What are you on, top ten in europe he would be lucky to make top ten in Spain, have you actually watched an Spainish football this season? What 14 goals including penalties in 38 games is top 10 in europe? Hes well over rated and over priced all because hes spains golden boy like Beckham or Totti for their countries.
Let him notch 20 plus goals this season and the cost will be forgotten about.
Well its about time someone got the 25 goals per season they want after all Ciise at £14m- £17m was supposed to be this man and he got about 2 goals, Belamy, Morrientes also from Spain also flopped but the biggest build up from Liverfool fans was about Kuyt "hes class will get 25 goals" and the usuall "we're GOING to win the league" and he even he was dissapointing, not delivering these goals.
Remember talking about Kuyt on here with a few fools after the world cup was over and i was right he wouldn't get that amount of goals.
And isn't he about Rafas 18th Spanish player hes brought it, somewhere around that figure.
Makes Bent look cheap now at least him can ping them in and is proven over here, hes boring though as we see his name week in week out. I blame the papers going on about who hes meant to be joining for 2 years just like they were abotu Ronaldo and Real. Total over hype but yeah hes better than Belamy and Liverpool are going ot have about 10 strikers that can all get what a fit Solskjaer gets off the bench.

Love it when all the mancs diss a player we've bought. This time last year when SAF was given the go ahead to bid for Torres, the mancs were creaming themselves at the prospect. Torres was world class then and the mancs were getting him...
Pinched from another forum, a few quotes from mancs about the impending signing that never happened

I'm sure if I could be arsed to do a search for this time last year, there'd be many more quotes from the mancs saying how great Torres is
i think Torres willl be great at man utd. he would be a great signing.
oli.
man utd fan
torres and rooney is good for man utd
torres willbe a great sining, with rooney and torres we will be ustoppable, bring on chelsea
PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE TORRES GOING TO UNITED
i say mashereno and torres then we can start beating all
the liverpools chelsea and arsenals lets face it we cant beat all of them in single season with losin to one of them
Torres and Rooney...it gives you the freeks 2 world class strikers
torres would be a great signing
torres will simply be at his very best if he is at man utd with rooney up front, we will be unstopable
He really needs to go to united! He would bring so much to the club
HE WILL BE GREAT FOR US, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED ALSO WE SHOULD GET CARRICK AND MASCHERANO
am a big man utd fan and a would love 2 see torres in a man u shirt a hink he would help united bring their crown back 2 old trafford.OLE!OLE!OLE!OLE!FERNA NADO,FERNANDO!Join manchester united!
Shame the mancs didn't get 2 of the players a lot wanted ie: Mascherano and Torres and ended up with only the over-rated and over priced Carrick
£20m for Torres makes Bent look well overpriced and as Rafa said he isn't expecting 20+ goals a season in the league from any of his strikers, he'll be happy with 15 goals from each striker + goals from other players.
Remind me skeg.... how many league goals did Rooney get last season? Wasn't it 14?

Has he ever got 25+ in a season for the mancs/everton?
