Torres: Premier League could finish me

Fernando Torres believes the physical demands of Premier League football could catch up with him later in lifeLiverpool striker Fernando Torres fears playing in the Barclays Premier League could damage his health for life.

The 26-year-old, in his third season at Anfield following a move from Atletico Madrid, is currently sidelined with a knee surgery and battling to be fit to represent Spain at the World Cup.

Torres is quoted as saying in the News Of The World: "I just can't imagine what state I'll be in within five or six years if I continue to play here - it could easily give me problems when I stop playing. The physical level is superior to all other countries."

He added: "The Premier League is such a tough competition and I have always admired this championship and the players who are here,

"This is my third season and I'm still amazed to see (Steven) Gerrard, (Wayne) Rooney and (Frank) Lampard, players who have been here a long time, still playing at such a high level and with such impressive rhythm because the English league really wears down a player."

I wasn't suggesting any move to any perticular club tbh, but follwing Rafa out there, IF it happens, could be a distinct possibility, reading between the lines like.
Whatever, I REALLY don't like the sound of it, what with 'Monsters' contract talks stalling now too. eek

Fernando Torres says he only signed for Liverpool because Rafa Benitez is manager of the club.

The Liverpool striker - who has been linked with Juventus as part of the 'Rafa to Juve' situation that's still rumbling on - says he's happy working with the boss despite his ruthless streak.


"If Rafa had not been here I would never have come. He has taught me a lot and he has helped me go beyond my limits and to be the player I am today."


That's your thought seemingly blown out of the water then Emp? shocked

Could this be Torres' way of 'letting us all down' gently do you think?
P'raps he knows more what's going on than we all do?

All mere speculation at the moment granted, but this statement of his I personally find VERY worrying regarding him staying at Anfield.
I tend to read between the lines of everything that is said by everyone.
Call me a cynical owld barsteward if you so wish.

newspapers, if that rag qualifies, will constantly spout bile without anything to back it up. Theres going to be a lot of crap written about us this summer. Even more than usual cos we wont be in the champions league so I'll be ignoring/burying my head in sand for 99% of it
