One of my favourite ever non Arsenal players. Absolutely ridiculous and exposed Vidic for the slightly above average defender he was

For one of the most decorated players in the game (CL, EL x2, Euro x2, WC) , his scoring record oesn't come anywhere close to 'Tier 2' forwards ike Cavani, Ibra and Lewandowski.
It's dumb to compare his 3 years at Pool to Shearer or Henry who played many more seasons and maintained a high standard. Torres' grade post 2010 is a C+ at best.

Well yeah
He had his knee injury at the end of the 2009/10 season which he opted for a quick fix op to play in the World Cup, it ended up ruining him as a player
To him, the World Cup trophy he had as a result was worth it
