Too good for the league. Thank the good lord Arsenal never landed him - and he went to Barca...where despite the Messi narrative - many many Barcelona fans said it was Luis Suarez that was the first name on the team sheet.
How we didn't manage to win a title with this lad I just do not know.
HOT OFF THE PRESS:
Yes. He was probably our best ever player which is saying something and would be considered so had he stayed for longer. Unplayable for a time and never injured. A big what-if would be if we'd kept Torres and didn't buy Andy Carroll. Whether they could have played together who knows but imagine a defence having to face the two of them!
