Transfer Frenzy~!

Last night was just absolutely crazy! Frantic stuff going on all over Europe especially in England. What am I talking about? The transfer deadline of cause. It was all really exciting mainly due to the fact that Liverpool were playing a big part in the whole thing. Fernando Torres's departure sparked a massive domino effect on a few clubs. Liverpool got Andy Carroll for 35 million Pounds which I still think is a ridiculous fee for someone with just so little experience at a top level. Just hopes he is a fantastic buy for the club.

I was following ESPN Soccernet throughout the night and I must say, it very much reminded me of the stock markets. All the hustle of bustle of players going here and there.Those crazy rumours. Rejected bids. One thing is for sure, there was so much drama the whole night. Liverpool fans are really bitter by the manner at which Torres has left the club. They're saying he didn't even say 'thanks' for the immense support he got from the fans all the while he was here. Some idiots went as far as burning the shirt of their former icon. I just feel that he should have at least thanked them. Moving to Chelsea as he described was a 'BIG STEP FORWARD' in his career. It remains to be seen. One of my favourite quotes about Chelsea that I came across last night was that 'they're a plastic club with a load of plastic players'. Quite true actually.

Anyway, I can't wait to see Suarez and Carroll pair up front for this club. Its a mouth-watering prospect :) It cant only get better from here as we've hit rock bottom already this season. God Bless Liverpool!

It was something like this following last night's action:)


I bet some people's reaction was the same as this when they heard Liverpool's bid for Carrol cost 35mil!

Club's most expensive player. Crazy in my opinion because he was simply unknown just 7 months ago. Hope its a masterstroke by King Kenny.

Fish Auction in Japan. Can't help feel the same way about the way football players are these days. The highest bidder gets the player.

Hope he scores loads of goals for Liverpool too. Torres wasn't a prolific goalscorer in Athletico Madrid either. Sometimes, its all about the service a striker gets.

He looks good in a LFC kit doesn't he? ;)
