Torres finally off the mark

I don’t know why, but I was actually delighted when Fernando Torres bagged his first goal for Chelsea today in his side’s 3-0 win over West Ham. The former Liverpool man came on for Didier Drogba during the 2nd half and fully deserved his goal when it arrived with 84 minutes on the clock at [...]

Liverpool to make £28 million bid for United striker once Torres goes

It looks certain that Fernando Torres will join Chelsea before the transfer window shuts at 11pm this evening, leaving Liverpool short of numbers in the striking department. The Merseyside club will finalise the minor details of Luis Suarez’s £22.8 million move from Ajax later this morning, but Kenny Dalglish remains keen to add another striker [...]
