Torres said: “I’m really happy. I’m taking a big step forward in my career. It’s a big club with a big mentality, the kind of team I like to play for.

“They are one of the biggest clubs in Europe, always fighting for trophies.

“I’ve always wanted to play for one of the top clubs in Europe and now I am.â€

[/quote]

Was that a written statement or did he actually say that ? I seriously doubt that he would have understood the serious implication of that last sentence - there's nothing wrong with the rest of it, as I said earlier, just platitudes.

Twist the knife?! I watched from the kop as he celebrated Bolton scoring past us whilst WE PAID HALF HIS WAGES, then taunt the Kop about it!

Twist the knife? He was the fucking knife.

Don't even gt me started on spitting at people constantly, the fucking dog.

Yup. Diouf was the most unpleasant player we have ever had, and to top it off he was fucking useless anyway.

Nice to see that he has moved to Rangers. I can only hope that on his first night out in Glasgow he runs into the Celtic fan he spat at all those years ago

He said it, on camera too, he knew what he was doing.

Diouff celebrated a goal when he was there player (on loan they was paying his wages). Was a cunts thing to do be we all KNEW he was a cunt.

Torres .... words fail me, I mean What is his beef?

Did he ask for more money or I will leave? So Kenny said fucking leave then?

Its pretty standard to say nice things about your new club but I agree he did seem to go a bit far, especially considering all the talk about how much of a Liverpool fan he was.

 

[Frogfish]

Maybe I'm being a little too generous but I bet what he actually meant (with that last sentence) was a club currently capable of challenging for the CL.

We'll have the last laugh, and I don't think he realized what he was saying ... Though he's still a cunt.

Question - does anyone think we'll get a 'letter' like we did from Luis etc?

No. Nobody has the required good will- player, fans, club.

Henry Winter: Kenny Dalglish loses Fernando Torres but finds crown princes in Andy Carroll and Luis Suárez

Players come. Players go. Clubs survive, often prospering. “After Rushie went, a team came through that many Liverpool fans believe is the most attractive ever,†Dalglish recalled. Indeed. John Barnes, John Aldridge, Peter Beardsley and Ray Houghton were exhilarating that 1987-88 League season, vanquishing teams like QPR in a performance rated by Tom Finney, no less, as the greatest he ever witnessed.

Incorrect. Finney said that after the 5-0 at home to Nottingham Forest, not the QPR game.

Hmmm.

Andy Carroll has claimed he was asked to hand in a transfer request as Liverpool made an improved £35m bid for the striker.

Carroll told the Evening Chronicle that he had been in talks over a new and improved contract at St James' Park when it became clear he was longer wanted on Tyneside.

"Derek [Llambias, Newcastle's managing director] asked me to hand in a transfer request, so I was pushed into a corner and had no choice," Carroll said. "I wasn't wanted by them and they made it clear they wanted the money.

"Then I flew down in [owner Mike Ashley's] helicopter. I didn't want to leave. I'm gutted that I wasn't wanted at my home team after everything I have done and the progress I have made.

"I didn't want to leave at all. Make sure they know I didn't want to leave. The players, staff and fans were fantastic."

Carroll's comments back up the content of texts he sent to friend and editor of the Toon Talk fanzine, Steve Wraith, as the transfer saga unfolded last night.

The Newcastle manager, Alan Pardew, denied the claims, insisting Carroll decided to leave after asking for a new deal, which was not forthcoming. "We didn't force anybody to leave," Pardew told the Shields Gazette.

"I disagree with that point. He had a contract here for five years, and at some point it would get renewed, but for him to sign in October and it get renewed in January – where would it stop?"
