Torres

According to a number of Spanish and English sources, Spanish forward, former Atletí star and international heartthrob Fernando Torres is on his way out of Liverpool. Chelsea is set to offer the third-highest transfer bid in history (after the fees Real Madrid paid for Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo). Torres is from the Comunidad de Madrid, which qualifies this news for my site.

Although I don’t like Chelsea, I’m an Everton fan – Liverpool’s intracity rival – so this news pleases me. Still, I do love the Torres fan song.

Maybe Chelsea fans will pen a new version. Here’s my submission:

We always knew he’d be a Blue/Torres! Torres!

He told Anfield to go and screw/ Torres! Torres!

We bought the lad from Merseyside/Aims for goal, puts balls inside.

Fernando Torres. Chelsea’s soon-to-be number nine!
