In a league where the top team at the table has spent £450 million (net) over 5 years on new players, there is very little room for principles from the 70's and 80's. If you want to be successful, of course.
Its not about keeping up with traditions, were struggling to convert chances which is costing us points and I wouldn't gamble £20m on a striker who is struggling for confidence in front of goal to try and fix that problem, if we wanted to do that we have a £35m striker already on our books in a similar situation.
If we were going for a striker in the January window I'd rather go for one who is on form, brimming with confidence and ready to hit the ground running other than spunk £20m on one who's confidence looks shot to sh*t.
Then there is the situation with his former team mates too which could cause problems with the harmony in the squad, Carragher, Gerrard, Aggers, Skrtel etc etc are only human, some will not too be bothered if Torres returns, some won't want him back, just like us fans.
But it won't be happening in January anyway, so were best of just locking the thread as its a pointless discussion anyway.
