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.

      Good keepers,
      defence solid though I'd worry about Kelly now that Carragher nears return.
      Good midfield
      Same strikers as me so obviously brilliant.

      Have you worked out your side for GW28 yet though?

        Kelly is my stumbling bock too. I'll give him a weel or 2 and see, I think.

        Has everyone dropped Berb for Odem? If I did it would help my def out for sure.

            Actually, I might just launch straight in for Simpson over Kelly... Coleman/Vidic/Djourou should be a comfortable backline for this week and its one less transfer later down the line.
