There's no hiding place this time around. He's playing for the biggest club in the World where all eyes will be on him.

Costa vs Falcao will finally be settled.

Falcao since moving to Europe: 104 goals in 134 games
Costa since moving to Europe: 82 goals in 231 games

There is nothing to be settled only you make it something everyone else knows who the better player is.

Costa since he stopped playing for Rayo or second fiddle to Falcao and started playing as the main striker in a top team: scored 40+ in the most succesful Atletico season ever leading them to a La Liga and a CL final, PL top scorer.

While Fraudcao played half of those in Portugal or France and had to move every time his team got in CL so that he wouldn't get exposed on the big stage.

Scored a disallowed goal Smile

Bastards took away his routine big game goal. Awful decision.

WTF Torres got an appreciation thread? This is golden. I'm almost tempted to use an emoticon. But won't.

His curse has ended today.

I would still take him back today.

Why? He's not very good, and left you for a paycheck.

"Grass is always greener" seems to apply particularly to Liverpool fans in recent seasons.

@ Viva: He joined us for a paycheck...

@ RedO: To be fair, we're heading into APRIL with our top goalscorer so far on 10 goals. (34 year old Steven Gerrard, too. Who's been riddled with injuries since Dec.) But yeah, I agree. Although it was a good day. Good to see the healthy again relationship of Torres and Anfield. (The picture of he, Suarez, Gerrard, Alonso etc killed me.) Proud

Just seems to me that strikers aren't exactly the problem where Liverpool need investment the most. And if they were... Well, you know. Probably not that one.

Our top scorer in the league is 6 goals.

6.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Mar 30, 2015 2:25 pm

He's crap these days, get those nostalgia goggles off lol.

I wouldn't even want him and our best striker has no knees.

Most players are money driven now, no? He was one of the reasons I became a Liverpool fan, and if he wanted to play for us again I'd welcome him back. That's all. I don't think he'd come in and be our savior or anything like that. He can still play a role though and is certainly better than anything Newcastle has.

Grass is always greener because I would still take Torres on the team because I love him as a player? He would be nothing more than a substitute, or maybe get cup games. I mean he gets time for Atletico but clearly he's not good enough for Liverpool.

Love the self-righteous attitude from the guy that doesn't even mingle with his 'fellow' Liverpool fans though. Thumbs up

Ah yes, how silly of me to forget that proper fandom is defined by continually engaging in petty and circular arguments with fellow supporters despite said arguments actively undermining enjoyment of the sport as a whole. I bow to your greater support of LFC through your continued spats with RA over whether Rodgers deserves a Nobel Prize or a day in the stocks for the season so far. Obviously I failed the litmus test of continuing to put up with being accused of being a pessimistic club-hater by those who expect us to win the title every August and an optimistic, kool-aid drinking party-liner by those who expect us to get relegated concurrently.

My humblest and deepest apologies to you, oh great paragon of TLWTM. May I always walk alone for my incompetence and ineptitude.

If only all of us Liverpool fans could be as self-righteous and turn our noses up to the opinions, beliefs and support of other fans of the same team. After all, then we wouldn't have to talk to eachother at all. Actually if all fans were more like you in general we could just close a site like this down and not have to suffer through it!

Please, it is I that should be apologizing to you. After all, we've had to expose your eyes to senseless drivel, opinions and emotions that have no place in the world of football (or the internet).
