Liverpool defender Agger slams Torres: Chelsea move UNACCEPTABLE

Liverpool defender Dan Agger has branded Fernando Torres' move to Chelsea as "unacceptable". The Denmark defender admits he would never have made such a switch.

"I think it is unacceptable to play for one of Liverpool's arch rivals," said Agger. "For a Dane it is about having respect for the club you play at. I'm proud to pull on my Liverpool jersey and will never go to another club in England."

Agger produced a crunching tackle on Torres during the game at Stamford Bridge, which Liverpool won 1-0.

"Football is a contact sport," he shrugged. "Liverpool got a lot of money for him, so we wish him all the best, but, if the player doesn't want to be here any more, there's no reason to keep him."
