Not that we're giving it much credence, but word in the Daily Mail this morning is that Chelsea
are prepared to listen to offers for Fernando Torres come January in a bid to cut their losses as
£50 million's worth of doleful Spaniard slips ever-further down the pecking order at Stamford
Bridge.
Top 10 classic Chelsea vs Liverpool encounters starring Mourinho, Gerrard, Torres and
more
All eyes will be on Stamford on Sunday as Chelsea host Liverpool. It promises to be one of the
most combustible clashes of the season so far but can it live up to these 10 classic encounters, as
chosen by Martin Lipton and David Maddock?
Rayo Vallecano have confirmed that a number of Premier League clubs have been attending their
recent games.
Reports suggest that Manchester United, Liverpool and Cheslea have been checking on Rayo's midfield
ace Michu, while Sunderland, Fulham and Everton were also said to be present.
Michu only joined Rayo in the summer from Celta Vigo, but he has impressed with five goals from
midfield this term.
Liverpool have officially announced an agreement with Andy Carrol for £35m (€41m) plus
bonuses. Deep breath.
To put this in perspective, he's now the 18th most expensive outlay in the history of football,
just between Ballon d'Or winner Pavel Nedved and World Cup winner David Villa. That's a good place
for Carroll's 14 top-flight goals, solitary international cap and the big bread winner, his English
birth certificate.
