You're a father now - do you see your little girl growing up here in Liverpool as a little Scouser?
I think so. Some of my teammates have kids and they speak with a strong Scouse accent. I hope to be here for a long time and if my daughter speaks English and Scouse, I will be proud.
Everyone hopes you'll be here a long time yet - but how would you ultimately like to be remembered by Liverpool fans?
I would like to be remembered as a player who won trophies for Liverpool. I have plenty of years here, I am sure about that, and I hope the trophies will come soon......
Has fatherhood changed you?
Yes, a little bit - I cannot rest properly anymore! No, I can. I have a really nice baby and I can sleep. But I have more responsibilities now and you start to think about things in a different way. You have a wife and a daughter, so you're not a kid anymore. You have to think about the future of your family........
You are a global superstar now but do you still see your old mates - the people you grew up with?
Yes. I have friends over almost every weekend, and they're the same friends I had as a kid. This is the main thing - keeping your friends and family close to you. They keep your feet on the ground. When we are alone they tell me I am the same as I was before, and I have to thank them because they always help and support me.
I would personally like to believe the Lad meant them words ....and they weren't simply just empty promises ,and for that reason I will strive to remind posters exactly what he gave to us fans ...the most important being the belief that this club could still attract the very best players in the world ,and make them feel like they belonged ....Torres is a well grounded Lad who is honest enough to make a statement when the occasion arises ... ... if and its still a sizeable if ...he decides to seek pastures new
