What a week that was! Who could possibly have predicted that was going to happen in the manner in which it did?
Yes, my friends, Fernando Torres has left Liverpool to join Chelsea.
We'll probably never know exactly how it all happened but we can speculate that it went something like this...

Andy Carroll has started the season very well but I am resisting the temptation to go overboard about his qualities. He needs to keep learning the game and watch what he does off the field. He has what it takes to be a first class striker but plenty of young players have had the potential to make the step up and failed.
Personally, I am excited to see a big, physical, old-fashioned centre forward succeeding in the Premier League. Carroll won't score every week and he will have dry patch but if he can get 20 to 25 goals a season then he will be elevated to the first rank of strikers.
I believe Fabio Capello is right to pick him for England's friendly against France. He has plenty of Under 21's caps and promotion to the first team is a natural progression for Carroll.
I disagree ...
