Fernando shows his hand

"Fernando Torres tonight submitted a written transfer request, which has been rejected by Liverpool, Fernando is under long-term contract and the club expect him to honour the commitment he made to Liverpool FC and its supporters when he signed the agreement." 

This latest kick in the teeth to our team building efforts curiously occurred only 3 days prior to the transfer dead-line expiry. Could it be that Fernando’s head had been turned by the Chelsea bid, which in turn, only occurred after Manchester City’s completion of the Deko deal, thus, avoiding a bidding war. Or could this late bid be a consequence of behind-the-scenes efforts? The real head turner though, is Torres’ reneging of his earlier commitment to the club. All eyes now are on Chelsea’s next move and Kenny’s response. Personally, I think we’d be better off getting rid of him and avoid a sulking striker on the pitch.
