Seriously though, what's wrong with praising Torres? By that measure we shouldn't praise any player because he'll leave at some point in his career. We obviously pegged him wrong as a man and it won't be the first time. All that can be said is that in this day and age, loyalty is a rare commodity.

Fair enough. I worshipped him in his time here and I don't think anyone, Liverpool fan or not would fantom him signing for a rival English club. It just comes to show that talk is cheap. You almost lost Rooney yourself and it shows that "loyalty" is a word many players use but don't often practice. "Win trophies" = "More money", if you ask me. If he really wanted to win trophies alone, clubs should offer him a paycut knowing they have an advantage.

Don't blame you for taking a dig. I just feel that there was not reason not to have worshipped him.

Like I've said many times, it's a career to them. They can however still follow the club and keep in touch with the fanbase or former colleagues. You endevour however to avoid stabbing the fans in the back. I admit it, I was a fool for believing what Torres said and it won't be the last time I'll place my trust in a player.

Those boobs are massive man...

A number burned their Gerrard jerseys when Stevie was close to signing for Chelsea. Disgraceful. As someone posted, you aren't just condemning the player, you are also burning the club's insignia. Either way I don't agree with it. For me, one should be thankful for what the player contributed during his time at the club instead of being bitter.

Hard not to notice those massive boobs man. They just reach out and slap you in the face

He did and I'd advise against making sweeping statements. Not all of us want to see him dead. I hope the accuser can read all posts and not just the ones he wants to read.

I could go on to say that a lot of you lambasted Rooney for almost leaving but it's all good now right? Fact is that some didn't give him stick and understood his reason for wanting to change. At least Rooney was open about it. Torres pledged his commitment to us just 3 weeks ago and the next thing you know, he requests for a transfer hence the feeling of being stabbed in the back. I think you can emphatise.

Suffice to say, football mercenaries are dime a dozen these days which is what makes me sick when I see all this badge kissing. Id much rather they just honor the length of their contracts than talk about how they've been a fan since they were kids and so on.
