Well I'm still in disbelief, totally gutted. Trying not to feel angry though, even though I think it's ****ty form from Fernando, something I never thought I'd say. So many things about it are incomprehensible.
Of course, last season was awful, this season has been at times close to disastrous, and I know very few would begrudge him wanting to move on in the summer. He's been lied to time and again, and we've lost top, top players over the past few years. I get it.
But over the last painful 6 months, the cancerous hierarchy and debt has been removed from the club, we've ditched the pathetic Roy Hodgson as manager, and installed a manager who understands the club, the fans and a short-term philosophy of how the players should conduct themselves on the pitch, which has already started to look like it's paying dividends.
What's difficult to swallow is we've brought in Suarez (presumably as cover or a partner to Torres), and 3 ****ing days before the transfer window closes, he declares he wants out. It's all very well to say, "ah well, he wants to, he wants out" but as far as I can see this is totally out of the blue, and it's not on. And ****ing Chelsea, of all teams? Torres, in blue? Only a few weeks ago he'd publically stated his intention to see out his contract, and said as much in the summer of last year when the club was in turmoil.
If nothing else, I suppose this revelation explains his at times poor attitude on the pitch this year (not, as the tiresome 'experts' have been saying every damn week - his fitness). His heart just wasn't in it as it once was, maybe it hasn't been for a while now. In which case, we move on.
I honestly thought for such a long time now this guy could become the greatest striker we'd ever had
He could have done that, and stated as wanting to be as much when he joined. El Nino. A hero, a legend we'd talk about in years to come. Of course we still will, but not in the same way. Now he's just another Micheal Owen.
He's quadruple the player Bent is. 50m has to be a minimum. Throw in Anelka (who loves LFC) and maybe there's deal in there.
Pacheco + Suarez? We've got Ngog too. But there's a lot of hard work and adjustment ahead all of a sudden. This season has just been too painful for too long, when is it going to end?
*sigh* Sorry for the long post. Off for a little cry now
