Problem was Drogba wasn't doing that good so we needed a better striker and Torres looked like the perfect player for that position yet...
"Anyway, it's not like you can release him and win epl right?" - we might just do since he's the fault for most of our losses cause he can't score(reference: Chelsea vs Man U, missing a 100% goal).
Torres was just starting to hit form again for Liverpool after a poor start (right after a poor World Cup (right after an injury)) but when he went to Chelsea it just came to a standstill. Maybe it was his regret for leaving, maybe it's because he wasn't getting the service from Gerrard, maybe he's too scared to get injured or maybe he's worried about leaving John Terry to look after his wife.
I put it down to injury. At Liverpool he was a target for dirty players like Patrice Evra due to him being a massive threat. During the last World Cup he was unable to do anything and during Woy's reign at Liverpool he struggled (although no one besides N'Gog did well under Roy (says it all really) and Reina). His injuries probably took a bit of pace off him and he seems to have forgotten where the net is.
And lol, I remember seeing his miss against Man U on YouTube...it was funny. YouTube took them all down about a day later though.
