the man is finished why do people keep harping on about Torres, its just typical of Liverpool fans living in the past and showing too much sentiment, has'nt sentiment already killed our once great Club... I don't understand why you keep harping about LFC if you feel that our once great club is already dead. its not completely dead, its only dead as regards winning leagues and competing at the very top, we still have alot going for us and we can still be competative, teams like Hull City, Hartlepool United and Crewe's of this world are even further down the food chain yet there fans still find enjoyment and happiness in supporting the Club's they love, so we should'nt feel any different just because we are no longer the big Club we once were. I personaly am enjoying this season, the results are not that good but the football is better to watch and I am enjoying Rogers giving the younger players a fair go, I feel I am getting better value for my season ticket than last season regarding enjoyment, not the end of the world if we dont win the league for me or play champions League I have been it, seen it and done it when supporting the club was at its best years ago it so its not so important, just want enjoyment and value for my season ticket now which i feel is starting to improve a bit.

I would take him for 15 million. 20 if we could get rid of Cole and some more of the dead wood. I think he would be very suited to this style of play actually. He won the golden boot during the Euros for Spain, even though he only played from the bench. We need a proper no. 9 who can finish, and he is that. He's lost a little pace, but the technical ability is still there. With Suarez and Sterling/Assaidi on either side, he'll get plenty of Space to work with. He would also be a player who would add some much needed experience to our side. Even if he only scored 10-15 goals, that would help us a lot, and he would work well with Suarez (who we originally bought to partner with him). One thing about his game that I actually thought improved while he was at Chelsea is his passing, and last season he created a lot of chances for them.
Maybe I'm caught up in the romance of the idea, but few things would make me happier than him coming back where he belongs and scoring again. He may go back to Spain though. Wouldn't blame him there.

I heard today.....off a guy online who is usually pretty reliable with LFC club news especially..that LFC have offered to take Torres on loan from CFC in Jan, the catch being if LFC make top 4 then we will have to stump up around 18m at the end of the season.
All speculation but might be a decent way of seing if he can actually regain his old form and start banging in goals again!

I would take that offer in a heartbeat. It'd be a low-risk option, too. Pick up him and another decent striker, and I would be very happy.

Torres is only talking about LFC because he wants people to remember how special he was. (maybe to generate a move to spain)
We went through the same issues chelsea have, in that he scores and everyone says he has his confidence back and this is the new beginning.
Could it be that he actually played above himself for liverpool? His strike rate was never that good, and he doesn't really do it for spain either.
He was amazing at creating a yard of space and that was it. He always got carried away thinking he can beat men and became frustrating. Gerrard was a major driven threat back then so defenders got pulled away creating extra space.
I'd play Ian Rush if he scored goals like he did.

torres will never be the same player again imo. even if he does recapture his form, at £25m i do not think he's worth the risk.
for a team that dominates games but blatantly struggling to score goals, signing a 29 year old striker whos been out of form for 2 and a half years is surely not the answer.
he turned his back on us, so why offer more than what he is worth to bring him back here. torres doesn't deserve anything from LFC. it will never happen anyway. its said to see him the way he is now but i think for most fans its time to get over him and move on.

Wouldn't fit br system? What is br system he keeps changing it anyway.
Oh and what system do Spain play with? I suppose he doesn't fit into that either
Read between my lines.
