Torres worship thread

[stringy]

am i the only one thinking that he is a bit ****?














This is the kuyt thread????

[AFII]

I would get in Anelka as cover.

Aguero.

[Morph]

Aguero.

bit of a price difference no?

[Johnny]

I`d like to wait and see how Babel progresses as a striker before splashing out on a big money big name striker.Replacing him on the LW is more important at the moment.

bit of a price difference no?

Anelka would probably cost £15m+.
Aguero costs £22m.

Not that much difference and Aguero is the better option if you consider that he is younger, has the ability to become the best player in the world in a few years time, can play in more positions than Anelka, and is a team player.

Both of them are good goalscorers but Aguero is the better all around player.

He is also at least as quick as Torres with a great first touch.

If you want the better player for the future(3+ years)...Aguero.
If you only consider this season and maybe next...Anelka.

Aguero will limit our attacking options somewhat because he can't play alone up front. Great player but I'd like a pure striker ahead of him (Not Anelka though).

i really don't think anelka would be 15mil+, i think he'd be lucky to command more than 9mil

How do you know Aguero is available for £22m AF?

[AFII]

How do you know Aguero is available for £22m AF?

That's his buy-out clause.

[peekay]

That is his buyout clause. Atletico are trying to make him sign a new contract with an improved release clause but so far he has not signed it.

[Kopite_Colin]

OK thanks to both of you.

[Morph]

too much of an outlay imo at this moment

[Kopite_Colin]

So with approx. £17m need for Mascher too, we would need £40m for him and Mascher without the CB we desperately need.

Out:

Carson: £10m
Riise: £4-5m
Momo: £8-10m
Crouch: £10m

Total income = £32m (minimum)

So the net outlay necessary for Aguero, Mascherano & CB would need to be of the order of £16-20m (Assuming the CB will cost £8-10m)

That still leaves us without a much needed winger. And without Crouch's goals (as Aguero would be unproven). Somewhat of arisk - although I have to admit I know very little about Aguero.

[AFII]

Well, it's probably now or never. If he signs a new deal then the price will be £40m+ instead of £22m.

It all depends on how much money Rafa can spend because that position isn't our most important to strengthen right now.

We need a central defender and one out and out winger more.

If Liverpool’s supporters are smiling after a fifth consecutive victory that has helped to ease much of the tension around Anfield, here is something to make them chuckle: Manchester United passed up the chance to sign Fernando Torres in the summer because they felt that he lacked composure in front of goal. United also doubted his desire to forge a career in England after he had rejected their previous overtures to stay at Atlético Madrid. Old Trafford’s loss is proving to be Anfield’s gain.
