Premier League - Torres seeks Spanish recruits

Eurosport - Sun, 28 Jun 15:37:00 2009

Fernando Torres has revealed he has recommended three of his Spanish compatriots to Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez.

FOOTBALL 2008-09 Premier League Liverpool striker Fernando Torress - 0

The Spain striker believes the Reds need "small players with quality" to finally wrest the Premier League title from Manchester United and would like Benitez to sign David Silva, Juan Mata or David Villa from Valencia.

"English football is very difficult because it's very physical and played at a high tempo," Torres said. "We have a fantastic team to play against the big teams and we are competitive.

"But maybe against those teams lower down we are not good enough. We have to improve that and I think we can.

"I think we can definitely be stronger at home. We have some very good players but maybe we need other players. I hope Liverpool will bring people like Silva, Mata or Villa. These are small players with quality like United had with Carlos Tevez and also with Paul Scholes.

"They are clever players and maybe they can make the difference. Yossi Benayoun plays like these kind of players and I hope we can bring more like that so then we have different options to play against all the sides."

  5. Scousers being chavs is @#$%, never seen a burberry cap­ at anfield. Manchester only got fashionable after u­ built gay village. and u cockneys where way back in the­ fashion stakes, cockneys still had butchers jackets and­ million holer DM's until the 80's. At this time­ we where robbing europes finest clothes, skint and­ still better dressed that u muppets.

    Scousers r­ Scallies, it is a big difference than chav. Cockney­ scallies and mancs copy the same now and u know­ it.

    anyway mancs r always covered in homemade tatoos,­ gotta give it to the cockneys these days, they have the­ a game now.

    darren m & carlmarsden: Another bunch of­­ disillusioned Scouse Muppet's. Using the­­ abbreviation 'EPL' is not there purely for­­ America's sake you dimwits! Der! I hate KFC as­­ it's Chav food, being Scouse you'll know all­­ about being Chav. I think you'll find Steven­­ Gerrard and indeed LFC have not won anything of worth­­ for years, hence the empty trophy cabinet, unless you­­ go back over 20 years. Ah the good old days eh! Cilla,­­ Tarby, Sonia those were the days when Liverpool fans­­ had something to shout about but not now! Come back­­ when LFC win the EPL, after you've had your KFC of­­ course. I thank you.

  13. and by the way if you look donw your own forum notice­ that loserpoo fans are talking about man united on­ their own forum so do you not think that is an example­ of you s.c.u.m bags not concentrating on your own team

    From reddevils_4life99, on Mon 29 Jun 1:30PM

  14. oh yes of couse steve you are disillusioned like most­ typical liverpoo fans you dont think lots of other­ loserpool fans go on man united forums spouting their­ venom
    they do and if you cant handle it then maybe you­ shouldnt be a football fan
    loserpoo deserve the abuse­ they get because their s.h.i.t and so double standard­

    and by the way in the season perhaps if loserpoo­ supporters concentrated on their own team rarther then­ hoping that other teams will do them a favour you might­ win the league
    then again you still wouldnt any way

  15. Isn't weird how the Mancs come on our page and­ slate us. I never go on their page why would i? Why­ would i want to read about rubbish and what do i want­ to know about the Mancs? It just shows they are to be­ busy looking and reading what other teams are doing­ instead of concentrating on there own. They must be­ scared because the Prem is ours next season and they­ are not winning nothing.

  16. MU w/o Ronaldo, the diver, is a different team. Unless­ MU Diving Club trains more divers, otherwise, there is­ no hopes.
