Dalglish disappointed by Torres timing
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish was disappointed with the timing of the Fernando Torres' transfer saga but insists the club have already moved on.
The Spain international requested a move to Chelsea late last week after an initial £35million bid was rejected by the Merseysiders.
By Monday he had completed his £50million switch to Stamford Bridge, with Liverpool bringing in club record signing Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez for a combined £57.8million.
In subsequent interviews Torres has claimed he has joined a side who can fulfil his ambitions but Dalglish brushed aside any perceived slight on his club. He also said principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner had tried to persuade the 26-year-old to stay but to no avail.
"I don't know what he has had to say since he joined (Chelsea) - I only knew what he said when he was here," said the Scot as he batted away questions about Torres' comments. "For me, everyone was disappointed he left the club. What was most disappointing was his timing but we have got on with our life and the football club will always be here.
"We will never ever put any one person in front of this club. The owners did everything they possibly could but it wasn't to be. He moved on and is playing for someone else now."
