Not a knee jerk reaction, but Torres...

[kopdan]

fair comment. Not seen enough of the lad.

I'd go for Berbatov

I´m not saying that Jones is my first choice. Maybe Rafa would prefer Berbatov.
But I would like to hear some comments on Jones.

hey dont worry. I wasnt hassling you

[twistnkuyt]

is in my opinion the very best and most complete striker in the world.

Think about it, he has absolutely everything, a perfect number 9 that can walk into every top side in the world and improve them today.

I'm struggling to see a better total package than him, maybe Eto'o has the experience edge and is similar in his abilities, but his injuries has put him back somewhat.

I honestly can't rate anyone else higher than Torres and the fact that Rafa has identified him when he was going stale at Atletico after an average season for them, when the flavour of the month at the start of the summer was definitely Tevez, is another good reason why Rafa is the gaffa

Also after hie time at AM, and I realise they were HIS TEAM, I see Torres as someone with a bit of loyalty and can see him being with us for a long time to come. Can't wait till he's had his season to settle in.

berbatov is a direspectful little ****! not lfc matterial

I know.

[Joe King]

Do go on.

I can see the potential that Jones has being powerful, decent aerial presence but he doesn't have a good track record even in the Championship. At least when Crouch came was near the top of the scoring charts at Southampton and won an England cap. I could be wrong but Jones wouldn't be an improvement on Crouch

Kuyt being sold would be making sense. He lacks a goal threat. I would be happy if I was a defender to play against him. He runs everywhere besides in the box. He can have a work load of a horse but he is a striker and they are judged by goals not sweat on a shirt

Jones it is then?

Berbatov's attitude seems suspect, if we can believe what we hear.
Doubtful if Rafa will put up with that.

Decent footballer, but appears to be a bit of a ****.

[wiw]

I´m having a hard time thinking of a better fast striker then Torres. Ronaldo is still very good, Eto´o, Henry.

I´m not sure I would have any of them over Torres.

Agree, plus those other 3 are all on their way down..Torres is 23

He is playing in a ****e club. If he came here, I'm sure he would be more than happy to play for a title chasing club instead of a club fighting relegation at the mo. Rotation might be a problem but we never know. Jol didn't seem to be the man management expert that can handle big names.

you da man!

Fernando's an awesome player...I thought we played some very good football today...I had to work this morning, so I didn't catch the game until about 35 minutes in, but we looked good overall. Created a number of chances in the second half and were unlucky not to be ahead by the time Torres came on.

I thought Crouch and Voronin did a good job today, but Torres gave us that something extra when he came on. Superb solo effort for the goal--goes to show the difference a class striker can make.

Hope he stays fit from here on...he's definitely looking worth the money so far.

[Norbs]

May I make a case for Matty Taylor as our left sided defender?

Well, I disagree.
He signed for that club himself.
They pay him ****loads to play for them, not for acting like a spoilt brat when he understands that he can do better than Spurs.

Buckle up, play well and earn a move to a better club.
That is professional.
