Dzeko or Torres?

How about one now and one in the summer when Carlos leaves? There's two top quality forwards with Balo as backup. Then we could get rid of RSC, Ade, Jo and possibly bring up a youngster or two if needed.

Balo will end up better than both.

I agree. He's gonna be our Ronaldo/Messi if we don't hound him out of the club.

He's hardly being hounded out is he? At the moment it's up to him how he reacts and scoring goals will shut everyone up soon enough. I just wish he'd shut up himself.

Dzeko is gonna be The Man to take us to the next level. Let's hope he settles quickly...

If we get Torres as well I'd be amazed but if we did then watch us fly.

I know it was only for a handful of minutes, but I was very pleased with what I saw from Balo at the end of the N'Castle match. We he came on he was chasing the ball all over the place and always trying to get into the middle of the action and did well to track back on defense. I honestly believe this is because Roberto has been in his ear about this stuff. He said he respects Roberto and thinks of him as a father figure. As long as Roberto is in charge of the ship I believe we are going to see the best out of Balo. I really hope he gets the starting nod today, as I believe he is ready to put in a special shift. If he puts in a full shift of chasing the ball and finds his clinical finishing he has shown glimpses of, braces could very easily not only become a regular occurrence from him, but an expected occurrence.

"Hounded out of the club" Bit fucking melodramatic that isn't it?

Not really, considering some of the thoughts of posters on here.

Do you really think Balo gives a flying fuck what a few posters on an internet message board think? If he does, then there really is something wrong with him.
 
Interesting response to the original question:

42% Dzeko
36% Torres
22% Both

The way Torres played for the red dippers last night smacked of a player unhappy with his lot. I think he will def be leaving them.
I can see us signing both of these, Dzeko any minute and Torres at the end of the season.

Tevez, Balotelli, Dzeko and Torres.
Mancini always said he wanted 4 first class strikers!!

It's fantasy football time, but it's a real prospect for us.
Time to pinch myself again.
 
I'm not convinced about Torres at the moment. Leave him at Liverpool and if he comes good sign him up then (even if his value goes up, it's not as if we wont be able to afford him).

Take a punt on Dzeko for me. He has the desire to come here (the letter he sent the club in August) which is always a good sign.
 
I've only ever seen Torres play so I can't compare the two. Instinct says I'd go for the one who has Premiership experience because he can hit the ground running - but that doesn't always mean anything.

Completely agree, Torres for me will have his own mono rail to the operating room at the Alexander!!
 
One of the main boons of being the worlds richest club, is we don't need to buy players on a bad run of form and hope they return to form. Just buy Torres if and when he gets back to his best, not before, even if it costs us an extra few million pounds. We didn't do that with Santa Cruz, and look what happened. So Dzeko for me.

Edit: just realised I'm simply echoing the sentiments of theevilweasel so i concur with him.

Enjoy the wait.
 
Does anybody know how much Torres is getting paid at Liverpool? Personally I would much rather pay him 125K a year than pay the 180K which Dzeko's agent is allegedly demanding.

Torres would want parity with the top earners i'd imagine.
