How can Liverpool afford 26m to buy a player? I thought they were in debt?
We were bought by the Red Sox in October. They cleared all our debt except for the $50 million stadium loan.

They've got solid financial backing though we're not even close to being as heavy loaded as Man City or Chelsea.

Aaron, did you get Suarez?
We did (still have to agree to personal terms and complete a medical).

While I realize the negatives of the acquisition as far as Suarez's craziness and antics, success in the Dutch league, etc; I think he's very talented. It also shows that the owners are willing to back the promises made when they purchased the club.

Hopefully Torres comes out this weekend and rubbishes the talk about him wanting to leave for our rivals.

Why does signing Suarez make it less likely? And didn't Torres ask Pool to talk to Chelsea today? He surely new the Suarez deal was close.
Torres has wanted someone to play with for a while, now he has it. He wanted investment in the club. He's got both in Suarez. He claimed last week that he was happy playing under Kenny. If we had failed to sign Suarez he probably would have left.

There is no reliable source saying the Torres asked to talk with Chelsea. I won't believe it until it happens.
