Liverpool have officially confirmed that a fee of the transfer of Fernando Torres to Chelsea has been agreed.

The sum involved has yet to be confirmed but, according to reports and day-long speculation, we can expect something in the region of £50 million. Incredible. Torres is currently on his way to Stamford Bridge where he will be expected to undergo a medical and discuss terms ahead of tonight’s 11pm transfer deadline.

This move was always going to be pivotal to the day’s events and so it proved, with Liverpool reacting to Chelsea’s move for their striker 48-hours ago by agreeing an incredible £35 million deal for Newcastle’s Andy Carroll. Expectations have been shattered along with transfer records on a quite staggering transfer deadline day.

A full summary of the day’s events will follow and, once we have confirmation, we will also bring you Scout Reports on both Torres and Carroll, assessing their potential at their new clubs.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Pavly would have been a good replacement for Carroll

    2250: A reminder, too, that just because transfers are not officially announced before 2300 GMT does not mean they have not been completed in time.

    Chelsea had operating losses of £60m this year, Torres has been bought for £50m plus £180k a week. Mental.

      Do you really think Abramovich cares?

      The fact that he also spent 20 on Luiz tells you that operating at a loss does not keep him awake at nights.

        I'm sure he doesn't. Doesn't stop it being mental. So mental it will implode. It seems unless they spend £100m's they win zip. A model that can't continue forever.

    its going to be nice to see Carroll's shirt change on my teamto Liverpool Red in the next few days.

    Although, I'll probably have to get rid with my WC until he's back playing again.

      how he can get angry for people referring to him as such is beyond me - actions speak louder than words. his reputation certainly precedes him.

    Perhaps Newcastle will make a very late swoop(5 mins) for Anelka for £25m, then the deals would make more sense(collusion):

    Chelsea=Pay £25m+Anelka for Torres
    Liverpool= Receive £15m+Carroll for Torres
    Newcastle=Receive £10m+Anelka for Carroll

    Just a thought.....
