Jan 30/31st always is exiciting day for all football fans across the world. Transfer deadline ends in less than 36 hrs and its great to see Telegraph , news of the world, espn , guardian, and many others sucking on the any news they get from the "sources".
Suarez hogs headlines as Liverpool snap up the Dutch Giant Ajax striker . from 30,000 Ft it looks a great buy , Suarez is in awesome form for Ajax and his world cup form ( saving his howler againts ghana, which was ofcourse shadowed by Gyan ) was something of a phenomeno, Liverpool finally has woken up from slumber , It was high time Liv'pool get a quality signing and owners stuck with their original theme to wanting to buy new players ..
But they recieved a "jhatka" less than 24 hrs with the talisman Torres wanting to move away to my team Blues.. Now ofcourse the reds rejected his transfer request , but nevertheless , it brings in an interesting end to this transfer window , with less than 48 hrs to go , Torres, Anelka, would sweating as to where their futures would lie( fyi : Livpool asked Chelsea on 50million pounds buyout and anelka to start the negotiating the buy of Torres, now tats big money! )
My opinion : Chelsea should go for one last gasp.. Torres is still young when compared to Anelka and is hungrier to play in UCL , which Liv pool doesnt lool like playing until 2013 ., Naturally he is determined to move , Part of the reason is Torres moving away could be this . He is one guy who stuck to Livpool during the crisis apart from Gerrard ( diff is Gerrard is Livpool man and Torres moved to Merseyside outfit from Atletico Madrid to just play for that and get into big league, no offence to Los Colchoneros fans )
Thus with Livpool moving to 7th last year and no signs of making better than that , Torres move is very much understanable
And from Chelsea side, its still a good move, mind you chelsea is still looking for a 3rd good striker to team with Drogba who at 32 is no longer that potent force he was couple of seasons ago, With neymar bid failing, and with David Luiz deal collapsed chelsea atleast needs to improve the strike for the second half of the season and work on improving the midfield and defence in the summer, thus torres would be great addition to the blues, he knows english football and he is used to pressure of the big clubs, on negative is his injury pronnes , but hey i would still put him better bet than Neymar, who lets face it might be a prodigy but is unproven in English Football arena ( except in fantasy football where he is a legend in makiing :) )
David Luiz deal falling off is a big disappoint ment for me , He is a young gun and future star in making , Although i hoped Chelsea would have done better than that , They could have gone for Simon Kjaer , who in my opinion is the one of the best young defenders in the continental europe . I hope ancelotti rises to occasion coming season and improve the defence. Midfield is what i am worried as a fan , Lampard will be 33 in June , We need some young guns as long term replacement for lampard.. Eden hazard is great prospect , but i suppose wenger is looking to snap another frenchman to his pseudo french boys team
Finally I hope... Chelsea kick off their campaign to attack the leaders man u in their pursuit of what i think could be last win for Sir Alex( Man u wont win in 2012 :P) . and as i type this my mouth dropped open as i read Spurs try to secure Aguero in a failed 38.5 Mill GBP bid. Holy Cow.. what is redknapp thinking ??
Looks like its all set for an exicting end to the finish line? who will be most content? most rich? most exhilirated ? . We need to wait until 11pm CET
