    He's easily in the top 5 attacking players of all time. Some people laugh if that's said but it's true. Maybe not a better goalscorer than Ronaldo but as in individual talent he's streets ahead.
    It's his reputation that keeps him out of those top five conversations that people have and are not capable of separating the personality from the player.

    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!

    Pound for pound the best player to ever pull on the famous Red shirt...
    Insane levels of skill, and his free kicks were almost as good as penalties for certain goals...
    Total edge of your seat maestro.
