But football clubs are rarely altruistic, especially with their rivals set to benefit, and as the fastest man to reach 50 goals for the Reds before ending up with 65 in 102 games for the Merseyside outfit, last winter's transfer surely shouldn't look like the near-charitable disaster that it is currently playing out to be for those in west London.
The former Atletico Madrid man should get the opportunity to prove that he's not completely gone off the boil against his former club in the League Cup on Tuesday, and having gone from Kop hero to Liverpool's great turncoat, Torres will need to put on an incredible show to prove he's worth the Russian petrodollars.
His current figures at Chelsea however, like those on the cheque that brought him to Bridge, are enough to make even Roman Abramovich wince.
