league right now he is not and does not look like he would be again next season either.

 

I would have no problems with Torres leaving as he has given 4 years and we haven't moved forward as a club. All i can hope is signing the likes Of Suarez shows Torres we are now going after quality instead of quantity.

 

They would, there are a lot of Liverpool fans who think the same as me about Torres

My mates cousin lives there and is a sports jounalist and he doesnt like Torres too much.

They dont rate him too highly in Spain either 90% of his spanish fans are teenage girls.

 

2321: DONE DEAL Liverpool have confirmed that Fernando Torres is now a Chelsea player after the Merseysiders accepted a British transfer record fee for the Spanish international. That fee is thought to be £50m.

TORRES JOINS CHELSEA
Posted on: Mon 31 Jan 2011
Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Fernando Torres on a five-and-a-half year contract.
The move to bring the Spanish World Cup and European Championship winner to London from Liverpool for an undisclosed fee was completed on Monday evening.
Speaking at Stamford Bridge after finalising the move, Torres said:
'I am very happy with my transfer to Chelsea and I am looking forward very much to helping my new team-mates this season and for many years to come.
'Having played against Chelsea many times since coming to England, and in some very big games I will never forget, I know there are many great players here and I will work hard to win a place in the team. I hope I can score some important goals for the supporters to enjoy this season.'
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck said: 'This is a very significant day for Chelsea, capturing one of the best players in the world with his peak years ahead of him. We have long admired the talents of a player who is a proven goalscorer in English football and Fernando's arrival is a sign of our continuing high ambitious. I hope every Chelsea fan is as excited as I am with this news.'
Chief executive Ron Gourlay added: 'Signing a player of the stature of Fernando Torres benefits the club on many levels. Carlo Ancelotti was keen to add his talents to the squad as we continue our quest for three trophies this season, we are delighted we have succeed with that wish, and this signing will undoubtedly aid the club in realising our worldwide potential.'
Torres's scoring pedigree in English football is without doubt. The 26-year-old netted 65 goals in 102 league appearances for Liverpool and 81 in 142 games in all competitions.

 

His interview made me sick.

I am surprised that Ferguson didnt put in a bid just to wind up Liverpool and Chelsea

Torres on joining Chelsea : "It's every footballers dream to play for a big club and I can finally do that now"

 

wee turncoat basterd :icon_mrgreen: thats liverpool * now :bbpd:

 

John Terry , and Lampard , both have there wages upped to match Nando ,match highest earner clause in there deals .

 

We are a stronger team now. Torres has looked disinterested all season and has lost a yard of pace. We have lost one injury prone striker and replaced him with two strikers with bags of potential.

 

Agree with everything you say mate. We overpaid for Carroll but we finally have two quality strikers instead of one who propably only has 4 years left at the top level due to injuries.
