Torres off to Stamford Bridge for $50 millions? How true?
No way! Torres has pledged his future to Liverpool after the red hot striker insist "many more years at Liverpool" before considering leaving.
I seriously do not know how this story surface. Unless there is truth that the Liverpool boardroom wants to sell the striker to raise fund for new recruits, this news should not be anywhere but real. Chelsea may have put an offer for Torres but was rejected by Rafa or this story was just a rumour.
The probability in Torres leaving for Chelsea is as Cristaino Ronaldo leaving for Liverpool. This bid by Chelsea goes to show how much Chelsea is afraid of facing Torres. Torres has scored two times against Chelsea. One at Anfield which was nearly the winning goal until Liverpool was robbed by a man called Rob Styles. Torres's second goal against Chelsea was in the Champion League at Stamford Bridge which nearly knocked Chelsea out if not for the own goal by Riise.
So far, there is no further confirmation on other transfer targets except for Andrea Dossena who is close to joining the Reds. The transfer of Gareth Barry is at a deadlocked while David Bentley, Michael Johnson and Stewart Downing are also being linked to Anfield. Xavi Alonso's days at Anfield are numbered after Real Marid and Juventus expressed interest.
The transfer activities going around for Liverpool has rather be slow and hope to see more new faces before the Euro 2008 starts next week.

$50m? I think it's £50m as we paid £26m for him in the first place.
Still, the money doesn't matter, if Liverpool are to win the Premier League then Torres is an essential part of that plan.
dgrice - Thank you for your comment. Yes, it is 50M pounds and not $. I'm sure Liverpool won't let Torres go.
