Chelsea signs Fernando Torres

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Liverpool's been having such a horrible season this season that the odds of its stars leaving for other clubs have skyrocketed. So when striker Fernando Torres was signed by Chelsea, it wasn't a surprise. The inevitability didn't take away any of the sting, though. If Torres moved to most other clubs in the Premiership or even to another league, it wouldn't have been as bad. Unfortunately it had to be to one of the four clubs that I would have wanted him to move to the least. I guess Chelsea are a title contender now and Torres wants to win a trophy so it's a logical move. You can't really fault a player for that, but it's not pleasant for the fans of the club he leaves behind.

Even more interesting is the fact that immediately after the transfer, Liverpool and Chelsea, now armed with the Spanish striker, would be facing off. Result? Liverpool 1, Chelsea 0. Brilliant. :)
