With fernando torres at liverpool we will have that creative spark which we’ve needed so much this will allow dirk kuyt to get further upfield and from what ive seen he can be quite effective as a box striker.

I don’t give a crap about all these stats Linda, he’s a young player who captains his side and leads the front line by himself, of course he’s going to lose the ball! Get another striker up with him, add the quality of Liverpool’s midfield and you should see the player develop into a world class front man.

FanState is on to something there. My favourite Torres factoid: he was the player who lost the ball the most times in the 05-06 season of La Liga.

Plus, he’s not had a good season at all. I’d be wary about buying him. Maybe England will suit his style, but he’s far from completely proven, even in Spain.

Maybe you’ll be able to bitch about Torres turning the ball over every 5 minutes :p

I think its a good buy though. He’s fast, strong, good in the air, but his finishing does need some work.

I’ve posted a link to your article to http://www.fanstate.com Hope you and everyone reading will take a look and join!

Go Reds!

Tevez and Milito are completely different players so you can’t compare really, both could form a great partnership, Milito is an out and out goal poacher, does nothing outside the 18 yard box really, where as Tevez loves to get the ball just about anywhere and bully people, I also agree with the Kuyt comment, I thought he had a good season! But one concern I have is, i’m really not sure about this Voronin fella, especially when Javier Saviola is a free agent also! I see him nothing more as a fourth or fifth choice striker.

I could care either way about Bent, either Torres or Tevez would be better buys, but that goes without saying. I don’t see how Charlton can keep him in the Championship, but I’m sure some team will overpay for him. I also think Kuyt will improve over last season.

As for Tevez vs. Milito, I have to disagree. Tevez has proved his worth in the EPL, while Milito has not. Not saying he’ll fail here, but it’s proof over speculation.

I really wanted Bent, because he can almost guarantee you 15 Premiership goals a season, too bad his club is run by retards and won’t realize his true value. I have a REAL good feeling about Torres, I think he could be a very good player for us, same with Diego Milito, who I think would be much better than Tevez ever would be for us.

Thanks Francesco. Sounds like a good buy… even if he is Italian.

I really want Tevez rather than Torres and I think if we sign the Milito Brothers that will give us six Argentinian players, which will make it a lot more comfortable for Tevez to fit in, but, if Tevez is not in our price range, then by all means, yes, we need to sign Torres.

Giandomenico Mesto is a right back who plays for Reggina and knows how to attack and is good defensively as well. He is a former U21 starlet and always linked with a move to one of the big clubs. He’s very speedy and I think he would fit well in the EPL.
