Torres – The New Red’s Forward

While I have been closely following Liverpool’s off season transfer activity, postings of related news have somewhat dried up since my recent ‘interest’ in Korean dramas. So, it is high time to provide some update on my beloved football club.

Coming after weeks of speculation and transfer inactivity, I am really glad to see that Liverpool is tying up the transfer of Fernando Torres from Aletico Madrid. Torres is touted as the critical missing jigsaw piece in Liverpool’s push for Premier League glory as the striking department was, in my opinion, the main failing in Liverpool’s failed campaigns in the last few seasons. Look at Liverpool’s ’shots on target’ to goal ratio and you know what I mean.

Torres arrival will be a great boost to the team. However, one name pops up whenever Benitez splashes cash for his fellow countrymen – Fernando Morientes. Morientes arrived at Liverpool from Real Madrid with a huge reputation, but failed to withstand and acclimatise to the rigours of the Premier League.

I can only hope that Torres succeeds where Morientes has failed.
