Everytime Liverpool has let their 'irreplaceable' striker go they've gotten better and won trophies

Who is saying that? I think the Carrol move is a clear indication of Liverpool's intentions of appeasing Torres.

I don't get this. If Torres didn't leave, you wouldn't have this money to spend. Why is everyone acting like LFC is making all of these moves to piss him off?


Well, before he even left we had made bids for Suarez and Adam...we wouldnt have needed Carroll if he stayed. I'm just saying he left due to broken promises/failure to upgrade the squad...but he never gave NESV time to prove what their about...

Chris Murphy: Chelsea are now reporting on their website that they are "cash positive". They say they are now well placed to meet UEFA's financial fair play rules. How their imminent £50 million Torres deal affects that I don't know.

Doesn't Piss me off tbh. Honestly I'm glad since it takes my mind off Torres. It's a frickton of money sure but he is a quality player.


That is the way i see it. There is no doubt in my mind that if Torres is healthy and motivated he is one of the best strikers in the world. But at Liverpool he is literally a sunk cost not worth a fraction what he is paid. Now I'm almost positive that will change when he is at Chelsea, but i don't care how Chelsea does. I care about how Liverpool does, so this needs to happen.

And yeah i am using the old CFB recruiting mentality when we lose a recruit "well we didn't need him anyway", but I think my logic is sound.

This makes perfect sense. I agree that the change in scenery is key. Both clubs win in this deal. Chelsea probably sooner than later.

I think Carroll is out for a month so if Chelsea doesn't see benefits sooner then they're fricked

So what formation will King Kenny put out there?

Reina

Johnson/Kelly Carra/Skrtel Agger/Kelly Warnock/Aurelio

Lucas
Adam Miereles

Gerrard


Carroll Suarez


I know it lacks width, but that is a lot in attack...

They must think Adam is the next Stevie G. That's obscene.

Would an LFC fan please respond to this: Since the Torres to Chelsea deal isn't 100 % complete, where does the money come from if the deal falls through?

No they hope he's the next Alonso. They do desperately need the distribution, but hoping for him to be Alonso is a good stretch.

I hope stevie let's him take the damn corners. I think his fee is 8 mil not 14
