torres aims high
Liverpool forward Fernando Torres has set his sights on beating Didier Drogba to the Premier League golden boot.

Chelsea striker Drogba strolled to the award for the Premier League's top scorer last season with 20 goals.

However, Liverpool's £21.7million summer signing Torres insists Drogba will have a rival this year.

Torres has made a positive start to his Anfield career, but he insists the best is yet to come in his battle with Drogba.

"I am happy with my work at Liverpool," Torres told the Daily Star. "But really I warn the fans they have only seen 60 per cent of the real Torres.

"To be the top scorer in the Premier League will not be easy, but in the first few weeks I have shown it will not be a parade for Drogba to repeat his success of last season."

Torres netted a brace in Liverpool's crushing 6-0 win over Derby on Saturday, to take his Premier League tally to three, and he has admitted how much he enjoyed the experience.

"On Saturday I realised how to be a hero at Anfield," Torres added. "The people were happy with my goals and it was a sensational experience.

"I am not obsessed with the number of goals I score this season and at the moment I am still a nobody in the Premier League.

"My challenge is to triumph in Liverpool and become the best striker in the club's history.

"I know that this will be difficult, but I am prepared for the adventure."

Re: torres aims high
judging from the last couple of games, Kuyt and crouch seem to be aiming high too, top tier of the annie road to be precise*.

Badum-tish, I thank you.

Re: torres aims high
I get a feeling the answers he gave there were to some pretty loaded questions but so far he is has already showed us he has the attributes to be a top striker for us.

I think hes right when he says he is only operating at 60% as we have to remember we were told it may well take him 6 months possibly a full season before we would see the real Torres.

If thats the case then i cant fucking wait til next season then to see what he can do.

Re: torres aims high
He has the potential to be top scorer and it'd be nice to see a player up there for the first time in years.

Re: torres aims high
Can anyone confirm how much Fernando Torres cost? Every report says something different.

Re: torres aims high
I've heard everything from £18M to £26M. I think it's £20M.

In short, I cannot confirm a goddamn thing.

I fucking love Fernando though, waddaguy!

Who cares? He's already worth every single penny IMO.

If he needs 6 months to to be 100% and we are still ahead come Christmas, then the league is in the bag
