I'm going for a top three

1. the debut goal v chelsea - power, pace and accuracy
2. the goal which someone sends a long ball into the box and before the ball bounces torres hooks it into the far corner - amazing
3. goal to secure CL progress v OM - brilliant
 
We've done favourite Torres goals plenty of times in the past and we all know what the best ones are... Chelsea, Marseille, Blackburn, Newcastle etc.

Now I just don't see the point of revisiting this.
 
Its like saying to a mate, I always fancied your ex she had great tits and I remember you saying she was fantastic in bed.
 
Come on boys and girls. He came and left. Leave it at that.

We got 50M smackers for him. All I gotta say about Torres is thanx and good riddance.
 
I've tried to remove all aspects of him from my life. Then I watched LFCtv last night and it was GoalRush against Chelsea.

The Judas....

EmailPrintAntonio Sanz - whose Bahia Internacional agency represents Fernando Torres and a host of Europe's top talent - answers your questions in the wake of the Spanish striker's British-record transfer from Liverpool to Chelsea.

Chelsea spend £75m on Torres and Luiz
..Question from Maxime: Hi Antonio. Where do you think Fernando will play at Chelsea? With Drogba still in the team, do you think Torres will have to spend time on the bench?

Antonio Sanz: Yes, although I'm not the coach. Fernando is ready to play wherever he is asked to.

Question from Aceno: When and why did Torres decide to leave Liverpool?

Antonio Sanz: The decision was made last week after Chelsea made their offer. He thought a lot about it, and decided he wanted to step up a level.

Question from AAA: People have been saying that the price for Torres was far too high. Looking at the figures paid for Spanish players like Mendieta, Jose Mari ... do you think Torres could join that group of disastrous transfers?

Antonio Sanz: We need to live more optimistically! You can't really compare different players' careers, but Jose Mari had a successful career at some big clubs. In any case, each story is different.

Question from Carlos: Did Torres want to leave as soon as Chelsea called?

Antonio Sanz: From the outset, he wasn't totally sure, no. But he analysed the situation, and put plenty of thought into it. There was plenty of deep analysis.

Question from Jordi Gascon: Did Fernando leave Liverpool for Chelsea for sporting reasons, or did he did he leave on financial grounds?

Antonio Sanz: No, it's for sporting reasons only. He's already said that it is a big step in his career.

Question from Mike: Which other clubs were interested Fernando?

Antonio Sanz: None in this window, but in the summer there were two bids from Chelsea and Manchester City. Both offers were refused by Liverpool, who were going through a difficult time.

Question from massana83: If this new contract links Fernando Torres to Chelsea until 2016, is there a possibility that Fernando will return to play for Atletico Madrid after that?

Antonio Sanz: That is not the exclusive decision of Fernando - it would also need some interest from Atletico. At this point, it's too far away.

Question from John: I am glad that Torres has gone to Chelsea. What do you think about the Liverpool fans burning their shirts of him?

Antonio Sanz: I don't like it, but I respect it. I don't think that is the best way to express your disappointment, but it's not for me to say. There are other methods of protest...

Question from Chemi: Is it true that Real Madrid tried to sign Fernando but he refused out of respect for Atletico?

Antonio Sanz: I can tell you that there were a couple of Real presidential candidates who wanted to make contact with Fernando, but he would not play for them. He has more than demonstrated his feelings for Atletico.


Question from Chicky: Does Fernando leave with some bad feelings from Liverpool?

Antonio Sanz: He leaves Liverpool very grateful - to the club, to the people of the city and to the directors. He and his family were always treated very well.

Question from Alex: Is he disappointed with the possible break-up of his relationship with Liverpool fans?

Antonio Sanz: He couldn't physically see the images because we have not seen a minute of television. He respects why the fans might be upset.

Question from Colchonero: Do you know if Atletico will receive any money from his move to Chelsea?

Antonio Sanz: No, the only teams involved in the deal are Chelsea and Liverpool.

Question from Juan Carlos: Is Torres 'the new Drogba' for Chelsea?

Antonio Sanz: I wouldn't say that. Torres is Torres, and Drogba is Drogba. Both are great strikers.

Question from Maryjoe: Is Fernando planning to explain himself to the Liverpool fans? I think the people there expect a gesture from him.

Antonio Sanz: Once we've had five minutes to analyse everything, he probably will. I'd like Fernando to explain to the fans why he left Liverpool.

Question from Maryjoe: When Fernando left Atletico, it seemed that he made the final decision after the famous match against Barca at the Calderon. Was there also a particular time that he decided to leave Liverpool?

Antonio Sanz: I think that the Calderon was the straw that broke the camel's back. He had long suspected that his time at Atletico was over. This time has been different. Anyway, Liverpool have doubled the money they spent on Fernando in 42 months.

Question from Betsy: The British press reported that Torres had felt "verbally threatened" at some points in the negotiation process. Can you explain what happened?

Antonio Sanz: Not true. What happens is that negotiations are difficult and sometimes unpleasant. There were no threats.

Question from eduardo: Did you think at any point during the negotiations that the transfer was not going to happen?

Antonio Sanz: Yes. There were critical moments, like Sunday afternoon, when I feared that it wouldn't happen.

Question from Paul: In some online forums, people put Torres's address up for Liverpool fans to go and protest at. Do you know if something happened?

Antonio Sanz: Not at Fernando's home, no. Well, we were there on Sunday night and on Monday until noon and I saw no fans.

Question from Znathan: Antonio, do you believe that El Nino can reach his full potential at Chelsea?

Antonio Sanz: Undoubtedly. He is one of the best centre-forwards in the world. Don't forget that two years ago he was voted the third best player in the world by a jury of coaches and captains, and in 2009 he was named best centre-forward by the world players' union. Only injuries have deprived us of the best Torres.

Question from jordi21: Do you think that Torres will adapt quickly at Chelsea? If not, could this be a bad signing?

Antonio Sanz: I think it was more difficult for him to adapt when he arrived in the Premier League at Liverpool, but he did.

Question from Mike: Would you like him to play against Liverpool?

Antonio Sanz: Yes, if it is deemed appropriate - Ancelotti could pick him this Sunday.


God they REALLY wanted some dirt on Liverpool or the fans!

Yep, but the difference is I have respect for Alonso and he was and is a class guy, I geniunely wish him all the best in everything he does because he treated the club with respect.

Torres on the other hand, I hope his career folds.

Not your greatest idea, Neil.

Jesus !

I know! YIKES!! I thought the wounds had healed 😉

personally speaking I don't give a fuck about torres, totally ambivalent about him.
 
If you don't give a fuck, why make a post celebrating his goal-scoring ?

Fuck's sake man !

Yeah I agree.

I was actually thinking about this yesterday, I loved Alonso way more than I ever loved Torres. But I don't hate Alonso now, I resent that he left because we could still do with him. But he plays for a team I hate and is someone that I wanted to stay with us but left, yet I will never feel the hatred for him that I feel for Torres. The reason being Alonso showed us respect, at the time of his departure and ever since. I never felt like he deceived us or went back on anything he said; Torres did, he said he'd never play for another English team, he also said he would at least be here till the summer. A lot of players come here and are professional, they don't may on the whole sentimental sideshow that Torres did, when they move on you don't feel the same level of betrayal. Torres choose to play the whole emotional attachment to the club bit, and now he will have to live with the fact that that consequently makes him someone who is seen as being deceptive.



Also, anyone remember those David Villa comments in the summer about how Torres was keen on a move to Chelsea? They were quickly rubbished as fabricated, which seemed highly unlikely that they were totally made up. Seems more likely now that he thought he was making comments off the record that ended up being published.

it wasn't a 'boo hoo he's gone, light a candle and celebrate his goals'
it was more of a 'meh, what goal did you like the most?'
 
Again, what the fuck are you talking about ?

That makes no logical sense !

Please, somebody, fuck this thread off !

Come on guys, no more Torres threads please
[/quote]

It's going to happen every time he scores (like what happened with owen) I promise I personally wont start another torres thread though 🙂
 
Yeah so we've got the one thread HC started, just leave all the Torres bitching in there. Let's stop worrying about him and worry about the players we have got.

Two of LFC's best ever players are the club right now, focus on that.
 
It's not that it's "Another Torres Thread" per say. It's the idea that we would want to sit around and remember fondly "the good times".

He fucking lied to us.

He can go fuck himself.
 
I always liked the one against Arsenal in the CL quarter finals, that was ace.

That said, I hate the Thundercunt. Even more so when he speaks nowadays.

Indeed. I've been thinking about how I was duped into believing he actually understood the club. It wasn't just his words. To me, he didn't look the brightest of people around. You know, that distant daze he has. He just had to be honest about it. But all this while he's wrapped us around his pinky, and must be laughing at how easily we trusted him despite all the evidence out there that his heart wasn't in it anymore.

He probably photoshopped that photo of him with a YNWA armband.
