He's in form now though and I can't see that changing just yet.

More or less exactly the same conversation I had with someone else who came out with a daft comment about him being "As good a player as Henry", which is not only wrong, its unfair, maybe its a conversation you could have in 3 years, but definately not now.
I was actually toying with the idea of throwing a poll up about who is the best player and put Ronaldinho, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka etc in and throw Torres in the mix, just to illustrate how people go WAY over the top, which only leads to disappointement in the long term.
Don't get me wrong, the lad does have to seem to have a lot in his locker, and a good attitude towards football (As far as being a nice lad, I couldn't give a shite, I pay to watch him play football, not walk old ladies across the street), which will give him a very good chance of fulfilling most if not all of his potential, but it is still very early doors.
