Its official!!

Fernando Torres has now signed for Liverpol FC in a transfer estimated at £20m.Luis Garcia has gone the other way to Atletico ina £5 m deal.

Torres has stated he has moved to Liverpool because the "time was right".He has no fears about what he can achieve at Anfield and is relishing the challenge.The Spanish international striker will be picking up £90000 a week for his troubles , on a par with Jamie Carragher but behind Steven Gerrard the clubs biggest earner.It is reported also in the local press that Liverpool are still pursuing Yossi Benayoun from West Ham and the Hammers are interested in taking Djbril Cisse and Craig Bellamy to Upton Park .Liverpool have yet to agree a fee with Marseille believed to be around £8m and have insisted there will be no further loan deals.However Cisse has stated he is not interested in a return to the Premiership so there are stil problems here.Bellamys days at Anfield seem numbered as Liverpool now have Crouch, Voronin,Kuyt and Torres filing the striking roles
