Walk on Torres....Walk On .

The manner Torres walked out of Liverpool left much to be desired. He publicly spat in the faces of the club and its supporters who loved and worshiped him. A club who took the chance to sign him from Spain amidst his questionable goal scoring record (despite a huge potential) and turned him into a world class player he is today. The supporters who sang his name and accepted him as one of their own. I wonder how would Rafa feel about his departure?

Judas ?

Sights of fans burning his jersey outside Anfield sums up their disappointment & frustrations. He left the club in a lurch with no choice and desperation. The least he could do is wait till the summer. No one will blame him for leaving then but it's the manner in which he chose to leave that left a bad taste in the mouth of Liverpool and its fans. Having said that, 50 million pound for a player who hasn't performed in the last year or so is a very handsome sum. It's hard to say no for many clubs with that kind of money.

So in came Suarez & Carroll with the money. A strikeforce paid by Chelsea for Liverpool. Perhaps it's not a bad deal after all - trading a striker for a strikeforce. Only time will tell. On the other hand, Newcastle probably ended up with the worst part of the bargain - losing their top striker to Liverpool and not able to replace him in time.

Future of Liverpool ?

So everything is set up for a cracker of a game this Sunday ! Expect a fiesty match and in the words of Torres - "It's destiny to score against Liverpool" . Will there be more burning of jerseys by the Liverpool supporters? Remember Torres, they hate you so much because they loved you even more.
