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.

      It's risky, will probably be played out wide with Odem the lone striker.....might pick up a few assists though, but I'd wait and see....

    It's f*cking horrid. Beautiful in its promise in the mid 1990's it is now a long series of humiliations, tragedies and farces interspersed with occasional moments of glory like the thrashing of 5under1and, just to give us a tiny shred of hope that maybe better days will come, before pissing on us once again and shitting in our trifle.

      You can't go with Suarez until you've seen him play a bit? Look at Forlan at Man U, some people just don't cut it! I would out Malouda for A Young get change Vidic for Fabio to free up some cash to strengthen the rest of your defence
