totally agree mate

but LFC are bigger than one player, no use keeping Torres on books if he dont wanna be there, so hope Carroll produces the goods, albeit even though we paid way over the odds. If Carrol is worth 35mil Torres has to be worth 100mil . . . .

i think Suarez will run riot once he settles, and Carroll is already used to English game so makes sense not to get 2 new strikers from different leagues

2256: DONE DEAL The first of our golden trio is done, people. Liverpool have confirmed that Andy Carroll has signed for the club from Newcastle on a five-and-a-half-year deal for a club-record fee reported to be £35m. from http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9380667.stm

Signing Carroll is possibly the most important signing Liverpool have made this season with Suarez not being able to play in the Europa League and all.

Torres move to Chelsea also now confirmed.

Carroll will wear the #9 and Suarez the #7

Why Nando?

Why?

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. Big.

Torres on Chelsea deal: "I am so so happy and so proud to be here"

His transfer proved he was a cunt / Torres, Torres
Liverpool legend bites the dust / Torres, Torres
You'd better not come past the Kop
We'll beat your arse and never stop
Fernando Torres, hope you die in a fire.

Bye, bye Mr Spanish type guy
You were greedy we were needy and you waved us goodbye
But we got Andy and Luis at least they're gonna try
So you Judas cunt can fuck off and die
You Judas cunt can fuck off and die

cant agree there, he has struggled . . . Kelly alot better proposition in my opinion and he will only get better

That makes me physically ill.

Fuck you Chelsea!

Just a point regarding Andy Carroll; yes it seems like a gigantic amount of money and a risky move but Carroll's only 22, Strong, powerful in the air, has scored goals against the top teams (Arsenal, and a cracker against us IIRC), he's got a decent strike rate (31 goals in 82 apps for Newcastle) and will have a top strike partner in Suarez. I'm looking forward to Carroll and Suarez tearing Chelsea's aged defense a new one at the bridge! There's no reason why those two can't become one of the deadliest strike forces in the league

To all those bemoaning the amount of money spent on Carroll I ask, would you rather we not have bought a striker? Sure it's a lot of money but I'm glad we've bought in a replacement.

To be fair though, that was after the first couple of games in which he performed well. If you look back through the forums you can clearly see I've changed my stance, and was hoping he'd be gone this transfer window after some pretty poor performances.

Torres: "It is the dream for every top class footballer to play at a top class club and now I can do that"

Now hes proved hes not a red torres torres... the moneys gone straight to his head torres torres... fuck off to chelsea ruin your life i hope john terry fucks your wife fernando torres judas in disguise.

thats good.:lol:

Stole it off a mate who posted it on facebook. Might have to go watch him burn his Torres shirt later and make a shrine to Andy Carroll.

not as good as other one's ive heard but:

His actions proved he was not a true red, Torres Torres
chelsea called I'm off he said, Torres Torres
the book you wrote was full of lies
the player we loved we now despise
fernando Torres, "Chelsea rent boy.
:twisted:

Well said, under previous owners it would of been good bye Torres and all BS as to why we couldnt get someone else

yeah fair call

i agree there, i actually thought he would fit in ok but as time went on i was wishing him to go too

i feel physically sick.... it's not that torres is gone, i can accept that, but for the club to waste such money on such an over-rated player makes it so much worse, it's just terrible, god this is bad... we've never been a club to pay ridiculously over the price to get a player, and now that we have, i don't know what the football club means, we're just as bad as chelsea and man city by spending so much money on a player like that... Dzeko was cheaper ffs, would have preferred the rest of the season to be a rightoff and then sign somebody in the summer, this is wrong on so many levels, it's up there with the Qatar decision for me

This.

Barca only paid 34 million for David Villa 6 months ago.....

Should've taken Sturridge and then gone and bought David Luiz with Chelski's money.

Andy Carroll = 35m

Szczesny-Clichy-Djourou-Vermaelen-Sagna -Nasri -Walcott -Fabregas -Song -Wilshere - RVP = £44m

Cos Wenger is quality . . .

:cry: this is just depressing, just really heart breaking, i can't believe the club did this

Oh My.

i wonder what rafa thinks of it all

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Im just coming to terms with what we have done here................35 F****** MILLION FOR CARROL!!!!!. I feel sick:oops:. Oh shit:x

Rafa sold Alonso and replaced him with Aquilani the year after we finished 2nd in the PL

F*ck what Rafa thinks :lol:

nah Aqua had potential and talent, just injuries buggared him up... Torres was Rafa's big signing and it all went downhill for Fernando since he left really... it's hard to think what has been the defining moment that led to this downfall for the club
