LIBERTY FOR FERNANDO By Martin Lipton 12/06/2007 More Football Have your say: Football forum ATLETICO MADRID will spark a transfer scramble next week when confirming that striker Fernando Torres is for sale. Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have all looked at Torres, while Spurs, West Ham and Newcastle may launch a £15million bid. Torres, 23, has scored 82 goals in 212 league appearance for Madrid, with a record of 14 in 42 caps for Spain. Advertisement Atletico's failure to earn a UEFA Cup slot means they are expecting to lose their star forward. |

I don't rate him that highly tbh and for the money they want I'd rather have Huntelaar.
Also, Gill put the keybosh on a move last Summer because he was overpriced so unless the fee has dropped dramatically I'll be surprised if there's a move. I won't complain if Utd do move for him, but I'll have my doubts. |

I think he’ll be available for under £20 million, which we could probably afford. His scoring record in the last 2 seasons hasn't been great, mainly because he's been going stale in an average side. Ronaldinho was in a similar position at PSG before moving to Barca.
He was very impressive for Spain at the 2006 World Cup. The guys a fantastic talent who would score a £#%&! load in our team. The football we play makes him a perfect fit for our system and would be the perfect stage for him to reach his full potential. |

But Reyes was a @#%&!. It only took a £#%&! off tackle by our Gary to bring that slimy @#%&! back down to earth. |

Torres is definitely physically & mentally the part - captaining a club the size of Athletico is no mean feat, all the media work etc & pressure he shoulders would stand him in good stead for us. Plus he seems like an intelligent guy when I've seen him interviewed - far cry from the mincer Arsenal signed. |

I don't agree he's a powerful centre forward tbh. From what I've seen of him he's spent an awful lot rolling about. He dives like a bastard too. And as far as the 5 years in Spain go, I've only seen him have one good season.
I don't have that much of a problem with him, there'd be no complaints if he did arrive, but I think he's vastly overrated. |
