Premiership Pondering - Konch leaves the king's realm

Transfer deadline day, a day of big gambles for people with more money than sense. The big news is that Chelsea are loosening the purse strings once more and contemplating a £50m bid for sulky Fernando Torres. If he doesn't sign now he will in the summer. My gut feeling is that Liverpool should cash in now while his stock is high rather than wait and hope his attitude changes.

Other news from the Kop is that Paul Konchesky has joined Nottingham Forest on loan for the rest of the season. Many criticised him for not being Liverpool calibre. This may have been true in the past when Liverpool were consistently challenging for the top 4 spots, however, this year they are fighting to sneak into a European qualification spot and Konchesky has shown he can do a job at that level. He has been made a scapegoat for Liverpool's fall from grace, much like Roy Hodgson, and now leaves a club with ideas, currently, above their station.

I hope we make a few signings of our own, there have been some rumours flying about regarding who we are looking at and there is an interesting mix of attacking and defensive options. This seems like our first exciting January in a while, where there seems to be only talk of addition rather than subtraction. Although this may say more about our current crop of players rather than our ability to gold on to them, if you would rather look at the glass as half empty. I'm excited for tomorrow nights game and some new signing may push the current team to up their game.
