Also, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a clause in Torres' contract that he can't play against Liverpool on the weekend, don't think Dalgleish would let that fly  .Also, I can see the potential in Carrol. He's more of an old fashioned centre forward, strong, hard working, good in the air etc, he's like the second coming of Alan Shearer imo .also, this isn't just cause i hate chelsea, Torres is one of my favourite players. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Ust5t.jpg) edit: bring on Suarez & Carrol partnership. LOVED watching him in the world cup (apart from the handball ofc, shows passion and patriosm though), with Gerrard, Kuyt abd Maxi all likely to be on the starting lineup too, their attacking options are potentially amazing right now. | ||

I liked how there were rumours or were they actual bids where Spurs seemed to try to get everyone from Charlie Adam in the last minute to Aguero and Rossi | ||

and what a ridiculous bargain 8 million for van der vaart was for tottenham in these climates Torres won't flop but he'll find it difficult to live up to the hype, he'll take at least the rest of the season to be that that player again who arrived at liverpool under benitez. 50 million for a player in such indifferent form for the majority of the year... Ludicrous. Good thing is being an arsenal supporter this all inflates Fabregas and Nasri's price tags so much clubs are gonna be put off from making bids. Carroll is NOT worth 35 million, hes had a great start but for that amount of money you're looking at talent that can win you trophies immediately (David Villa, Carlos Tevez etc) and hes not there yet. I'd rate him 18 million tops, and thats mostly based on his age. | ||

It's a massive knee-jerk reaction to losing Torres and I can't help but feel the club will end up selling him back to Newcastle for a fraction of what he cost. Losing Torres makes me sad as he's such a good player and was starting to find a bit of form again. I can't blame the guy for leaving; Liverpool are a side in a decline/rebuild phase and he obviously doesn't want to be part of such a plan. I can understand why he left; he wants win and maximise his potential while at his prime. I think he'll go well at Chelsea if he can keep fit, but only time will tell. A lot of people are calling it Shevchenko #2, but I think he's far better than that. If he can keep fit, he'll flourish | ||

Milan also are investing hard. Milan, Chelsea and Barca imo are the 3 main candidates to win CL in the future, such amazing squads | ||

They'll make it back on T-shirts probably. Seems like a good deal for Liverpool to me. Suarez + Caroll is worth Torres. Although the rest of their team is awful so it might not help much. | ||

Paying so much for Andy Carrol is fucking linsane...The guy cant behave, has trouble with the law. He played in the championship last year...has played half a season in PL. This has the potentail of major catastrophe for liverpool and their fans..Its fucking spiteful of torres, putting liverpool in such a position, where they had to act fast to even get a striker to replace Torres..The little faggot could have gone earlier.. | ||

Seriously that's insane. Slightly disappointed there were no strikers signed for Spurs. But the fact that we flashed 35m or something at Athletico for Aguero is encouraging, I now eagerly await the er...next tranfer window. | ||
