Fernando Torres

[Daniel 7]

...and I'm not convinced it was just "his" decision to leave. With mega roubles like that on offer for an unmotivated, surly striker on massive money, that the medical staff would have know was on the wane, there is no way FSG were going to let him stay.

The only downside of it was wasting 70% of the fee on the big hippo replacement.

[Doc_Piptorious]

You see his comments about leaving us? Said something like he joined Chelsea to win trophies and he achieved it so its not a failure. ******

3.5 seasons with us and he won nowt. 3.5 seasons with them and he got winners medals for the FA cup, the Europa league and the Champions league.


He may have played his best stuff with us, but he has **** all to show for those goals.


I agree with Daniel's comment that we sold him at a perfect time going by how shyte he was after the sale, but by leaving us he managed to win all the major club silverware that he is likely to win in his career.

[Roboklopp]

Fair comments. Wish him well now tbh. Not massively well, but ok. £35m on Carroll is still sickening though FFS. We did well to get £17m back of whatever.

Never loved a Liverpool player as much as Torres. Never hated an ex player as much as Torres. Hope he fails miserably the cunt.

At £17m Carroll is massively overvalued for such a limited player, so our £35m for him was sickening.

[McDermotX]

Was looking at him trudging about the pitch against Arsenal the other day thinking 'by Jaysus, he cost 35m !!!'
What a ****ing blunder ! Add in the attempts to justify the fee by the people concerned and it comes across as shockingly amateur.

Still think the money shelled out for Downing is still the most 'offensive' transfer we've ever done, but the Carroll signing was a **** up from beginning to end.

It was obvious before we did the deal, but it was Boyzone that sealed it.

Yeah there's no denying that.

But he played no part in any of those trophies and he knows it. A fair few goals against a couple of pub teams in the Europa League but other than that he was an expensive passenger.

Hollow trophies.

[Daniel 7]

To be fair, he did get the vital goal in the semi on their European Cup run

If only we knew how good Sturridge was at the time of the Torres deal we could have saved ourselves the heartache of 35 mill for Carroll.

Fernando Llorente was our first choice. If only he'd pushed Bilbao to accept the deal. We would've been in a much better place with Llorente and Suarez at the time.
