Torres?

Reading this thread proves one thing, until the player has played for us we have no idea what kind of impact he will have. So Barry, Valencia and whoever will win us the title.

Looks like DJS was wrong for once, I wonder if he will admit it this time

Eh? I called it spot on, i'm a genius

Must admit it brought a smile to my dial

Well my day so far has consisted of being at work, so it wasn't hard to "make it"

It was the reason I bumped this post up, to highlight how little we actually know and to reserve judgement until a player has signed and has had a least half-a-season under his belt.

There are a myriad of other posts with ludricous claims, overhyping or slandering of players who have since proved otherwise, if you are having a slow day,, stuck in work, have a look.

I must confess, it was DJS' expert opinion which made this one stand out.

It's human nature, even the pros get it wrong sometimes.

Who WOULDNT have taken Morientes? Or Shevchenko?

Both flopped. Doesnt mean Jose Mourinho (if he indeed was the one who wanted Sheva) or Rafa 'know little'.

Jose Mourinhio and Rafa are marginally more likely to admit they're wrong though

Guillem Ballague called both the Fernando's correctly (well in terms of success)

Maybe we should let him decide who we should sign

Not only did AFII post this about Torres, but he also picked the formation that we have settled on this season with Torres. That's impressive. I know he's much derided on here, but I think he usually has the right idea.

Ooops!

Also not sure why Rafa supposedly doubted Tevez's mentality. He works as hard as Kuyt...if such a thing is possible.

He does, he would be excellant in Kuyt's role, or on the opposite side (left). He is like Masher, flat out until the whistle blows.
