Torres was a great goal scorer. 65 goals in 102 games over 4 years. At the time, probably the best striker in world football. His work rate (with or without the ball), determination and his general attitude was unquestionable. But for at least, the last 9 months of his contract he was dissolusioned and wanted to play in the Champions League, something, unfortunately we (Liverpool) could not give. I don’t blame any player wanting to leave a club if the only reason they went to that club in the first place is to play in the champions League. The reason that myself and other LFC fans have a problem with Torres are his comments about Liverpool, which he still continues this season 2013/14. Fernando Torres has his medals but whatever he says he does NOT have the respect and piece of mind he longs for at the London club he laughingly called ‘One of the biggest clubs in Europe’. The london club he refers to will NEVER be as big or come close to LIVERPOOL’s standing in world football not just Europe. In the end Torres made his decision for him, which everybody does. If anybody out there believes that players today are loyal, those days are well and truly over, take a look at another player who has treated Liverpol and it’s with little or no respect Luis Suarez. Liverpool Football Club is bigger than the names that come and go. Support your club in good times but most defiantly in bad times. Liverpool fan for 42 years and nothing will change that.

In reply to Reddy. Torres' team mates won him the medals, not his goals or performances.

Torres WAS…. That is all you ever hear. We remember him as he played four years ago. He had stopped playing that way for us a year before we sold him for a ridiculous amount of money. Chelsea arrogantly thought his loss of form was from playing at Liverpool and that he would be so much better under their training blah blah! He hasn’t been and never will be again. He got injured and lost his most vital asset: his explosive speed that left defenders for dead. Without that, and it’s gone for good, he is an ordinary striker and no longer world class.
As for winning trophies, he hasn’t. He has no more won any of them than Owen did when he got a CL medal at the Mancs. He rarely ever played and when he did he was ineffective. With the money we got for Torres we wasted a lot on Carroll but at least we spent the rest on Suarez who is twice as good as Torres ever was despite his obvious faults!

In reply to Cadillac 1. Jose will show him the door very soon, Lukaku is much better for Chelsea.

Pushed for a move at a bad time (January) & prior to that sulked & showed half hearted commitment despite taking a big wage, disrespecting club & fans. Has since been booed & jeered at by his own fans & became a laughing stock, pilloried on ads. You were a disgrace in your final months at LFC Fernando, well, you got your move & have won some medals but as a bit part player who’s declined dramatically.

I suppose he can say to his grand kids that he was at one time the best forward in the world, very happy and adored by his fans and team mates. Then he can show them some medals and say that he gave it all up to be a bit part player in a team that won them whilst becoming a figure of ridicule. He will never be accepted back at Anfield with anyhing but contempt.
