Torres to Chelsea is not a news anymore.

I was a happy kid in 2007 when he signed for Liverpool and committed to be a Red for life. Writing about him was a natural act of adoration for the new idol I would eventually detest 4 years later.

Few days prior him leaving Melwood for Cobham, I stood by his pledge to remain a Red for life and announced to the world that money might buy your wife a Coach handbag, not Fernando Torres.

I was wrong, because few days and £50m later, Roman Abramovich broke the bank to get Torres together with a nice Coach handbag he might have already bought for his wife.

I am against the idea of vilifying a certain player just because he left a club, because that is what players naturally do - they come and go, stray like a hungry vulture craving for sustenance to live the next day.

The closest thing to a silverware Torres got with Liverpool was 2008/2009 season when Liverpool finished second, four points behind Manchester United. It is only natural when he backs his judgment in joining Chelsea to win silverware, and some hefty salary along the way. It was an offer he could not refuse.

But I can't help to be mad to see him leaving for a rival team. Xabi Alonso left for Real Madrid and Javier Mascherano for Barcelona and they both escaped the ridicule for the decency. Torres in an interview after being an official Blue said in much pleasure that he is so happy to 'finally' play for a big club. Right in the face of millions Liverpool fans - including me.

King Kenny threw his class by saying no one is bigger than the club and the most important people in Liverpool are the one who wants to stay in Liverpool. Well as for me, no single player is above the other in Liverpool and I am glad to see a sulky boy leaving than paying him money when he doesn't want to play for the club.

There was life after Keegan, there was life after Dalglish, and there was life after Rush. Surely, there will be life after Torres.

Because Andy Carroll, Luis Suarez and the rest of the team will give the life Liverpool fans deserve.

Life starts now.

P.S. My prayer to everyone in Egypt and all over the world.
