Adios Amigo?

So Fernando Torres joins the Hall of Footballing Shame and with it will forever be associated with the likes of Cashley Cole, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez. Men considered more for their bank balance than their undoubted talent. Torres' treachery is almost worse than his new found friends though, in their cases, most people knew deep down the sort of characters they were. They had history of selling out in search of more money and more success. Nobody could criticise Torres for him wanting to win club honours while in the peak of his career, but the timing of his decision is completely selfish and his choice of destination is hugely questionable and aimed to hurt the club which has helped elevate him from a "wonderkid" to one of the worlds greatest. But he seemed different from the likes of Cole and Rooney, and that is the most disappointing point. He's left the fans that used to sing his name with a crate of eggs smashed all over their faces.

There is no road back for Torres, Liverpool fans may not even forgive, let alone forget. It's clear there's been collusion with Chelsea over the transfer and the fact it seems he or his management have seeked out such an odious club with the morals of an alley cat it's for the best that Liverpool and Torres part company as soon as possible. If Torres had courted the attention of the Barcelona's or Man City's of the footballing world it would maybe be easier to understand his thinking, they are clubs who are only heading in one direction. The same cannot be said of Chelsea, with their ageing primadonna ego filled squad, their days at the top look numbered now Spurs and City have entered "THE BIG GRAND SLAM SUPER MONDAY MEGATRON SUNDAY SKY GENERATED SUPERLY MASSIVE FOUR".

For Liverpool now, they move on with (formalities pending) Suarez in tow. They've lost players before, they will again. The biggest shame being that a player of the class of Torres chose to leave the Michael Owen way and not the Xabi Alonso way. As all fans know, no name on the back of a shirt, is bigger than the badge on the front. Adios Fernando, Tara La!
