Fernando Torres

Recommended Posts

I've watched Torres for a long time at AM, LFC, and Spain. I'm a huge fan and here are my two cents worth:

1. He won't run around the field like a chicken with his head cut off. He's not that kind of player and never has been, never will be. If that's what you're expecting, you'll be disappointed. He likes to typically play off the shoulder of the last defender and make his move.

2. His touch can be horribly bad and in the next second sublimely ridiculous.

3. He can be a moody a## but he can also be an arrogant one. When he's arrogant is when he's at his best. It seems if you piss him off personally on the field that gets him going and he steps up. Sometimes he can be whiny but on the other hand he gets the crap kicked out of him on a regular basis with little protection from refs.

4. He gets up for the big games and plays well - Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester, Real Madrid, etc. He takes the challenge personally which makes him a great competitor.

5. He feels he can take multiple players on a time. Sometimes it's amazing and sometimes you want to know what the hell he was thinking.

6. Because there is Anelka, Drogba, Kalou, he doesn't have to play 90 minutes of every game no matter what. At LFC he probably played hurt more often than he should have. That combined with Spain commitments took their toll. He should be able to be rested and fit the second half of this season. With the summer off he should be a beast next season.

He is not a perfect player but he is a great player. He knows where the goal is and has a great appetite to score. He's also happy if teammates score.

I think CFC will be a good fit for him. He can contribute but he doesn't need to carry the team all the time, a la AM or LFC.
