Chelsea have apparently offered Fernando Torres back to his former club Liverpool as they look to offload the striker in the summer, according to Caught Offside. The Blues are desperately trying to get rid of the player they signed in a £50 million deal from Anfield in January 2011, but they are yet to find a suitor.
The 29-year-old has been given plenty of chances at Stamford Bridge, but he seems to be a shadow of the player he once was when he scored 81 goals in 142 appearances for the Reds. Torres appears short on confidence and has now gone another twelve Premier League games without scoring, making it 14 goals in 75 league games for the club.
Spanish club Atletico Madrid were keen to hand Torres a return to Spain to rejoin his boyhood side, but no deal has been struck yet. However, Chelsea are looking for options to move the striker on quickly and they will offer Liverpool his services. The Blues still owe their Premier League rivals £15 million as part of the instalment payments for Torres’s services and they hope Liverpool will let them waive that for Torres to move back to Merseyside.
Torres still divides opinion amongst Liverpool fans; indeed plenty still feel he could offer them a good option up front if he returned. He became a hero of the Kop after joining for £26.5 million in 2007, but he rather ruined his reputation by signing for Chelsea. However, a returning Torres might find the goalscoring touch again if he went back to his former side and it might be worth Liverpool’s while, considering how lethal he was for the club before.
University rankings are being mentioned all the time, with comments coming from governments, journalists, universities, independent companies and higher education experts.
While some universities dismiss the rankings, others are keen to use them to show off their strengths – and also to improve aspects where they do not compare so well with others.
Students are the forgotten majority in this whirlwind – and yet university rankings are a useful tool for students, often primarily designed with them in mind. Read on for some tips on using the rankings to choose a university:
Tip 1
Deciding on a university is a challenging decision. You’ve probably had words of wisdom on this subject from your parents/ their friends, famous people, Nobel prize winners, your friends’ sisters’ uncle (the list goes on), all of them raving about the university they went to.
Listen, but remember it’s you and what you want out of university that is the important factor. Think about what’s most important for you: the course content, future career opportunities, tuition fees, weather, university brand or social atmosphere...

Tip 2
Another aspect to consider is location – which should help to narrow down your university choices. Some countries, such as Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Germany, have lower tuition fees and are also increasing the number of degrees taught in English.
As well as language, you may also want to consider living costs, local climate and culture, and quality of life.

Tip 3
Choosing a subject is, for many students, the most easy part – most students will have already selected subjects to specialize in while at school.
For some it’s harder, and it may be worth taking a gap year to really discover your passion.
Once you’ve decided, research which universities are best for your subject. A university may have an overall high ranking, but might not have a strong background in the particular subject you want to study.

Tip 4
Having used rankings and done your research, it’s time to get back to talking to people. Speak to alumni of universities you’re interested in, and if you can, attend their open days.
If this is not possible, you could attend an event such as the QS World Grad School Tour, where you can meet representatives of universities from around the world, to help you reach that final decision.
Final advice: Use the rankings wisely and if you prefer a warmer a warmer climate then search for a university in a hot country, but don’t let sunshine hours alone be your deciding factor!
