Ya, I definitely misread that 60k earlier. I think it is 110.
As for other news, I read an article somewhere lately that actually had a few good explanations for why the timing seems so weird for this late offer from Chelsea and request from Torres.
First, apparently Abramovich has coveted Nando for a while, and obviously made an effort for him this summer. I guess he likes him even more after the last time Liverpool played Chelsea.
Also, he's eligible to join their Champion's League campaign. Not many other top strikers would be able to transfer and play in the CL during this window.
There was also the matter of knowing Torres would be willing to leave, which I think happened later in the window, according to the article I can't find again. So the timing makes sense for Chelsea, but it sure sucks for LFC. Pragmatically, the season is basically a write off for LFC, with no hope of the top 4 really. The only real attainable goal now is to keep a Europa League spot. I just hope he's sold for an extreme amount that will turn into some quality players in the summer.
