Why has Torres done the dirty on Liverpool and let them down? If anything Liverpool have let Torres down, they signed him and promised him leagues titles and champions league titles, he did his bit by scoring shed loads but was let down by the club signing shite around him that led to them not only not winning league titles and champions league titles but not even competing in them. Not only that but they rushed him back from every injury he had because they were desparate for him to play and in return ruined his world cup chances by being an out of form bit part player.
Torres is 26, at the peak of his life and has never won a thing in club football, why shouldn't he go to a team that can provide all the things his ability and talent deserves?
Fucking scousers, hate them as much as the rags.
^^This. He owes them nothing.
They persuaded him to stay in the summer on the understanding that things would improve. Although I have no doubt that the long term future of the club is much more secure than it was six months ago, what good is that to him if his career has passed him by while he waits for the club to fight its way back?
Everyone has the right to make the most of themselves in life. Torres is no different.
When people talk about players showing loyalty to clubs, I allow myself a wry smile. From the age of 12-13 these players see their contemporaries discarded like used wankrags if they aren't deemed to be good enough or if they get injured. Torres will no doubt have played with lads 15 years ago who are stacking shelves right now. Footballers are all too aware how paper thin the foundations of clubs' putative loyalty are.
He is 26 and wants to win trophies. Isn't that what drove Daglish to leave Celtic, and ulimately why Torres himself left Athletico?
Liverpool fans are widely regarded (for some unknown reason) by the media to be the most fair minded and knowledgable in the game. To me they are nothing more than deluded spoilt children who cannot even begin to see the level of their own hypocricy.
Who the fuck do they think they are?
