The departure of Torres was the end of the innocence for me and I was never troubled by a departure since then.
I was pretty disappointed by Alonso leaving before that as well
Alonso was a damn shame but understandable, especially after how he was treated by Rafa the summer before.
 
I have mixed feelings about Alonso's departure. IMO Rafa should have let him attend the birth of his child but, once Rafa said no, it was naïve at best from Alonso to expect to get away scot-free with ignoring a manager's instructions. I'd have done the same as Alonso did, but I would have accepted that there'd be consequences and not seen my @rse over it.

Indeed, though subsequent events seem to indicate that Xabi is very career focused and driven by individual success primarily, so would probably have wanted to leave regardless.
 
I think the last departure that actually hurt in the sense of being genuinely upset was Dean Saunders to Villa. I left primary school the following summer and stopped being sentimental about footballers around the same time.

I will admit to being a bit wistful about this gradual disintegration of Klopp's great team, though. I'm not really sure why. I know it was a great team but I don't think that's the reason. Maybe I'm just getting old.
 
Yeah, "hurt" is the wrong word. I wasn't hurt by any of them. Only Suarez still had something left to give, but he was a total dick and I expected it.
If you were to change the question to which departure "annoyed" me the most then it would be Trent, hands down, as much for the manner of his departure as anything else.
 
Bobby and Sadio left with the fans blessings
Phil, Fern and louis forced a move and we got something and if it wasn't for Phil moving we may have not got some of our targets
Trent and McMoneyman did the club dirty and ran down their contracts
 
Right, maybe "hurt" is the wrong word. I was also most annoyed by Trent, based on all the things that he had said previously and is saying now. I think Suarez was the biggest loss for the team.
Exactly this.

Personally the other ones leaving didn't really hit me that hard. Sadio and Firmy were past it and the rest (except Trent) left because we were shit and they wanted to win shit.

So I voted Trent, cause fuck him. I don't think I'll ever really forgive the cunt.
 
Owen hurt. Robbie hurt.

Torres was finished anyway. Suarez wanted out for long enough. His departure was disappointing more than hurtful.
 
Trent had always given me the impression he was playing for himself first and foremost. I didn't know why he was given the vice captaincy, he had never displayed any signs of leadership. All those back and forth between him signing the contract or not was pointless to me; I knew in my gut he wasn't going to sign. Once it happened it was over, I wasn't really too bother in the end. I will always be looking out for Real's results hoping they will lose everytime though.

I was upset over Suarez, he was a brilliant player, probably the best I have seen despite being a nutjob.
 
I find the "Torres broke my heart and I have never loved another player since" such a cliché; it seems to be true for about 80% of the current fanbase.

Personally, the one that killed me was Illori ... i never got to see him play, even for the reserves
 
Torres, for sure. We'd put together a top class team that could compete, watched it ebb away, and then saw a transformational attacker leave us for a direct rival.

Didn't turn out well for him or them and we eventually recovered. But it definitely reinforced that you can't count on loyalty and that we were not high enough on the totem pole to withstand advances from other clubs.

It helped to prepare the way for later departures like Suarez, Coutinho, and Trent, all of whom were players you'd have loved to keep but their loss just didn't hurt in quite the same way.

It's cliche but it's probably as that's most modern fans first love as they were growing up. Going to direct rival as well is always a shitter as well.
 
It has to be Torres just because it was so unexpected. Followed by Trent because of the manner of how it happened
 
disappointed and annoyed. Torres and Suarez

Torres I could Almost forgive because of Gillette and hicks awfulness. Suarez was always going - not surprising.

Trent is another level of annoyance. Didn’t realize he was just a me feiner. Thought he was in it for the club and the collective.

Now he’s fan boying it around a rival club I cannot stand.
 
i still have time for torres, the club was a state back then and football careers are short. a couple of his spanish mates left in the previous window too didn’t they?

what type of hurt are we actually talking here? fan emotions or the clubs progress?
 
Torres, because I texted all my Liverpool supporting mates telling them he's not leaving based on inside info which I probably read from this forum. Boy that made me look like a right twat.
 
Gotta be Suarez for me. Torres was already collecting injuries and downing tools. Something about Barca coming back for Suarez after already taking Mascherano. That final realization this wouldn’t be the last time one of those giants would steal our best player.
