The Spanish striker Fernando Torres fired a parting shot at Liverpool after joining their English Premier League football rivals by saying he was taking a big step forward in his career.
The two clubs agreed a deal on the final day of the month-long transfer window, and Torres put pen to paper at Stamford Bridge just before the deadline, signing for a staggering 50-million pounds.
The 225 million pounds laid out by English Premier League clubs in January shattered all records, but football analysts say it shouldn't be seen as evidence of a general trend to spend.
