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

liverpool and barcelona is the best club in the world
torres your needed anal st manc with your twin bruno big wood waiting!!
My LFC squad 09-10: Reina, Cavalieri, Gulacsi - Johnson, Darby, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Kelly or San Jose, Aurelio, Insua - Mascherano, Alonso, Lucas, Gerrard, Spearing, Riera, Benayoun, M.Moralez(Velez S.) - Kuyt, Torres, Babel, Ngog, Lodeiro (Inter URU). + Nemeth, Dalla Valle, Pacheco, Irwin or Mendy for some games. Its just one version, but a very strong one!
BENITEZ BUY VILLA OR SILVA YNWA YNWA
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.
who really cares
liverpool will come close but not win again
rafa to be fired by xmas
WHY IS DAT LIVERPOOL IS NO WANT BUY ME
Anybody know when S G goes to court
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.
torres+bruno shaft the kopites on pen spot felchin fooks!!!
spanish liverpoo..
I'd like David Villa to be in Liverpool...
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
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
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.
MU w/o Ronaldo, the diver, is a different team. Unless MU Diving Club trains more divers, otherwise, there is no hopes.

utd are still the team to beat, i,m afraid, but liverpool and man city, will give them a run again this season, that is city will improve , and with the players they are signing surely they are going into the top four.
Torres, Gerrard what have they won? Sod all! Losers.
United for the 4-peat. 'Nuff said.
