I do like Spaniards doing well in my club, you always have that sort of "pride" as a 7th or 8th value, but he's not going to be the man that will put Spanish strikers in a good position.
I mean.
Look again at his face. He won't be ever be a man.
Seriously, he has pace. He has dribbling, and he shoots strongly. But he hasn't Owen's movements, and he's not a clinical finisher. He hesitates in one on ones, and often kicks it hard to "see what happens".
If you go through two defenders, and then you don't finnish, you have the people in the stands stand up, but then dissapointed. That's my prediction for him. Yes, he will score but... he is not the kind of striker you've been wishing. Even Eto'o is not a great finisher for that matter (but he is better), but at least he's tougher and have better movements. I'd honestly bring football-wise Owen rather than Torres if the docs at Melwood say there's not problems with injuries.
The problem with Torres is that when he has the ball he only sees the goal. Villa is direct aswell, but Villa delivers, so that's ok. But Torres is the kind of striker that do not see what's happening around him.
I'm concerned. I wish he proves me wrong and you can laugh at my prediction, as that will mean success for Liverpool, but I'm concerned if this is true.
Do we really want to see Rafa blow megabucks on bringing another Baros to the club?

Every attribute of Torres' that SABRE mentions reminds me of someone:

I am not trying to write Torres off as a Liverpool player before we even sign him (if we do) and yes with better quality players and training staff around him he may improve but at the £20m+ being bandied about it does seem a very big risk that could be avoided.

I would prefer Torres to Milito, Forlan and Bent of the ones we have been rumoured to be interested in, of the ones its likely we could get I would go for Owen. If I had the choice I would go for Tevez.
