There's a couple of plebeian parvenus' on here at the moment. I think you touched on it in another thread

I feel as though we've moved beyond buying fading superstars now. I'd like us to get the next top dog. Dzeko and Higuaín probably best fit the bill.

no way is torres a fading superstar. the guy does not want to be at liverpool, you can tell that by his miserable body language alone.

I agree with ADVT on this one. On the other hand we more or less need three new strikers, and I'd be OK with Torres being one of them. But I don't want us to have to rely solely on him for goals.

There's a case for it mate. Hasn't looked fit for a good 12 months and had a dreadful World Cup.

Advantage with Torres is that we would not have to play him every week like Liverpool have to. Im sure we will have more than ideal back-up for the lesser games if you like. Thus keeping his fitness up.

As is the physical condition required to play at the top of your game. Players go into decline at different times. Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen were both effectively finished by the age of 27 themselves.
