Just saw the unveiling , press is going insane haha . Cameras going off like fireworks. Here is what jotted down in haste as it went along , excerpts from the conference : Torres - What has impressed you most since coming in? - Want to thank the staff , attention means everything , Impressive facilities , structure of the club . Glad to be here , makes things easy for me . Looking forward to it How is Cobhalm compare ? Both are great clubs and great structures , to compare is no good. Britain's record signing , how do you feel about that ? - Big money comes big expectations , looking forward to it . It was the same when I came from Atheltico , it was a big money move . Destiny to play against Liverpool and score . What do you want to say to Liverpool fans ? I only have good things to say about Liverpool supporters , they've been with me for 3 and a half years , fantastic club , players . Understand they aren't happy , but I would like to in a few days or weeks , I WILL EXPLAIN . I thank them for everything . I am not asking them to understand right now but I will explain and people will love you or hate you , football is that way . Majority of the Liverpool fans aren't ones like you see on the TV . KEnny's reaction ? He said something in the press , but I have nothing bad to say to him . As a player , as a legend, they bought hope back to the club by appointing him . Will you celebrate if you score ? First of all I have to play (cue - humour hah ) , I have big respect for Liverpool fans and I won't celebrate . What will be like playing along DD ?? Its a big challenge , big fan of Anelka and Drogba . When we play against Chelsea , always worried about both of them , excited to play aside with both of them and enjoy myself with these top players. J Caragher - said he understood your decision . Looking forward to play against you . Its going to be strange situation for me , I left liverpool with a lot of friend and I have a good relationship with all of them and its a big motivation to play against Skertel and Carragher and other players Big motivation for coming to Chelsea is for CL ? CL is the main thing and I know the ambition CHelsea has for winning the CL and its the same I have . I want to win it like everyone and the ambition here is to keep winning every year . I have the same ambitions as well. When did you decide to leave Liverpool ? As soon as I knew that Pool and Chelsea wer etalking about me , the decision was made . Talking seriously about the possibility and I was the first one to goto the manager and say I wanted to leave and that's the truth . Do you expect to be able to produce your best form now ? The last month or so I have been recovering and playing close to my best form after injuries so from now till the end of the season , I expect to get my best form When did you decide that you're leaving Liverpool ? About 12 days before the transfer window closed CARLO : I haven't seen you smile yet ? We are very happy , the club made a great effort to sign lUiz and Torres , we have good possibility to go far in this season and I hope everything will be okay . Torres is feeling good ,trained well and is available to play against Liverpool . Still haven't decided for him to start or come in later . Luiz isn't here yet , so I'll be doing the team later. What do you think of the transfer fee ? I was never involved in the financial side of things . We tried everything possible to sign him . We think he is one of the best striker in teh world and glad we got him in. What qualities does Torres bring in ? Fantastic striker, great abilities , skill and I asked for a striker not just to score but contribute to the team . This is our expectation and he is an unselfish player and he doesnt' have a problem to play for Chelsea My point of view we are better techincally for geting Torres in. Do you have to change formations ? He is not a winger , he is a stiker and we'll have to find the right ofrmation , we will not have a problem finding a way to play . Torres : What have players like JT and Frank said to you ? They gave me a very nice welcome , asking me if I needed anything , not just about talking on the pitch . They know how important it is to help out a new person in a new city , with houses etc , and I know the way they play . I will be involved in things soon and hopefully give all the help I can to help achieve Were you unhappy at Liverpool with your body language ? I never lost my ambition , too many people are talking about that . That's just their opinions , I've been playing out of form for months and trying to help the team . End of the day , jsut opionins and from the first day till the last , Iwas heping the club . When I had the chance to join Chelsea, couldn't say no. Which way do you like to play as a forawrd , another striker or one behind ? Its what the manager wants me to do . I don't mind playing with 1,2,3 strikers and its different to play from the one at Liverpool . Its different with the quality of striekers at Chelsea. Are you looking forward to play against Liverpool , is it your choice to do so ? I'm ready to play against Liverpool , its a coincidence that they were the first opponents, if manager wants to play , I will , from the bench or the start and I'm happy to play. Do you expect to finish your career here with your 5 year contract? When I finish I'll be 32 , we'll see how it goes , why not ? TEAM NEWS : Everybody is in good condition and fit to play including Mikel . Spanish press were over after that . Good exchange altogether , he handled it pretty well .
