Fernando Torres

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

of course they can people can compare Messi to Damien Duff all they want as well but where is it going to get you?

Be stubborn all you want. it is a fair comparison between Falcao and Torres. Everyone can see that but you.

 

[BarcaOG]

id just like to add that comparing players based on their pricetags is completely fair because price tags are objective standards by which to judge and value players. if falcao's buy-out clause is 60 million its because atletico feels that as a player falcao is worth that 60 million. they arent slapping that ammount of money on, say, atleticos keeper because he isnt valued as highly.

if then torres was bought for 63 million youd have to assume that both him and falcao are on the same level, relatively.

of course, they arent. but their pricetags are comepletely valid grounds for comparison.

Heskey's won more trophies...

Heskey's won more trophies...

and he's the 15 or 16th all time top scorer in epl.

 

[Deco 20]

But Torres has 100(!) caps


---
Heskey scored 9 goals in 92 league games for Aston Villa.

In the words of the great Farkas: That's just... wow...

the white heskey.

I've seen rapists with better first touch. He's becoming the Spanish Bendtner

 

[Theconomist]

Someone said Torres for EPL top scorer a few pages back...

 

[Meitux]

what matters how many trophies has heskey won? he is shit and old now,but that doesnt mean torres is a good player

Well, at least you cannot blame the guy for not being realistic.

I was bored and digged some older posts up. Pure gold.

etoo for Torres we will win treble again...

Though you could give us £70m plus Eto'o and that may work. I would reject it - but it may work.

the fabregas torres era is just around the corner

Anyhoo, I think he's twice the player Eto'o is. Don't get me wrong, I love Sam, but I'd rather Torres any day.

These guys knew their stuff though:

Definitely not the best striker in the world. Villa, Ibra and Eto'o are all ahead of him. After that, it's pretty close between a few strikers.

he's not the best in the world.

his failures with spain and the fact that he's clearly not as awesome as villa make that obvious.

Torres has everytttttttttthing, except a first touch

Rooney top 4...really?!? ROONEY? sigh.

"Awesome" is a pretty strong word to describe Torres. Awesome no, he's a very good striker who has the ideal well rounded game for the Premier League.

he's overrated.

consistently poor in la liga.
consistently poor against la liga teams for liverpool.
consistently poor for spain against everyone but the cackest teams.

great striker, but he's not the best in the world.

hell I wouldn't say he's even top 5.

villa, drogba, zlatan and eto'o are better than him for sure.
