Former United star hails Fernando

9th Oct 2009 - Latest News

Former Manchester United star Andy Cole is the latest in a long line of footballing experts to hail the striking qualities of Fernando Torres.

With eight goals to his name already this season, Torres is among the most feared forwards in the land and Cole admits he has been nothing but impressed with the performances of our number nine.
 
"Torres is at his prolific best, with eight league goals already," said Cole.
 
"Last season, it took him until February to get that many. His game isn't just about the box but he's most dangerous there because his close control allows him to take possession in confined areas. He can transfer the ball from foot to foot to create space to get in a shot.
 
"At times, Torres can make out he's almost uninterested, and then tunes in, just like that, and he's away with the ball.
 
"Some say he gets most of his goals at Anfield but the stats only support that partially; five home goals this season, three away.
 
"In any case, as a striker I can tell you it doesn't matter at all where you get the goals - home, away, in your back garden. That they flow is all that matters."
