FFS, just pay 9m for a proven premiership goalscorer like Michael Owen who is only 27.
Morientes, Cisse etc were big signings of foreign strikers who were cr*p. Don't take a 27m pound risk.
Crouch & Kuyt aren't up to it either.
Benitez has failed to buy any striker good enough to follow Rush, Aldridge, Fowler and Owen.

A bit of a task, though, that.
Don't forget that either one of those strikers in their prime would be worth over £30m on today's market.
The only reason Owen is so cheap is because of the daft Toon putting such a ridiculous release-clause in his contract, and the fact you'd be lucky to get 10 games a season out of him nowadays.

You need to stop thinking of Owen in his hay day knocking goals in for fun because he isn't that player now. He is to injury prone and we need to move on.
I think Torres will be a good buy and will be looking forward to watching play in a red shirt.
