For once I doesn't want to go about giving prediction and 'dream team' stuff.. Just wanted to wait for some concrete news about Liverpool FC before posting opinion.
In this past 2 weeks, anything of significance will be Xabi Alonso, Pepe Reina, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher signed new extended deals. (And Stevie got married, not that it was any of my business).
The common belief is that we are waiting for the Premiera Liga to end as most of our target are in Spain. So now it has ended, we shall see. Will the owner put the money where their mouth is? And walk the walk instead of talk the talk? The latest one that appears just a few hours ago is that Rick Parry jetted of to Madrid, presumed to be in talk with Fernando Torres.
Fans on forum are split down the middle on this, some think he is too lightweight and doesn't score enough, others think he is a good finisher and is still young and quite pacy too.
Here's what I think. He is one of the youngest world class strikers out there in my humble opinion. He is quick and has a very high workrate. Despite not scoring over 20 goals at A. Madrid, we need to understand that he is carrying the team on his own and drag them into an UEFA Cup placing. I do believe that with Gerrard, Alonso and maybe some additional world class wingers, he can really mature at Liverpool.
But in the meantime, all just rumours. We shall all wait and see.
