RE: Liverpool FC
While I can't forgive Fernando for how he left us, I can forgive him for why he left.
He was clearly a hugely ambitious person and, in my opinion, the club did not meet his ambitions in the last season and a half. Messrs Hicks and Gillett can have another strike on their record but I don't think it matters at this stage. We never pushed on from 2nd, only replacing a key player with one who, unfortunately, did not work out.
While Torres has won the Euros and the WC it obviously wasn't enough for him, he strove to win everything. When Hodgson failed to meet this ambition on the pitch we began to see 'El Sulk' and his thoughts drifted elsewhere. The way he angled for a transfer, to Chelsea of all places, was deplorable. I think people with his ambition to reach the top have an inherent selfishness which comes at the cost of others. For a lad of 27, the rebuilding needed at Liverpool was too much and Chelsea are in better position to offer him what he wants.
I'm devastated he didn't give NESV and Kenny until the end of the season but we got a good deal really. £50m for a player with numerous muscle injuries, I believe to be just past his peak, is good business. While the £35M for Carroll leaves me uneasy I'll give him time. I'm still sad Fernando didn't get a farewell but in the circumstances it wouldn't be realistic. I think he did, and does, have a place for Liverpool in his heart. I mean any player who has a personalised armband bearing 'YNWA' must. I'm sure he'd rather lift trophies at Anfield then at Stamford Bridge but alas, that's modern football.
I for one will always be thankful for the good times.
I'm not stubborn, I was just born right

We always knew he was a red Carroll, Carroll.
He has a dirty greasy head Carroll, Carroll.
He punches birds, he burns his house,
But we dont care, that makes him scouse.

Judge me by my size do you? Hmmm? Hmmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the force. And a powerful ally it is.
