Torres for me.
Just signalled a real downturn in who we were and about.
Alonso was a damn shame but understandable, especially after how he was treated by Rafa the summer before.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
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.Alonso was a damn shame but understandable, especially after how he was treated by Rafa the summer before.
Torres broke me, and made me refuse to fall in love with players again.
If Torres went back to Spain, it would have hurt less.
Exactly this.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.
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
