Manutd have been chasing Torres for the past several months. But now it seems Liverpool are receiving the jackpot. The unwitting problem underlying is that there will too much competition for place in the Liverpool squad. They are fraught with talented players but only 11 can be in Benitez's game plan at a time. Liverpool shoudn't be meticulous in landing the explosive striker at Anfield as Torres is undoubtedly one among the world-class strikers,with plentiful pace and flamboyant movement. He has a beanpole physique and is undisputabe in pace and finishing.
With Henry gone, Arsenal might be a bit quivery this year and there is a staunch chance for Liverpool to be a doughty contender and a serious title-challenger. They musn't squander the opportunity they possess now.
Chelsea will be dying hard to regain back their title to Stanford Bridge. So do Arsenal. Manchester united will be showing the same fervent passion again as ever.

i think i speak for all when i say, LIVERPOOL NEED TORRES, his abilities up front seem to be what liverpools style of play is desperate for, and it would be a great shame indeed to let this opportunity pass as its something the fans have been waiting for for a long time, benitez should take control here and force what he and the rest of liverpool want

as a lifelong Liverpool fan,this is the boldest move for a clinical striker since owens dept.All the big 4 have a hitman striker.Chelsea -drogba.........Manu Rooney/saha>Arsena had henry >Liverpool>>>>>Torres? definitely.a guarantee of 20+ goals and a consistent rate above 60 is what we need to take it to the other backline.TORRES'dribbling, passing ,scoring and with the KING Gerrard roving plus the supporting cast -mean PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 2007/2008 finally....we will never walk alone.....

Is Torres "a well proven striker with a fabulous track record?"

If you take away the penalties,he's a 1 in 3 or 4 striker and I predict that he'll score less than 10 league goals for Liverpool next season.

Liverpool should concentrate on this one. I think this is one of the most important step in liverpool polished history to turn itself into a serious title contender as reviewed above. We hope Gillet & Hicks will open the door for the move and help the Kop raised its standard against the top two clubs last season.

Well Torres is a well proven striker with a fabulous track record to his name. I doubt he'll have problems in suiting to premiership pace.

We hoped with a good blend of talents within the team as Englishmen, spaniards and the south americans will launch a serious bid next season.

As a lifelong Liverpool fan I'd love to see us sign Torres. His goalscoring record over the past two years is not as impressive as that od David Villa. However, unlike Villa Torres has the strength and directness that Villa lacks and I believe he will be a huge success in the Premiership. He could link well with Dirk Kuyt and the number od Spanish players at Anfield should help him settle. When Spain played England recently he was the best player on the pitch from either side and had the England back four in knots!
