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.

Could be bollocks but a mate of a mate works for The Guardian Football section & apparently our medical team had told Chelsea's medical team at the time we sold him that he's legs were fucked, this was relayed up the hierarchy at Chelsea & a certain Russian told them he wanted Torres anyway regardless of the cost involved.

 

As I said, could be utter bollocks but it certainly makes sense in the context.

 

Plus, Torres is a big stupid twat anyway.

So, they offered to buy a broekn player for £50 million and we tried to put them off?  I was going to say that doesn't make sense but, you know what, it probably does.

I was advised not to believe stories like that by the friend of an acquaintance who heard it from someone else who read it off a bus station toilet wall.

Which means it's all fucking legit.

Didn't Usher say around the time that we expected him to fail the medical at Chelsea?

When I first went to hospital about my damaged right knee at the tender age of 16 the surgeon actually used the phrase "your knee is fucked". Not really the kindest bedside manner although I did appreciate his candour.

That was heavily reported at the time also. I remember the day after he signed a few people here saying the club had fully expected him to sent starght back up to Liverpool once the medical was started.

 

He's been awful every single time since he eft us.  Even in Italy; a league I'd fancy us to be top half in; he looks awful.  If he was with us now we'd be even worse, if that's possible.

His collapse at Chelsea is still worth laughing at.

His best years with us coincided with him playing with an obviously younger Gerrard and I think more importantly Alonso. After we sold Alonso, Stevie was half the player and Torres started to go to shit. The 09/10 season showed just how important Xabi was to our attacking play after he'd gone and it's looking that way with us this season after selling Suarez.

 

Depressing times...

The context being we didn't want to sell him at the end of the window and Abramovic thought we were bullshiting . No one emerged with any credit.

Abramovic fucked himself and  bought a fake , we spunked the money on a complete spacker and Torres who had shat on Liverpool had plenty of time warming a bench at the Bridge to contemplate his cuntishness
