Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, the reds hitman Fernando Torres has urged the clubs owners to put aside their differences and ensure that Liverpool compete off the field with the biggest European sides.
Fernando Torres is Liverpool’s record signing at around £21 million, but last summer saw a relatively small transfer investment overall with a large amount of money recouped from some high value transfers out of Anfield.
Torres is in no doubt that improved spending can help narrow the gap between the reds and the other top three clubs.
“It’s clear that they (United and Chelsea) have a lot of £20million or £25m players, and that difference is what separates us in the table.
“I hope that the club does what needs to be done and we can quickly catch them up.
“In order to compete with Manchester United and Chelsea, if we can’t keep up with them economically, then we have to get it absolutely right in the transfer market.”
Torres shrugged off suggestions that the feud behind the scenes affected him this season.
“It may have had more of an effect upon my team-mates.
“But the truth is, that between the language and the fact that I don’t pay much attention to that stuff, or to any of the problems, it hasn’t affected me.
“Liverpool is a big club that knows how to isolate you from those issues in order to stay competitive.”
its a great idea to bring in big players`eg quersmae jesues navas benzema but we need to get rid of the dead wood in our squad eg kewel risa veronin crouch i think we need DIC to help us to that all what the yankees have done is corz problems
Villa would be nice signing.. He scored 3 goals against Russia at Euro2008
Nando is only saying what most of the supporters think and it’s only by investment in top players that will keep us in the battle for top spot. Hicks and Gillett don’t seem to have grasped that yet and if they want Rafa to sell some good players to buy replacements all we will be doing is standing still as Rafa has gone as far as he can go by selling to buy and the knock on effect could be another season like the last and if that happens we will lose one of the best coaches in our league and all because we have a miserly owner who wants it done on the cheep….
