I'm sad that Torres has gone, and very unhappy about the way it's happened including his role.
However, I think if we take all the circumstances over the last couple of years into account, our current position, as well his age and the stage of his career - I think it's understandable that he wants to be somewhere he can compete for top honours NOW (not after 5 years or so). He came, he tried, but at the end of the day it just didn't work out in time.
With Reina it's different. As a goalkeeper he potentially has a longer career. He can afford to be patient and wait longer for LFC to get to the top again. Torres being a striker just couldn't wait anymore.
Given the pleasure he gave us, not just with his performances but also the anticipation, I'm willing to forgive and forget.
And therefore I say, lets show him our class by welcoming him whenever we see him again, whether at Anfield or away. Of course we want him to lose and go goaless when he plays us. But we should remind him what he's left behind in terms of the Liverpool fans. Let's rise above the shirt burning nonsense.
And if we can't win the league or Champions League, I'd be happy if Torres helps Chelsea win it instead of u know who, or even any of the other contenders - except perhaps Arsenal.
I also believe that he does have a lot of feeling for the club, the city and the people. It's just that he had to make a career decision.
"It is not perfect for me but we will see what happens and I only have good words about Liverpool. They made me a top player and gave me the chance to play at the top level.
"I will never say anything bad about Liverpool. I have been very happy there, but now the history is different and I am playing for Chelsea.
