Serious question, would you take Torres back in January? He's apparently available on a free.. Only scored once for Milan, still only 30..

No, he's shite and on huge wages

Can't be any worse than what we have right now. Depends on who is available and what we're paying him.

We should have learnt by now that we shouldn't be going for strikers Milan are desperately trying to ship out

Not saying he would be our first choice, but right now we're operating with 1 striker.

[KaiNo7]

Skrtel looked more of a threat than any of our strikers recently, start him up front with sterling just behind him.its not as ludicrous as it sounds

He's shite and passed it. People really need to move on.

Who knows, how his form would be in Liverpool. Maybe its something about Liverpool that makes him perform. If Johnson leaves in January then i would take him to balance out the wages, maybe on a year long contract. Cant be any worse than our current forwards.

Good god no.

This.


For modest wages, I don't see why not. Anything above 50K and no thank you.

He's on over £200k per week right now, over the course of a year that's over £10 million.

Rather we invested in a player like Lacazette who is fast and would fit our system and knows where the net is

You don't think he'd take a pay cut to play for Liverpool again?

[Redman0151]

No, and if you take the romance out of it and watch his performances in the last few years you'll see he's nowhere near good enough. There's better options out there

[diegoLFC7]

No its obvious his form has been tragic, and there are definitely better options out there but we can't seem to get them in. When we have them close we reject them do to a preventative heart condition. We went in for 4 attackers that have been stellar this year and got none. Ill be bitter about the Loic Remy fiasco for years.

Yes it fucking is

[Qcase1977]

No.

Please can we all now learn a simple thing. Get a good striker in. That is very important. Fucking please.

[CraigDS]

Fucking hell. I know times are desperate but Torres?

What an utter car crash that would be. He isn't the player we once knew, and I don't think he exists anymore either. The level he is at, and has been at for a long while now, is no better than if we played one of the kids up there.

[Qcase1977]

Yes great. Let's add another shit striker to the squad. Great. Let's all live in the romance and fantasy world where the misfits play well again for us.

[Anywhichwayicant]

Just hand Lyon a cheque book for Lacazette.

[CraigDS]

Wonder if Owen and Heskey wanna come back?

I don't think many would accuse me of living in romance and/or fantasy world. Quite a compliment, thanks.

[Didi_ram]

This, a hundred times over. Im going to be banging on this drum till the last minute of the window, after which I will lose hope. He is the player we need for our system. He has everything.

And Fernando Torres? Good lord no. The moment he left this club, he lost his career.

[theMilkman]

Please. We'll throw in a couple of Italians if they're interested.

[farawayred]

Or God. Third time's the charm...

[diegoLFC7]

Does anyone know if we have any true interest in bringing in Lacazette in the January window? He would be quality in our side.

Well, it's been touted on Rawk so you can expect it to be in the metro pretty soon

[SwordInYourGut]

Volland, Firmino or Lacazette please. The first two aren't out and out forwards but are genuine goal threats and fantastic players available at comparatively moderate prices and wages. As for Fernando Torres, I'd rather play Skrtel as a forward and I'm not even exaggerating. Torres belongs to the championship or some team like Elche or Eibar at his current level.

[MolbyLovesGravlax]

Torres?
Hell yeah, he is slow, injury prone and can't score. Exactly what we need to compliment our existing slow goalshy strikeforce.
Plus he is still a Chelsea player, so they would absolutely love to loan us possibly the only player on their books that wouldn't improve us.

[PIPA23]

he used to play as a CF in his football beginnings..

Your last sentence says it all, and Voronin proves you onlyget what you pay for.

[robgomm]

We need a quick, intelligent finisher. Torres is a work horse now, lost his pace and doesn't score many goals. It will take something special for him to reach his old heights again and I'd not stake much on it.

[GrkStav]

The last time I saw Torres on T.V., he looked strong, fit and not in the least "slow".

He wasn't exactly awesome, and he's still "out of sorts" (his timing isn't good).

But he hasn't really lost his pace.

Regrettably, yes.

He's strong for sure but that burst of speed that gets you away from defenders is missing when I've seen him. He seems to me to have tried to compensate with brawn.

Sources in France (think it was L'Equipe) did link us with him, before we signed Balotelli.

Far more likely to pay whatever it takes to get Origi IMO to return from his loan

[planet-terror]

torres,,facking hell..its christmas not aprils fools

[flinner]

Id take Torres over any of our available strikers we have at the minute, sad state of affairs but i think that he could still do a job for us.

[ThePoolMan]

A striker like doumbia or lacazette would make a huge difference. Pace and aggression are what the attach needs.

Torres would be disastrous - we already hv strikers who don't score!

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

Serious question, would you take Torres back in January? He's apparently available on a free.. Only scored once for Milan, still only 30..

A pay as you play deal, highly incentivised. Yep. But he'll have other clubs who will offer him a proper contract anyway, so it's moot.

Would rather try Skrtel out at centre forward first.

Beyond that...it's just sad. If this were a soap this would be the part where all the girls bawl their eyes out. Better to just leave his memories in our shirt unsullied.
