I've just watched the Premier League Champions elect at Anfield

Villa is linked with Arsenal today in the BBC gossip column, can't see it happening though.
Im having the same problem but leaning towards the first option. They do say form is temporary, class is permanent and since Adebayor's form has dropped he hasn't had much class to fall back on.
You can look as deep as you like but a goal is a goal and all his goals away from home (possibly except the Marseille gaol, although it was important at the time) have directly affected the outcome of the games.
It's one thing scoring goals when your side are 3-0 up and another actually winning games for your side.
Yeah I know, people have like, actually heard of him and everything. As if that'll ever happen!

The thing is, it's not necessarily Torres that needs to improve away from home, it's Liverpool as a whole, if he's not getting the service, he cant score goals.
I've said all along that Adebayor is a "good" player. Not a bad player, nor a great one. Just "good" and certainly worthy of his place in the squad. He has a terrific first touch, tremendous workrate, and a habit of scoring in the big games. But he will never be a genuine top drawer 'world beater' player.
In the years I've been following Arsenal we've always had at least one top quality striker (Smith, Wright, Bergkamp, Henry...) and this is the first year where we don't - RvP isn't quite there yet and even if you consider him to be, he's been out injured half the time.
Still, it's not all doom-and-gloom as the following have improved or debuted well this season:
-Flamini
-Hleb
-Adebayor
-Sagna
-Clichy (not necessarily improved that much but still top class)
-Eduardo (seemed to be finding his feet and then got injured)

torres>tevez for sure, i know which one id rather have in my team any day.
Caporegime
Id much rather have Tevez. Although i do really admire Torres, Tevez is just more suited to us in my opinion.
Strange you say that, most people would describe Tevez as a hard working type of player, who someone like Benitez would love in his team, a la Kuyt except not crap. Whereas Torres has everything United are all about: pace, skill and goalscoring ability.
Caporegime
Kind of, although Tevez has those attributes too (although not quite as much pace) and I just love how he holds the ball up, Id never want to lose that.
eh?
torres with a twisted ankle = 3 tevez's
tevez's finishing is as ugly as his mug, overated workhorse is he.
He's scored ~20 goals in a season where he had no pre-season at all (due to injury and transfer) and gets dropped into midfield for a 4-5-1 (or not played at all).
You go on about Tevez' finishing when Torres misses a shed load of chances every match? I'd say they're equal, Tevez is stronger and better with the ball, Torres is faster.

more than half of which were tap-ins, if we're being serious any forward with 2 working feet could get at least 10 goals a season with the chances Utd are creating.
it's torres first season and he's still very young, it's not like he gets the kind of service he would at Utd either.
you would swap tevez for torres in a heartbeat and you know it.

Soldato
I wouldn't, plenty of others wouldn't either. Tevez fits in and plays the United way. I'd gladly take Torres as well though.
Well you're all in denial then 
Torres would have outscored Ronaldo had he been in your side and the way in which he plays would have benefited Rooney too. Torres stretches defenders and that would give Rooney plenty on space between the back 4 and midfields to play in, which Gerrard has been benefiting from of late.

oh yeah look at us, look how we're suffering without torres, look how we aren't doing well at all.
how well we'd do with torres is all ifs and buts, how well we're currently doing with tevez is a matter of fact.
