| I've got to agree...Ossoi and Zannadar really hit the spot with their statements about Strikers vs Forwards. And I do happen to think Torres will be as important to Liverpool as Etoo is to Barca and Henry was to Arsenal. If you have a guaranteed 20 league goals a season player that says a lot for your team. Now that I think about it, there's no team with a guaranteed 20 league goals player. Please don't call Drogba, he had 1 20-goal season in his 4 years whereas Henry, Ruud have had several. Michael Owen was really close to doing this for several years at Liverpool. I think Torres will accomplish this feat year in year out.
And to touch on Gerrard a bit, he started off as more of a defensive midfielder then moved to the right and now he's an attacking center midfielder. Behind Paul Scholes he's the best english talent currently. After him I'd say Joe Cole and then Rooney. He can make great tackles, he has stamina and a great long shot. Benitez made a great buy when he picked up Mascherano. That freed up Gerrard so much in his defensive duties having a world class defensive midfielder to cover for him. |
