    Broke my heart when he left for Chelsea and I think it broke a bit of him to as his decline was unreal.
    Had he stayed for a further six months I think the combination of him and Suarez up front, with Luis just off him, doing more of the running. Then allowing Gerrard to slot back into centre midfield could have been really interesting to watch.

    As an Atletico fan, I remember when my friends first introduced me to football when I was 14. I watched compilation videos of football skills and goals and one of those videos were of Torres and Griezmann, thats the videos that made me fall in love with Torres and ultimately Atletico.
    this video was a masterpiece, I love football because of Fernando Torres and he will always be my hero.
    My most favourite time of him was when he returned to Atletico after being on Loan from Milan.
    he was not at his best at that time, but that was the most recent time I watched him play.

    One of the best strikers of the premier league.
    LFC before Torres always had a striker problem. Crouch and Kuyt weren't bad but they didn't score enough. El Nino changed that and made the clubs fear Liverpool again.
    It's a shame some people forget how important he was for Liverpool because they didn't win any trophies. If only Liverpool had a little bit more resources at that time who knows what could have happened.

    TRUST ME.. or not even me, but the millions of fans out there who NEVER will forget Liverpool's number 9!
    There was something abt Torres ppl liked. Like us who liked Torres REALLY LIKED HIM. Still even.
    He is the only football player I chose to talk abt in front of the whole class when we had a presentation.
    He for me is still my top three coolest players. So slick. but more than his skill, he is a really good person.
    No prima donna shit, been with his GF, who he later married, since he was 12. Captain of Atletico at 19yo!!
    He was a person everyone liked.
    That Torres would be the person to forever become a legend in Spain was kinda written, right? OFC it HAD to be Torres, to give them TWO EURO trophies,
    and... just to show how good he was.. he was playing for a footbal team that on CLUB or intentional lvl are among the three best teams to ever play football.
    Together with 90s/00s Brazil, with Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Carlos etc.. WOW.. kids today MISSED OUT! That Spain team is right up there though. SO GOOD! With as iconic players.
    And Torres...although he doesn't get the credit, at that time, was that good to deserve a spot in it!
    I mean.. Yees, he f'd up... BUT.. I get it.. I get why top players didn't see LFC as the team to win big trophies.
    I mean.. did we fans? not really. Although we knew we could ofc! So I think Torres did his job.
    Also.. I don't think the transfer did mess him up. He was very prone to injuries. And the transfer... It was actually genius of LFC. Getting 50M for him was a good deal.
    but I will NEVER forget El Niño.. Not only just because of LFC, but also as a Atletico fan.. interestingly.. To be a LFC and Atletico fan has given me many chances to keep my favourite players as the fac players, as many LFC players for some reason also played for Atletico. Even Suarez.
    Anyway... I will Never stop singing NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA.
