Good luck to Torres. He'll be missed on Anfield, but the manner of his departure sours his image as a Liverpool great somewhat. As I said earlier, no player is irreplaceable. He makes way for others to make their mark at the club.
I'd like to see him back to his best, regardless of what club he plays for, for football's sake. The irony is of course, that he improved dramatically following the departure of Hodgson, and was starting to look like the player of two seasons ago. He's a moody player, and needs to feel 'right', in order to excel. I wonder if any dip in form at Chelsea will see him pushed out to the fringes like so many others at that machine. Schevchenko, anyone? Chelsea are in a slump themselves; if he can't perform the miracles his price tag might demand, will he be able to settle in and find his place there? At least at Liverpool he knew it would take time for the club to rebuild and mount a strong challenge; at Chelsea he will be expected to be on top form every single moment of every game he plays. Will he cope, if he ends up another astronomically expensive bench-warmer?
As for Carroll and concerns about his temperament; Liverpool have had fiery players in the past. Dalglish played with and then managed Souness, so will be perfectly placed to take Carroll under his wing I'd imagine. Bellamy was more disciplined at Liverpool than perhaps he was at any other club, and even El Hadji Diouf was quite restrained during his time at Anfield. And Carroll will mature, hopefully. He's not the worst when it comes to his off the field indiscretions...
Carroll and Suarez up front. Quite a good combo on paper, I'd say. The kind Liverpool haven't had for bloody ages. Let's hope it becomes a good one in reality.
As for Charlie Adam; I'm not a betting mayn, but I'd tip him to go to Old Trafford next season. Apparently Spuds almost got him, but I reckon Fergie's working his evil on that one.
Bring it on. Stoke next, then Chelsea....
