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.

    Will Carrol's price go up much now he's at Liverpool? I believe he is still out for another month.

    Need opinions guys,

    Should I do Nasri --> Dempsey tonight before he rises (4 point hit), hope Dempsey rises twice over the week and make money or just bench Nasri and play DJ? (I'll be wildcarding Tuesday after the deadline anyway)

    Thanks.

    Carroll and Suarez could well be a class forward line for Liverpool. if they both play to their potential then will more than cover Torres..

    Carroll could be crocked for a while though, and Suarez could do a Kezman..

      I honestly can't see why you didn't go for Forlan. Yes he is older but already has a great partnership with Suarez and would have cost you at least £20m less.
      Instead you do the stupid thing, pissing on my chips in the process. For shame Liverpool, for shame.

      Miserable? We sold a 18 month ball and chain for £50m. We were likely to lose regardless of Torres playing in Blue not Red. Anyway, Suarez brace.

        I agree about the ball and chain bit. Too good, but out injured too much. Definitely sold him at the right time, at a great price. It's a risk for Chelsea, but they have the depth to cope with it.
