Torres: LFC fans have loving words for me

Fernando Torres is 30 today and it would appear he's overdone the partying somewhat, as he's bizarrely claimed that "the Liverpool fans I have come across have had loving words for me." Put the bottle down, Fernando, you've clearly had too much.

 

The Spanish striker who left Anfield for Chelsea in January 2011 in a £50m deal, was speaking to Spanish newspaper AS on a wide range of subjects including his time on Merseyside, and once again repeated his "the fans don't know the real story" mantra before once again declining to set the record straight and tell us the 'real story'.

 

"I played three-and-a-half years there and they made me feel at home," Torres said. "The affection of the fans was tremendous and made me feel a quiet confidence."

 

Speaking about his reasons for leaving, he trotted out the same old lines we've heard several times before, both from Torres and also his former team-mate Javier Mascherano who had jumped ship a few months earlier: "They (the fans) haven't understood because all they've been told is the version that some people have given the club and the media. They have been sold something which isn't reality.

 

"I'm sure it's not easy to understand when a player leaves, but I have the thousands of letters I've received in London from Liverpool fans thanking me and now following me in another team. Last year we went to play at Anfield and a man over 70, almost in tears, thanked me and wished me the best.

 

"There will be every kind of reaction but the Liverpool fans I have come across have had loving words for me."

 

Thousands of letters eh? From Liverpool fans still following you as you play for Chelsea?  Sure, Fernando, of course you have.

I have loved watching him struggle for them cunts. That said, if he goes to back to atletico I reckon i'll hope he has a decent end o his career with them. I loved him for us and have loads of boss memories. As we all do. 

 

His song was boss too.

Well and truly pissed off when he went to Chelsea. What a player he was for us prior to his final season. Great memories, got a decent price for him, but he left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Carroll went for 17mill so 32mill in all. Still a very good deal for that cunt

 

 

Pretty much Suarez and Sturridge if you look at it another way.

 

We got 2 brilliant years out of him and 18 months of generally half arsed shite with the occasional flash of brilliance.  I hate him more for the performances he put in for us in that 18 months than I do for him leaving to go to Chelsea.

 

My minimum expectation of a player is effort and that's why I can have no ill feelings at all towards players who try even if they aren't good enough (doesn't mean I want them in the team though).  Torres didn't even live up to that part for far too long.

Torres leaving has made me very wary of falling in love with footballers again. He broke my heart.

So true, its only recently I've been able to get a boner for Suarez.

Oddly enough if I were to ever end up in a conversation with the man, I’d be cordial and pleasant.  I’d tell him that I really enjoyed his play over the first few years and was sorry to see him go and disappointed at the time that he did.  I probably wouldn’t be able to help myself from pointing out that it worked out quite well for us in the end given we got Suarez.  But I’d be respectful.

 

I’ll be honest (and I’ve not read any other replies so no offence to anyone here just in case) but I don’t understand people who would shout abuse at a footballer in the street, or abuse one who played for a rival or had left us like Torres did.  Just my own sense of self-respect would prevent me from doing it.  I’d call him a prick during a game obviously, but when it all comes down it I’m not some Neanderthal who’d stand on one side of the round shouting abuse at a fella because the team he plays for.

He's probably trying to edge a move back

 

There's no chance. For one thing we have better strikers in the side than him....so he'd be stuck picking the splinters out of his arse on the bench. The other thing, and more importantly, he is tarnished goods. He sold his soul to go to those cunts, from that moment he was history for me. No turning back. You betrayed us Torres...you walk alone.

This is it. He has been fluttering his eyelids in Atletico's direction as well this week. Despite the sheer brilliance of his best years he is now old enough to appreciate why he gets buttonholed by pensioners but Igor Biscan will never have to put his hand in his pocket in a bar for the rest of his life.

He does have a touch of the Fredo Corleone about him.

I don't want anything to happen to him whilst our Mother is alive..

 

I forsee a fishing accident waiting for Nando

Fernando Torres gave me two of the best seasons joy of my football life

 

I'll take that over ten years of loyal mediocrity any day

Two amazing, trophy-less seasons. A monumental time in the history of LFC

I don't think many on here would to be fair Johnny.  Nightcat.  He would.  And LFD.  Can you imagine it?  "Why don't you get back on the plane to Wales, shortarse?"

The funniest thing about the whole Torres affair is that, as with all things Chelsea, a big part of why they bought him was the billy big bollocks factor of being seen by everyone to make some kind of statement about being able to come in and take a rival's player, but the biggest transfer joke of the last decade ended up being on them, compounded still further by the fact we got the most prolific English striker of his generation from them and they presently couldn't hit Adele's arse with a Patriot missile.

 

Fernando Torres is the football equivalent of the credit crunch, what looked to be worth money was actually toxic and worthless, but unlike Lehman Brothers we didn't go bust, we're sitting on a beach earning twenty percent.
