After Torres-Chelsea story started hotting up, they were pretty quick to get the deal done. Should keep Torres now, that's basically what he wanted - reassurance that the club was moving forward. Good signing, albeit too much for suarez i believe (but in grand scheme of things, well worth it to hold on to torres). Can see him flanking Torres in 4-3-3.
Btw just to clear things up, my facepalm for the bale story was a facepalm at inter for bidding such an excessive amount for an over-hyped player.

Great news after the initial shocker from Torres . Now , El Nino should hopefully remain a red as well !! But i am pretty confused regarding the playing XI of Pool with the addition of Suarez .
----------
Might be something like this (4-3-3) :
--------------------------------------------------REINA---------------------------------------------
KELLY-------------------------SKRTEL (Until CARRA's return)------------AGGER------------------------JOHNSON
---------------MEIRELES-------------------------GERRARD-----------------------------------LUCAS---------------
---------------KUYT-------------------------TORRES-----------------------------------SUAREZ---------------
----------
Or should they opt for a 4-4-2 , then Maxi comes in for Lucas and Meireles goes as CM along with StevieG . Kuyt then returns back as a RWM . But thats a rare case given maxi's poor form coupled with Lucas's brilliance of late .

Holloway vows to resign - ESPN Soccernet
This whole situation is ridiculous! Arsene Wenger made 8 changes against Wigan in December and he wasn't in the firing line for doing that. Ian Holloway made 10 and got fined! So, a manager can make 8-9 changes to the team and not 10 or 11!
I guess Ian Holloway was fined because he manages Blackpool and Arsene Wenger manages Arsenal.
What Sir Alex said in the news above is absolutely spot on!

Suarez has been bought so the torres deal can be done, liverpool wouldnt sell until a replacement was purchased, torres should be a blue within the next 48 hours.

It wouldn't be that wide. It'd be what we're playing now
--Gerrard----Lucas
-------Meireles..........^
Kuyt........................|
---------Torres----Saurez
Either that or Suarez is bought to partner Torres upfront. Anyway, it's better to prepare for possibilities that we won't be bringing anyone in this transfer window.

Liverpool have rejected a $500 million offer from Chelsea to buy their history.

Unless Kenny can convince him to seriously reconsider, I hope Torres leaves. We can't have a player who isn't fully committed to the club in the team. No player is bigger than the club. I hope he gets what he wants and we can cash in big. Thanks for the memories Nando but I can't help but feel you're a traitor. You just said you'd honor your contract and that you were committed 2 weeks ago. I don't see what could have changed in those two weeks as Dalglish has come in an really shaken things up and gotten Liverpool back on track. Sad day tbh. I was so happy after I heard the Suarez news but now I'm just disheartened and slightly disgusted with his behavior. Not only is he not a man of his word, he has so little respect for the club that he would hand in a transfer request so close to the end of the transfer window.
I guess you missed out on this :

I feel the show he is trying to put on is more or less similar to what greedy Rooney did 3 months back !!

Will he still be there come next Wednesday?
On a serious note, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if he is doing what Rooney did months ago just like you said in the previous post.
