Chelsea and Livo goes transfer crazy!

STRIKER Fernando Torres signed for Chelsea yesterday in a staggering £50MILLION British record transfer deal.

His move from Liverpool sparked a deadline day frenzy which also saw the Reds land Newcastle's Andy Carroll for £35m.

The scale of the fees stunned recession-hit Brits. Even Man United ace Rio Ferdinand tweeted: "The UK market is crazy right now."


But this shows once again Chelsea have no Plan B when their season goes wrong - spend and spend big is the only way they know!
 
I'm not a Livo supporter - but personally..I'm very disappointed in Torres! Makes me sick to see him go to Chelsea!

Angry fans react to the news of Torres' defection to the Blues!

In addition to Torres, Chelsea continued their extensive deadline day spending with the £21.3 million signing of Benfica's Brazilian defender David Luiz.

Luiz, 23, was named Portugal's Player of the Year for 2010 as he helped Benfica win the domestic Double and has carved out a reputation as a defender of some repute since joining the club in 2007.

At Chelsea, he will compete with John Terry and fellow Brazilian Alex for a place in the heart of Carlo Ancelloti's defence.

 

And over in Liverpool, they have officially confirmed the signing of Ajax and Uruguay star Luis Suarez on a contract until the summer of 2016. Suarez joins the club for a fee that could reach €26.5 million (£22.7 million) and takes the No. 7 shirt made famous by his new manager, Kenny Dalglish.
