Official "Fernando Torres is a red" thread

[red g]

This kid signing for us is just feeling better and better.
Disregard the fact that some of our previous strikers have flopped, and lets watch him with an open mind, he's going to be under enough pressure due to the fee.
I just pray that Rafa doesnt use him as a workhorse and lets the boy play his normal game.
This is the first genuinely exciting signing IMO, that we have made since Collymore, perhaps even Barnes.
Alonso will have a field day now he's got a genuine goal threat in front of him with good pace and movement to pass to, I predict Xabi to have an outstanding season.
I cant fcuking wait to see the lad run out at Anfield.
He's going to be a legend for us.

for stevie as well remember those balls he used to love playing for the midget?

Quality- we get an elf & they get Schmiegel.

supposedly the crow is not happy about being backup striker. He has a lot of confidence and in training has been knocking them in for fun

[Tee]

Will his shirt be 9 F.Torres, or just 9 Torres?

Very true fella, and im sure Stevie will relish having a genuine target to aim for.
I mentioned Xabi as his passing is the strongest part of his game IMO, something which we didnt see enough of last season which in part was down to our lack of a serious goal threat.

..and also our lack of intelligent movement out wide as you have said. Hopefully that will be remedied too this window.

Also it used to take Barry about 1-2 hours to get ready for a match due to a niggling injury. He says it is now fully healed and he is ready in about 30 mins (still needs massage therapy)

FERNANDO TORRES’ “passion for Liverpool” was the key to Rafa Benitez smashing Liverpool’s transfer record to land the Spanish striker.

The 23-year-old passed a medical last night and was due to be unveiled at Anfield today.

And delighted boss Benitez said: “Atletico Madrid had better offers and the player had better offers.

“But he always wanted to join Liverpool. That was the key for me.
“We needed to work hard because there were other clubs who wanted him that we knew about - other clubs offering more money.

“But the player said straight away ‘I want to join Liverpool’. He said we were his first choice and that was the key for me.

“He has taken a pay cut to come here. Okay he is still on a very good contract because he is a top player. But to be a successful club you need players with passion and Fernando has passion.”

Liverpool completed a £20m deal yesterday, with the £5m rated Luis Garcia moving in the opposite direction, and Benitez added: “I am happy for everybody at the club, for George Gillett and Tom Hicks who agreed to sanction the deal and for Rick Parry who worked hard to make it happen.

Was probably man city and west ham. who else?? AC? Barce? dont think so! still think he would have joined us no matter who it was though!

[Laddsy]

Okay now what you didnt know

Barry reads everything about him and he will probably be gone next year because he feels no matter what he does he will never be welcome.

but trust me he will blitz it this season. mark my words

Saw an interview with him on SBS and apparently he has hired his own physio as he needs to be worked on for 2 1/2hrs per match
