Fernando Torres

[dww]

Is he?? Or is he simply the best? Thats a tough one

To be called that he will have to do it consistently for a few seasons in my book.

Dont forget he doesn't take penalties either - Fowler did.Im a massive Fowler fan but i have to say id rather have Torres

Important point - all his goals are from open play He is a more complete player than Fowler was but let's see how it goes for the next couple of seasons

Gotta kind of agree with that. We also played more attacking football back in Fowler's day. The premiership is a lot tougher/physical now too.

Torres 	Liverpool 	5
Defoe  	Portsmouth  	5
Zaki 	 Wigan 	             5
Agbonlahor Aston Villa 	4
Anelka 	Chelsea 	4
Carew 	Aston Villa 	4
Davies 	   Bolton 	4
Adebayor Arsenal 	3
Bednar 	West Brom 	3
Cole 	     West Ham 	3
Crouch 	Portsmouth 	3
Elano 	Man City 	3
Fuller 	Stoke 	  3
Geovanni   Hull 	        3
Mido 	    Middlesbrough 	3

Torres = way overpriced. We could have bought Zaki!

Does he have a youtube vid for any potential suitor

[Tee]

Torres is ours, all ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second season syndrome was a worry but I believe he will be even better this season. A true legend in the making.

is Torres too Tranny for you then 'Hex?

Question is, can he beat Fowler's 100 in 165?

Good question that, he is with a decent chance. As others have said, no pens or free kicks. Would be an awesome effort and put in perspective his awesomeness

I am having my first son in January and I am almost willing him to be born now, and grow at an unprecedented, dead fast rate so he can see and appreciate Torres now. Nando will be about 30 by the time my lad starts getting into it and I'm gutted for him that he's missing this super-striker of awe and wonder in his pomp. What a player. The finest centre-forward in the whole ruddy world, and he's ours.

Just thought this was worth quoting, great post.

Well that's a given, surely

I reckon about 15 of Fowlers 1st 100 goals were penalties. So based on that it would be a real achievment if Torres scored 85 goals in 165 appearances.

Can i just stress im not knocking Robbie in any way, he is an absolute legend and my 2nd favourite ever Liverpool player. However i just rate Torres as a better all round striker

[Marky]

He is something very, very special. Im just priviliged to be able to watch this man strut his stuff in the red of Liverpool.

[BFG]

I just hope defenders keep kicking him because once he's been booted he seems to get this steeley look in his eye and you know he's going to score. Legend.

no in fairness to robbie he only scored 20 pens all together for us and I know he scored a few second time around with us.

[Craig_H]

If he manages to score 'just' 20 goals in the remaining 31 league games, he'll have 25 league goals this season - which would be a superb return, during the dreaded '2nd season'.

If Torres keeps up that ratio of goals per game it will take him 150 to reach 100 goals

No Pressure though

Love the man. He is a moody ****er when it's not going his way, but that is what you want to see. He is a winner and the best striker in the World.

Aye, but not moody in the Baros/Cisse mould. Those gob****es would go missing for the game but Torres is always looking for a way. Remember Sunderland (and even Everton), out of the game for a lenghty period and then EL SCORCHIO!

Love him!
