New striker?

Yeah... Torres is right up there with Haaland, MBappe, and any other world class striker you might want to mention - absolutely a fitting replacement for Aguero.
We'll never know unless he's given the chance (same with Delap). His finishing of chances has been very good so far.

I'm perfectly happy sticking with what we've got for the season and see how it goes. No great options are likely to be available this season anyway.

Torres is at this point in his career a poacher. I hope his game develops... we'll see.

Not what was said, nobody was suggesting he was up with them players. Those players aren’t available. Torres could have the potential to be better for this team than any available alternative.

Given our current squad - yeah - play him at striker as he'll poach goals.

Think of Torres as a sort of "Chicharito" - career trajectory at this point seems similar.
 
Torres has potential but he doesn’t have that aura about him that great players do, nor look like he ever will.

This team and manager deserve a proper striker that opponents fear and enemy fans are jealous as fuck about. Someone to bang in 25-30 league goals every season. The amount of chances we create and fuck up is so frustrating, we’d be unstoppable with a proper top striker.

Poacher really, you haven’t watched him then. Watch his hat trick v Newcastle, his disallowed goal last week, his movement v spurs and yesterday, including the second goals. Those runs and movements those finishes are those of a very natural striker. Not some tap in poacher.

Torres if he plays there all season will get over 20.This season.

Completely disagree - his performances are a mixed bag. We'll see though.

Hope you're right. He's young and may mature into a very gifted striker.

Torres needs to be given the proper opportunity to strike fear into our opponents. Without the opportunity it will never happen otherwise (which is stating the obvious). Look how long it took for people to come to terms that Kane was the real deal. Most thought he was just on a lucky streak of form & would soon fizzle out, but he keeps proving himself season after season.

Torres is showing good promise, & we look infinitely stronger with him & Jesus swapping positions. That could be the Masterstroke we needed to save us £150m on a shiny new striker.
