Fernando Torres

[Shaggy]

I don't know about you but I don't see Torres being rotated as our previous strikers have been in the past. I think he will start the majority of our games.

I would love to hear Lecter's views on Torres now. I remember the stick he used to give him (when he was linked with us) on Koptalk whilst me, Sarb, Tomasj and a few others would defend him.

"We'll never sign Torres"

You're right. You don't pay around £20m to rotate the bloke. Obviously he'll need a rest here and there but for the most part we've gotta play him every week and rotate Crouch, Voronin and Kuyt around him.

[peekay]

Dont wanna hijack this thread but a special mention for Babel that rocket shot of his with minimal backlift
Looks like all our attacking players have the ability to make things happen,they just seem to have the ability to do things like controlling the ball a few milliseconds less than players like Bellamy and thats just shows in our attacking play.Now even I am not sure if I have conveyed what I wanna convey Hope I haven't confused yall.

I thought it was a good game for him today. I thought he tried to hard today as he slowly got tired towards the end and wasn't making them runs in behind the defenders. Its up to him to continue his hard work next week

[MascheredUp]

He defo loves playing against the big sides and usually scoring (in Spain).

I've seen him rip up Barca and Madrid on his own a few times.

If he does that here, he'll be a ****in legend.

[Red_Al_77]

He better score more than 14 goals this season on the basis of the stick Kuyt gets otherwise he's ****ed.

as long as we don't start using 'work rate' in every discussion about him I'm sure we'll be fine

[Joe King]

Work rate doesn't get goals. Van Horse was a lazy **** but got plenty of goals and won the title for the Scum. Dont know about anyone else, but I would certainly want to see more goals and hopefully titles

Can anyone find a vidoe of when Torres used the mouthing gesture with his hand at Terry,priceless.

He sassed mongo??


Legend

When you see a Spanish striker bullying england's 'best' CB, it doesn't bode well for the national team. And to think that whinging tosser is his nation's captain. hmm.

Who gives a **** about "the national team"? I'd rather Torres score a hat-trick against England and Spain win 5-0...

"We'll never sign Torres"

Lecter makes out he's got some sort of insider knowledge but yet again he's been proved wrong which is probably why we rarely hear from him nowadays. When I revealed in March that the stadium plans were being revised and increased from 60,000 to 78,000 'Insider' Lecter said there was no way that could happen...

[andyinswinton]

I think it goes to show that when you spend £20million+ on a player, you are buying somebody very special indeed. I think we have been waiting for somebody like this for a very long time.

Imagine if Bellamy had scored a goal like that.

Bellamy had an entire season with us and never once scored a goal as good as that or demonstrated such class. His replacement, Torres, has shown it on his home debut.

He's gonna be GREAT player for us.

[anfieldanfield]

I've been raving about Torres for years, wanted him ahead of Tevez, Bent and all the others.

Pure class. Tremendous goal.

Loved his duel with Terry. Fouls him, slaps the slit-eyed racist on the cheek and puts his finger to his lips.

Top work El Nino. It will be Torres +1 up front this season.
