Liverpool have met the asking price to trigger the release clause in his contract (believed to be somewhere in the region of £25-£27M) with Luis Garcia going the other way. Torres just needs to agree personal terms with The Reds which should be a formality as Torres is determined to join Liverpool.
Again, alot of money being spent here but Torres is absolute class and I think he will do a great job at Liverpool who always create chances but seem to lack the firepower. There's also a strong possibility that Carlos Tevez could also join him at Liverpool with the new American owners beginning to flex their financial muscles. One things for sure the Premier League race will sure be interesting next season and could be the tightest for a while.

do you think liverpool will challenge the top 2? If they sign 2 or 3 quality players I don't see why not? Like I said, lack of scoring goals has been Liverpools problem in recent season's. Man U are a classy side that has to be said but the only team that got near them was a stuttering Chelsea who I think will be firing on all cylinders next season. I still think Chelsea will reclaim the title next season just pipping Liverpool or Man U. Its going to be tight. can't see arsenal being anywhere near them. The best footballing team on the eye by far. Seem to have inherited Liverpools scoring problem. The sale of Henry will not help and £16M won't go far to replacing him. Someone like Owen could be a good signing possibly. Think Arsenal might have to battle it out with Spurs for 4th but my money would be on the Yid's. |

torres is more of a creative forward than a goalscorer from what i've seen and l'pool have got enough of those already. it'll be interesting to see how he does.

Bellamy and Crouch should be off. Bellamy to Newcastle again i reckon with Crouch off to Man City to join Sven.
Cracking signing for Liverpool though

Torres is the type of player Liverpool have been lacking. A great partnership I feel will become between Torres and Kuyt. A few more good signings and it's happy days for Liverpool. I don't think anyone is going to touch Utd this season though.

A mate of mine who supports Man Utd was desperate for Torres to sign for them - he and many United fans will be gutted.

I don't think anyone is going to touch Utd this season though. Kuyt is crap and at £26.5m Torres is vastly over-priced. No doubt all the non-scouse glory boys will be saying how Liverpool will win the league now. |

12 goals in 34 league appearances of his first season at Liverpool and in english football ain't half bad for someone who's 'crap' |
