Linky ----> "Look at the people he has already persuaded to join the club. A lot of people wanted [strikers] Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll, but Kenny had been in the job a week and made the move. He sold Fernando Torres and bought those two, who are the opposite of the pretty boy who didn't try and was always injured. Good business if you ask me." Well said son, well said.

There is no doubt that Torres is still one of the best strikers in the world but the system that made him such was when he played as a single striker. Even David Villa moved out left for him in order for him to strutt his stuff for Spain.
He will always have a special place in Liverpool history. for me, there is no more anger at him leaving. i'm just looking forward these days.

Well said dasil, I think torres will still remain one of the favourites, sadly not legendary status but a great player we had for a couple seasons, I appreciate what he did for us even tho we did not win any trophies with him but to say he is crap and useless is just madness.
Great article, and House, he isn't the best but certainly one of the best. Messi is without a doubt the best there is in the business in this modern era.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

I felt privledged to see Torres play, he was world class a term I don't use lightly. But he wanted to go and we got a great price for him and no one is bigger than the club. Everybody won with that deal. Looking forward to seeing what Carroll can do.

Can we please stop talking about rat lad 2 t****s.
He's history and he's gone. Thanks for your 1st 12 months of actual effort with us, now good riddance.
This article wasn't specifically about him anyway, more about Dalglish and his influence and attitude.
Excellent article btw.

Sorry, wasn't just looking at that statement, more the whole article. Just thought it good to see a former player say that. Not angry that Torres left, just how he did it.
