Very true, and it's hard to admit being a Manchester United fan. Though I can safely say that Liverpool are not going to end their domestic drought any time soon. They do not have the consistency to compete over 38 games, and that's something you cannot buy. It comes from years of chemistry, and sheer class, both of which Liverpool lack.
That being said, no denying that Torres is a great player. Just cut out the diving and he will be a favourite in the EPL.

Rio Ferdinand: £30 million
Wayne Rooney: £27.1 Million
Owen Hargreaves: £20 Million
Anderson and Nani: £30 Million
Michael Carrick: £18 Million
Carlos Tevez: Possible £30 Million
etc. etc.

Can't buy class eh?

With all of his success at club level this season one should not forget just how take note on his international career. Torres is precisely what Spain desperately needs for the upcoming Euro Championships; speed,instinct, superb finishing and what the Spaniards have lacked the most in recent tournaments; inspiration.
Partnered up front with David Villa, Torres is more than liekly to add his current international tally of 8 goals (3 of which came at WC06) and is an integral reason why there is more optimisim than ever before for Spain to take their first international title since 64.

Torres is the business .. if he took penalties, Ronaldos EPL tally would pale in comparisons to his ..

Torres is the sensation of the moment and years to come. If there doesn't appear one of those merceneries like the one that broke Eduardo in recent weeks..once he gets used to the english tipe of game he will be very good.

"Torres has also replaced Real Madrid icon Raul as the focal point of the Spanish national team"
Sorry Mr. Molinaro, I can tell you haven't been watching Spain during the Euro qualifiers if you come up with statements like that. Here are some stats during for the Euro qualifiers.
Fernando Tores: 2 goals and 0 assists,
David Villa; 7 goals and 2 assists,
Andres Iniesta: 3 goals and 3 assists,
Xavi: 4 goals and 1 assist
Sergio Ramos (right back): 2 goals and 0 assist.
Torres has been sensational for Liverpool, but he has been dreadful for the national team. As of now Sergio Ramos, Casillas, Iniesta and David Villa are much more important than him. When he was at Atletico Madrid, he wasn't even among the best strikers in the league; Eto'o, Villa, Diego Milito, and yes both Kanoute and Diego Forlan played much better than him IMO.
Torres only began realizing his huge potential at Liverpool, before that in la liga I was far from impressed was his performances.

Torres is a class act, and no doubt Crouch will be looking elsewhere if he is not featured regularly in the first team. Torres and Stevie G have developed an almost telepathic partnership, it is a pleasure to watch in the premiership despite not being a fan of the reds, it is absolute magic. Still, Peter Crouch is a class act, referees and pundits/commentators alike enjoy to reduce the man to a lanky stork that can play a bit of footy... Torres is leagues ahead of crouch as a striker and that is cause he has mini-rocket engines for feet which provide him with galaxies full of pace. As much as Torres has swept myself and the rest of the premier league of its feet, Crouch still deserves some plaudits if not for being as regular scorer of goals when he is featured ( the man's england record is impeccable, although I am not sure what that is saying at the moment given the state of the england squad) he starts in the arsenal league game and makes an impact with a goal to boot. He has a surprising amount of skill for a lanky Englishman who has self-admittedly confessed that he would not have been with a girl if it weren't for football (his current lady is pretty cute too). If not given games Crouch should move to Man City or something of the like. And if soccer fans aren't given good insight, this writer's salary should be halved, with one half going to someone else, so at the very least we can get two shitenly obvious opinions instead of one uneducated one. (Ronaldo is prolific as any in front of the net and he likes to go down easily as well, why not write about him, come on Chelski! The league to the blues, and Brighton in the playoffs x)

As a kop, i cant hide my delight that we finally have a player who can and will score at least 20 EPL goals in a season. I have hope that we will end our drought soon whether we have the so called "chemistry between the players" or not. With el nino and Steve G, we just need one consistent and clinical finisher and we would certainly remember the good old days!

great start to his career at liverpool no dispute, but some observers are getting carried away. if he can maintain this form over two seasons then we can call him legit.
as far as the national stage goes, i do not understad where molinaro is coming from on that one, torres has much to prove and one would have to say has been rather disappointing for spain, no where near the caliber of raul right now.

Chemistry may not be bought, but class and consistency certainly are. In order to compete with the likes of Chelsea and Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal have to buy more class across all positions.

In terms of a starting 11, it doesn't get any better than Arsenal, and this is coming from a Liverpool fan. At the same time, Liverpool does boast a strongest 11 capable of matching any team, although it had not been the case against United, and only United this season.

The rotation policy Rafa constantly cops flak for is precisely how United and Chelsea maintain their consistency, but only because they have bought enough class to rotate without criticism. It is rotation that made Liverpool strong now as the season draws to a close, where Arsenal is clearly exhausted.

In Torres, we have a player with a huge part to play in ending Liverpool's League title drought, which should come about duly in 2 seasons. Our reserves are 6 points clear at the top of their league and it is only a matter of blooding these youngsters before we have a squad capable of producing the consistency that expensively built squads like Chelsea and Man U have.

Arsenal have shown that the best starting 11 is not enough to push through a whole season where Rafa has demonstrated the success of rotation in being able to compete at the business end of the season. Nonetheless, it is not a class starting 11 but a class starting 20 one needs to rotate and yet play at a top level consistently. This is something that requires spending either over time like United have done or at a shot like Chelsea. 8-10 games more at full potential is what makes the difference in a league table.

Very true, and it's hard to admit being a Manchester United fan. Though I can safely say that Liverpool are not going to end their domestic drought any time soon. They do not have the consistency to compete over 38 games, and that's something you cannot buy. It comes from years of chemistry, and sheer class, both of which Liverpool lack.
