Lucas Urges Liverpool Team-Mates To Forget About Torres

Lucas Leiva has told his Liverpool team-mates to forget about Fernando Torres and believes they have enough quality to win major silverware.

Lucas was shocked to see Torres quit Anfield and make a £50m move to Chelsea last week.

The Spanish star failed to make any impact on his debut against his former club and suffered a nightmare start as Liverpool came away with a 1-0 victory.

Lucas admits it will take them time to get over the departure of Torres, but feels the club have made two excellent signings in Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez and can achieve big things in the next few years.

Lucas said: "It has been a big surprise for us that Torres has left, but we have to accept the decision and wish him luck.

"There is no doubt that Fernando is a great forward, but we cannot think about that anymore. Carroll and Suarez are two excellent strikers and I am convinced they will be a major success for the club."
