Torres staying and wanting Villa

Fernando Torres has urged Liverpool to sign David Villa and recreate the Spanish strike partnership at Anfield.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea are all in the market for Villa, but Torres wants to see his fello European champion on Merseyside.

"Rafa Benitez makes the signings and I'm sure those who come will improve us," said Torres. "If it was me I would bring David Villa. But that may not be possible.

"We play well together and link up so well. It's a pleasure to play with him.

"I don't know if we are the best partnership in the world but we are the European champions and that is almost the same."

Torres also took the opportunity to dismiss the weekend's preposterous links with a move to Manchester United.

"I don't know anything about United, just that it has been in the newspapers," said Torres.

"Listen, my team is Liverpool and this is very clear to me.

"This club has it all - the history, the prestige, the fans, the organisation.

"It's a big responsibility to give the fans here the success they desire, but the challenge is always exhilarating and this is why I was delighted to sign a new contract."

Well that's the ridiculous United rumours ended.

Interesting one that, I've often read people on here stating that Torres had to change his style of play to suit Villa's, and that he had more donkey-work to do when they played alongside one another. Now Torres comes out and says he loves playing upfront with Villa!

Go on then Rafa, make a cheeky bid, you know you want to!

"I don't know if we are the best partnership in the world but we are the European champions and that is almost the same."

Fairly true I guess, they are both incredible players. I would be over the moon if Villa came to Anfield, whether we will able to get him or not is a different matter though!

Would mean a hell of a re-shuffle in the midfield and style of play though wouldn't it because there's no way you'd leave Villa on the bench every game.

We talking something like...?

                           Reina
Arby/Johnson  Carra    Agger   Aurelio/Insua

Kuyt     Gerrard     Alonso/Masch      Babel/Riera

                  Torres       Villa

Actually that doesn't look too bad does it?

Too bad? It looks excellent my friend!

Go on Fernando, tap him up

Too bad? It looks excellent my friend!

Could still have Stevie bombing on and feeding Nando and Villa with Alonso or Masch dropping back to fill the gap.

It's a mouth watering idea him and Nando on the same teamsheet but they're talking silly money and with manUre taking an interest the price will go through the roof,the players wishes will take second place and his agents pocket will do the talking.

David villa is the missing piece to the puzzle. We shold be using all our money and money we can raise just to buy him. If he was the only player to come to anfield this summer I would be over the moon.

I love that quote from Torres, too, in the higlighted bit he sounds like he's saying United have none of that!

                           Reina
Arby/Johnson  Carra    Agger   Aurelio/Insua

Kuyt     Gerrard     Alonso/Masch      Babel/Riera

                  Torres       Villa

Where's Benayoun? I think I would actually put Gerrard back on the wing. Seeing we would have Villa and Torres gunning for the goals, Gerrard would strenghten the wing and we would be able to keep Masch and Xabi in the middle.

When I read the news on SSN, I ponder a bit, if this could ever happen. We would win everything next season, everything!

I was the same mate, listened to a lot of people who are much more knowledgeable than me when it comes to other players from other teams/leagues. Then watching his interview after the game, he said he loves hooking up for national duty as it means he gets to play with one of the best strikers in the world. Now he says this....maybe we should put in a bid for Villa.

I will eat my hat if Villa signs for us!

I will eat my hat if Villa signs for us!

I call your hat and raise you a dwarf. Yes, i will eat a dwarf if he signs for us. (No offence to any mythological creatures on here, specifically dwarfs)

I'll see your dwarf and a hat and raise you a dwarf in a hat!!

well i can see that i have been beaten.

I'll see your dwarf and a hat and raise you a dwarf in a hat!!

*Steps back in defeat*

My hand is up.

Best of luck, stranger things have happened you know. 

And if Villa and Silva come it'll be a dwarf in a hat on a UNICYCLE!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ARGH!!!!!

We'd have to find £40million first. You chipping in Nando?

And if Villa and Silva come it'll be a dwarf in a hat on a UNICYCLE!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ARGH!!!!!

Struggling here.

How does a dwarf in a helmet on a motorbike sound?
