Fernando Torres has insisted he is happy to stay at Liverpool after the Spanish striker's future has been under constant doubt whilst he was away at the World Cup this summer. Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester City have been linked but have never made a formal approach for the player, while Barcelona have also been linked. Torres has showed his loyalty to Liverpool claiming "This is the best club in the country so the targets and expectations are always high". Torres has also told the club offical website he is looking forward to working alongside new signing Joe Cole. After meeting with new boss Roy Hodgson Torres expressed his appreciation for Roy coming to see him while he was on his holidays. "He told me about his plans for the club and what he wanted from me and I appreciated that. I hope he will be the right man to reach the targets of Liverpool Football Club and I am really looking forward to working with him."Andrews View:
Was this really in doubt? Fernando Torres was never going to leave Liverpool this summer no matter who was the manager or the owner. In the recent financial state no club other than Manchester City can afford the demands Liverpool would expect for the sale of their star man. So now that this speculation is over, Sky Sports News can stop trying to make a story, Manchester City can stop pretending they would be able to sign him and Liverpool fans can go back to believing they can win the title if they can keep Torres fit and on his best form.
