Liverpool having the worst season in a long time.
Sell possibly the best striker in the world & replace him with a striker with 1 England cap.

pointless post, not like they had a choice? player wants to leave he wants to leave...

Torres wasn't exactly being effective for them, was he?

This. plus £50 million. Excellent deal for them as Torres clearly didn't want to be there right from the off this season.

I think it's a good deal for everyone really. I think Chelsea have got one of the worlds best strikers and Liverpool have got a decent striker in Carroll and an excellent striker in Suarez. Torres obviously wasn't happy there and wasn't worth anywhere near as much to Liverpool as he wes sold for.

Personally, despite Newcastle getting an astronomical fee for Carroll I think it is they that have come off the worst as I'm not sure they will be able to replace him despite having £35m in their sky rocket.

Andy Carroll is arguably the biggest panic buy in the history of football. The fee of £35million is staggering for a guy who wasn't considered good enough by Cappello to make a piss-poor England squad for WC 2010.

When you consider inflation in the economy's been negligible for the past couple of years where does £35million come from?

Carroll and Bent = £60million of "talent". Unbelievable. Not to mention Carroll's suspect dodgy friends and background. A disaster waiting to happen.

Of course they had a choice.He was under contract end of.
They chose to sell their best player to one of their biggest rivals.

If he wants to go fair enough but don't load your opponents gun for them.

I agree. With 4 Champions League places up for grabs Liverpool just might have sold the player that locks Chelsea into one of those 4 spots for the next 3 or 4 years. Liverpool are light years behind Arsenal and Man Utd, and with the squads City and Spurs have I can't see Liverpool overtaking them any time soon.

And even with Suarez and Carroll - where's the supply going to come from, especially as there's no Charlie Adam?

Couldn't agree more, if I was anybody connected with Newcastle I would be pissing myself laughing at £35million!! Can you think of a worse place than Liverpool to send Andy Carroll, all those bars and nightclubs full of gobby scousers, it won't be long before he's caught up in some nasty fight somewhere and up before the old bill. I would have been surprised at £10 million for him but 35! Jesus Christ what a rip off.

Darren Bent at 24mil looks a right bargain now!

Pass all the medical bills onto Chelsea now, big saving for a constantly injured player

 

[BadFish]

Suarez and Carrol could well be a blinding strike partnership for Liverpool. Torres hasn't produced the goods for a long time. Premiership prices are mental and there aint much point in commenting on them.

On the training ground this morning

Quite interesting this scenario, I think Liverpool have done quite well tbh. Torres has been crocked for some time and has put little effort into his game this season. £50m is a good price for a player in this state of mind and form. £35m is a lot for Carroll but i think he and Saurez will be good partnership. They definatley have a 'fighting' spirit. People have questioned where the supply will come from, my suggestion is Gerrards right boot, however i strongly expect them to be searching for a left winger for the summer!
