The £50million transfer didn't go down well with Liverpool players or fans, but proved to be a good deal…

Former Liverpool defender Daniel Agger previously called Fernando Torres's £50 million move to Chelsea "unacceptable" due to the fierce rivalry between the two English clubs. Torres left Liverpool for Stamford Bridge in 2011, a decision Agger criticized by stating that playing for an arch-rival showed a lack of respect for the club.
The reflection comes as former Reds captain Jordan Henderson prepares to face Liverpool with Chelsea in a Carabao Cup fixture. Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso defended signing the 36-year-old midfielder, praising his pressing and continuous influence on the pitch.
