someone remind me again why we sell arbeloa off to RM? He did very well in this morning's el clasico, keeping messi quiet.. we need a backup like this.. heck i think he's even better than enrique and deserve to start if he's still with us.
Cause Arbeloa wanted to go back to Spain and he had one year left on his contract and didn't want to re new so it's either we sold him for 3.5 million or let him go for free the next year.

Well, that speaks a lot on why Torres wanted to leave.
Likewise, he got fed up with uncle Roy.
By the way, Torres played 1st half season under the uncle Roy.
Do you guys aware that (limbed) Torres scored more goals than both Carroll and Suarez in 2010/11 season?
I still honestly felt if we didn't have Roy as our manager (assuming someone else would do a better job), Torres wouldn't have left if the results were better but there's no guaranteed I guess as he said he thought of leaving as early as 2009 when Alonso was sold or something.

I suppose the term ''once you leave liverpool,the only way is down'' no longer applies these days.
Mascherano won the league and CL with barca,alonso and arbeloa are gonna win the league with real this year,aquilani is challenging for the league title with milan and meireles & torres look likely to enter CL final and possibly fa cup

Even benayoun will play CL with arsenal.
I guess it depends on how you look at it. Some may have won trophies while the others have a chance to win trophies but none of them are now being spoken of in the same way as they did when they were here.
Alonso and Arbeloa - reputation built from Liverpool but Arby did struggle to hold a starting spot at Madrid.
Mascherano - best DM in world football but only gets to play when a CENTRE BACK is injured!!
Aquilani - well, nothing can be said because he hardly played for us but I always felt he was a good player.
Meireles and Torres - also, reputation kinda build at Liverpool and at Chelsea .. just another player.
Benayoun - hasn't really played much has he?
But Alonso, Arbeloa and Mascherano are easily playing for two of the world's best teams.
