KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Hypothetical Striker question

Which makes him no different from the average top-flight footballer to be honest - although i would add my usual caveat in that most other footballers who shafted their clubs for another didn'yt go to the extent of writing a book declaring their undividing love for their former club

We all thought Torres to be different - hence the intense dislike for his treachery

Also, whilst Torres has been at hids ineffective wirst throhyghout his miserable stint at Chelsea, it's not for lack of effort on his part

He loves Chelsea, his new surroundings, his teammates like Tery and Cole, and the Nazi-supporting vermin that make up the bulk of their support - whereas at Liverpool, he didn't have any time for his teammates, never turned up to any of the club's bonding sessions, saw training as too serious and didn't give a f*** about the fans - as evident in his submission of a transfer request once he heard news of Chelsea's interest

I don't think Torres will come back or want to. He was one of the best strikers I have ever seen at Anfield and I was privledged to see him play. You can argue all you likle about treachery and so forth but how many of todays footballers are truly loyal? If we could get another like Torres then we would be a top four and maybe even challenge for the title. Carroll was a massive mistake and we need to get out there and look to spend £30m on a striker. Whoever was involved in the decision to sign Carroll should take a back seat on the decision for a new striker.

Not many I agree - but we thought Torres was different because he told us he was - going to the extent of writing a book full of complete and utter lies to hammer home the point

You if you go to pains to make yourself out to be white than white, you can hardly complain when people start putting the boot in when yoiur actions are the opposite

And it's not just Liverpool fans. Torres was jeered when he played England - something unthinkable during his time with liverpool where he was often cited as one of the most liked footballers by non-Liverpool fans



There aren't too many like Torres (and by Torres I mean the striker who banged them in left, right and centre for Liverpool rather than that rat trying to ply his trade for Chelsea) - and there aren't any who we could currently entice to come here

That's the problem. Whoever we attempt to get entails making a gamble and hopng it goes right because as the Andy Carroll story shows even when you pay BIG money there are no guarantees

this torres debate still going on? jesus christ lol.

he's not now suddenly a crap player but he is not as depended upon at chelsea as he was at liverpool he doesnt have gerrard setting him up and he is not the main man at the bridge like we was at anfield which is why i think he isnt playing at the same level anymore. but we play a different system now so he wouldnt fit in ares currently now either.

we dont need torres.

Question for the people who want Torres (and Rafa) back: Do you really, honestly think he'll walk into the changeroom and say, "Sorry, lads, I was hopelessly wrong to want to leave; it's all my fault"?

Question B: Do you really think that NOT saying that will NOT leave reservations about him in the minds of those who were part of Rafa's squad?

Question C: Do you really think that even if people don't accept him instantly as a great signing he'll start banging them in at the same rate as before?

Question D: Did you really not answer 'no' to each of those 3 questions?

What about the new Torres can we sign him please where is he ?

sort of agree with you there Jim -Torres is nearing 28 and has not played well for nearly two years. He does not in anyway fit into the Liverpool way under FSG, same for Anelka and Owen and thats before we even look at wages etc. We want hungry, young, talented players.

We need pace and trickery and I quite like junior hoilett at Blackburn as he would supply some of that for a very reasonable fee. There will be better players in the market in Jan or the summer who we should target long before we even glance across at the has been Torres.
