Hughes: Cruz is better than Torres

[Alan Key]

This is hilarious, I'm still wondering how Hughes' statement above has turned into an off the field merchandising argument, this forum is great

Absolutely incredible, I agree.

Nic, are you glad we signed Torres at his price, or would you prefer we'd signed Cruz for his smaller fee? Simple question.

That's irrelevant, we are a far superior team and Cruz isn't good enough for us so it can't be answered

[the rev leeroy brown]

at their respective fees, who do you think blackburn would have preferered to sign though?

Torres.

bollocks!!!

[Nic83]

As I said before, he's better value for them, Torres is better value for us.

:baffled:

That statement might be good if you substituted the word value for something else

[Angry Dan]

That's irrelevant, we are a far superior team and Cruz isn't good enough for us so it can't be answered

So it would not have been good value to but him at 3.5 mil then?

You do make me laugh.

Torres.

So you think they'd have liked to buy Torres andmost probably put themselves in debt and have had no money at all for any other players?

I think they'd have preffered to buy a top striker for pittence who wasn't Torres even though he's not AS good as Torres, while keeping the club's finances in the positive and also having money for other signings. Maybe I'm wrong though.

What do you mean incredible? ARE you DJ Syd!

I'll "but" him if he scores tomorrow!

I'm not privy to their finances but if they were offered the option of signing
those 2 players at the price and they could afford Torres, they would buy him. Without doubt and that is before what he has done this year.

Problem is here, Torres wouldn't have heard of Blackburn.

Who gives a sh*t?

[spud_gun]

You are Wrong IMO. Torres scores 3/2 times the goals cruz has yet Torres cost about 6/1 times the money.

What does that mean?

[rage]

i'd happily add cruz to our team in the transfer window if he was available. obviously not in torres league but would compliment him really well and already have had ayear in the premiership.

[dww]

Who gives a sh*t?

Nic83 I assume.

[Angry Dan]

I wonder if he is any good in goal
