is that he has completley bought into the ethos of our club

 

He playes with a pride and passion that would suggest he is from Merseyside not Madrid....

 

We have had a few of them in the past, players not even from these shores who know waht it means to play for the club

 

I may be naive.....but I can see him playing for us for years and then returning to Atletico....I cannot imagine anotehr club giving him what he obviously craves....which is a club that means something more than mere profit and bums on seats, and a set of fans that completley adore him

 

i get the feeling he hates United as much as Gerrard or Carra....when he did the five finger salute today, I welled up....

 

he loves us, and the feeling is completley mutual

Someone on here said a while back that if Torres had been available to us all season we would have been at least 5 points better off. That argument was quickly shot down.

 

I think the last two games have shown how crucial Torres is to our chances of silverware what a difference a fit Torres would have made to our title chances and our position in the league.

 

The strange thing is he is still not fully fit.

I think growing up at Atletico has helped that - he's looked across at the circus at Real and it's just not him. He was very close to his grandfather, who loved Atletico, and that pride and passion is clearly visible in him.

I was very close to mine and what he and his generation sacrificed for us - i absolutely loathe the disrespect shown by the younger generation towards our elders. See it on the train all the time.

 

Anyway, Torres was born to play here

I think he was which is why he started struggling after an hour.

 

He wasnt apparently, the struggling was probably to do with the 37 kicks from Anderson (how did this useless t*** not get a card?) and f*** knows how many more by other selected yard dogs from their team.

they said during the commentary that he wasnt

 

but I saw him getting an ice pack

He should do what Carra did and just retire from the national side. :D

 

As annoying as it is when Torres goes away with Spain and returns with an injury, I wouldn't actually want him to quit international football. I think the successes of Spain are good for him. Also I think (unlike most of the England team) playing for his country is not an ego thing for Torres, it's part of his drive and desire.

on my Fifa 09 game he scores about 7 every game and he's yet to show that form for us yet

He's f*cking awesome. He's exactly the type a player we need. He's been woth every penny.

 

Think about it. Riera, Pennant, Dossena = one Nando

 

Would you buy another Nando or keep that lot?

He's getting better as well I think, he's showing more aggression, power and speed the last couple of games and he was f***ing mind blowing before. He and Gerrard are as good as Dalglish and Rush in their heyday, and I never thought I'd say that. We just need 5 or 6 years of it and a boat load of trophies now.

I am surprised people disagreed with that. Even mancs agree that this years title race would have been close with a fully fit torres.
