Words from Fernando; 'I am so happy and so proud to be here'. 'I am sure this is the right big step in my career'. 'Chelsea is the type of team I want to play for. One of the biggest teams in Europe. No more steps forward, this is THE top level'. 'I spoke with Yossi, he is very happy, and so am I. He has alot of great qualities and we have a great relationship'. 'Can't wait to arrive at the training ground and meet my new team mates'. 'To be honest, I am a big fan of Drogba and Anelka. I was a huge fan of Anelka when he was in Arsenal'. 'Drogba is the best striker in the world by far, so I have a huge responsibility to play with them and learn from them' 'John Terry is a great captain, and the captain I want to play with because he is a great player'. 'My dream is to win the Champions League with Chelsea.'

Its not Sky Sports' place to confirm the deal, but seems the deal is definitely on. Chelsea TV saying they are hoping to interview Torres live in a minute. Exciting.

They don't. Chelsea TV and www.chelseafc.com. You'll see/hear it there first.

Genuine LOL.

Yes. Luiz can't.

Thread closed, deal done. Discuss here:

Happy with this. Good for Daniel, Chelsea and obviously Bolton. http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0,,1004~2280452,00.html

Daniel has today, 31st January 2011, joined Bolton Wanderers on loan.

I'd love to see Josh behind Drogba and Torres at home to Reading if we get through. Just saying....

TORRES TO START CHELSEA TALKS Liverpool Football Club tonight confirmed they have agreed a fee with Chelsea for the sale of Fernando Torres. The player has now been given permission to speak to the London club. WOW.

Doesn't Torres have 'YNWA' tattooed on his arm. That would have to go, surely?

Re: Luiz; Record and Abola are reporting the deal. They along with Ojogo are the leading Portuguese reporters. Both are leading the exact same story. 20m + Matic + 5m over time. CMVM.pt (stock exchange) isn't loading.

Who cares? Its Roman's cash, not ours. He scores goals. Goals win games. Wins means trophies.

Can a rejected request be retracted? Surely not.

Guys. If your going to post stories/updates - either post a link or source name. Or I WILL start deleting. Getting ridiculous now.

He played in red, they were so proud, Torres Torres; They used to sing his name so loud, Torres Torres; He loved them til they robbed his house, and now he's blue and hates the scouse, FERNANDO TORRES CHELSEA'S NUMBER 9.

Man City signed Robinho in 75 minutes. Didn't they? But on the whole, agreed.

No denial, but no comments either. From the way Carlo spoke - the club and Carlo CLEARLY wants to sign Fernando Torres.

13:00. Still waiting for the start. Will be between now and 13:45.

Two rumours doing the rounds re: the player involved with the Torres deal. Bosingwa and Kalou.

I think a lot of teams would have a similar stat to that to be honest.

Could be a difficult one to rearrange this, as United have to rearrange a game against Blackpool to before we play this. Us and United being out of the Carling Cup probably will mean a midweek January rearrangement though, and if not, it'll probably be kept til right at the end of the season. Looking at Uniteds fixtures, the Blackpool game will probably be rearranged for the 9-16 Jan. They could then possibly play this game between the 16-22nd Jan. Those dates also suit Blackpool and us.

I'd rather Essien at RB than CB. But United did no damage against Paulo at Old Trafford last season. I've got no worries for Paulo in this.
