No doubt Torres will get a hostile reception from the Reds away support at Stamford Bridge on Sunday but I hope the hostility doesn’t take the focus away from supporting the team. The best thing to do now is look forward rather than back, and hope that over the next few months the partnership between new signings Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll flourishes.
Fowler has summed up the disappointment we all feel very well and this will be my last word on Fernando Torres. He gave the club perhaps 2 ½ years of his best football and we can thank him for those goals and memories. Unlike players like Xabi Alonso and Robbie Fowler however, he will not be remembered as fondly, and I hope he lives to regret his decision to move South sometime in the near future.
With players such as Nicolas Anelka (31), Didier Drogba (32), Frank Lampard (32), Ashley Cole (30) and John Terry 30) approaching the end of their careers, compared to Luis Suarez (24) , Andy Carroll (22), Raul Meireles (27), Lucas(23), Daniel Agger (26), Glen Johnson (26), Pepe Reina (28) who have yet to peak in theirs, Torres must be praying the Blues win the Champions League this season or the league next because after then, Chelsea’s team will be all but burned out while the Reds should be on an upward curve.

Sadly, I know that Gerrard is aching to leave Liverpool too. A final big payday and a realistic chance of winning the title before he retires will see him at Man.City next season.
If Gerrard does leave I am sure he will do it in the right way instead of sulking, not really playing and handing in a transfer request just 72 hours before deadline. Oh and not say how much he wants to stay 2 weeks prior to leaving.
LOL, are you for real!!! Glen Johnson, Agger and Skirtel that is priceless!! Chelsea are still further along in their rebuilding with the likes of Rameries 23, Van arn holt 22, Kakuta 18, Sturridge 20 and Mceachran 17.
Add the experience of Torres 26, Essien 28, Luiz 23, Ivanovic 26, Alex 27 and Cech 28 add to that the investment in the summer that Abramovich is willing to make in Hamsik, Lukaku and Van de Weil make I think you can see why Torres has chosen to move on.
cech is 28 but man he cant even dive even the retiring vann dar sar is better and man reina is in his own league
“Van arn holt 22, Kakuta 18, Sturridge 20 and Mceachran 17.” all unproven players, as are the speculative lukakau and van de weil..being a little presumptuous and exitable perhaps?
I wouldn’t like to put Liverpools future in the hands of Martin Skrtel though! But I do feel the medium term prospects of both sides are similar.
I cried for three days when Robbie left and was delighted when rafa brought him back. Like most Liverpool fans I was devasted to hear Torres handed in a transfer request and feel the same as Robbie, it cheered me up just seeing him in that shirt! Robbie’s a true legend and Torres has lost his status now. Robbie’s in a different class and know’s more about loyalty than the lieing Torres!
Yet another whinging old Liverpool player going on about what a bad boy Torres was to dare leave a team that’s not won the title for decades, that isn’t playing CL football and has no chance of qualifying this year either. How long is Torres supposed to wait to win anything at Liverpool? Tell me Robbie why is Torres vilified for leaving Liverpool when the same fans treat Suarez and Carroll as hero’s for doing the same thing to their clubs. Grow up and even better stay put in Oz.
are u dumb or what..but i guess u’ll have to be excused, being a chelsea fan…
no one’s upset that torres left, he can go where he likes, we dont need a player who is not interested in playing for us..if anything, our squad is stronger now…
but the way he left things is what is disappointing..u wud think he wud show a little more respect for the club that adored him and the club he supposedly “loved”…
If no ones upset why do we have to see so many Liverpool has been’s on the telly and in the newspaper crying about how unfair life is now Torres has left. Why should he respect a club that’s lied to him for 3 years about investing in quality players when the likes of Koncelsky, Babel, Ngog, r the best you’ve bought
Cause I,ll be cryyyyyyyyyying over youuuuuuuu. lol
Fowlers some need to slate anyone. He bled my club dry when we were broke and milked us for every cent he could get. We were still paying him years after he left. Fowlers nothing but a money grabber. He’s everything bad about the game. He’s just an has been who will go anywhere for the most money. He’ll say anything to stay popular with the Liverpool fans. Ask him why he left Anfield if he loves the club so much? Pot and kettle Robbie.
for crying out loud…Torres is a spainard.He was not born in Liverpool like Fowler,Gerrard…He play for Liverpool because he wants to win trophies but Liverpool cannot delivers so it natural he goes to the team which have a good chance to win it.If Scunthorpe is in the priemier league and are at the top of the table he would probably go there same as other player too…Today loyalty come to nothing,Torres have the right to choose any club he want to play not only Liverpool.Mind you how the other club feel when their top players go away to other bigger clubs.Liverpool fans have to realised you are not a BIG club anymore….LEEDS Marching on …
NM you are totally right, he squeezed every last penny out of a club that was on it’s knees and refused to let it drop. Fowler could not care less about football and the fans of any other team apart from Liverpool? I for one wish he had never left the place.
