Don't think emperor would agree Joel!!!
Anyway - Torres has aspects of target man about him. He is big, strong and holds the ball up well. In addition to being lightning fast, skillful and with the ability to beat a player.
That's why he's the best striker in the world.
We need a mix of the two - I think a bit of pace up front, and someone who can bring others into play by holding it up.
Crouchy was a target man, and as much as he's a cult hero, we lacked the outlet of pace from a ball over the top. Which meant defences could play higher up the pitch and crowd out the midfield, thus Xabi and Stevie wouldn't get time on the ball.
We need pace up front to stretch a game.
This is why I was suggesting in another quote to not buy anyone for that role and push Jay Spearing up front. He has tonnes of skill and alot of pace to burn.
