Fernando Torres is a traitor: Liverpool defender Daniel Agger
Liverpool defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 as a traitor for his recent move to English Premier League (EPL) rivals Chelsea. The Spaniard left Anfield to join the English Champions on the final day of the January transfer window. The Blues
signed Fernando Torres for a whopping £50 million.
Torres has said that he had made up his mind to leave Liverpool as soon as he had heard that Chelsea would be making a bid for his services. This hasn’t gone down well with most fans, some of whom went so far as to burn replica shirts bearing the striker’s
name. A few Liverpool players have defender Torres’ move to Stamford Bridge. Daniel Agger is not one of them.
A http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 player through and through, Agger said he could never envision himself ever playing for another club in the EPL. He believes Torres had shown no respect for Liverpool when he had demanded to leave the club.
Speaking on Torres’ transfer, Agger said, “It is unacceptable to play for one of Liverpool’s arch-rivals. For a Dane, it's about having respect for the club you play at. I am proud to be able to pull on my Liverpool jersey and will never go to another club
in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043. It's about respect for the club.”
Agger went head to head with his former teammate last week when Liverpool travelled to Stamford Bridge to face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 international caught Torres with an elbow to the face, something that he claimed was unintentional. However, the defender
didn’t seem sorry for his act, saying, “Football is a contact sport.”
Agger isn’t too worried about the prospect of life without Fernando Torres. Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll signed for Liverpool in the final days of the January transfer window, with a combined transfer fee of more than £57 million. The new arrivals at Anfield
are more than capable of filling the void left by the Spaniard.
Liverpool are currently in sixth place in the Barclays English Premier League table.
