If Injuries haven't hampered him, he'd have much more goals then Torres.
edit: Also, RVP does much more for the team then Torres. Torres waits for the ball and his teammates most of the time I see him.

But we're talking now...not in a few years...thereby making your point about Torres' legs irrelevant.
So you're saying that Owen 'is not a great football and never was...' one too?

Well no, read it. I've never claimed any such remark about Owen. What am saying is Fernando is a fantastic goalscorer, but he's not and NEVER WAS a great footballer, will score you goals all day long, not arguin' that. But his main asset MOVEMENT, all stems and generates from his sheer pace that he has. Unfortunatley, the pace starts to receed and decrease around the 28/29 mark and them later years, you have to rely and being a good '' footballer '' and having a good football '' brain '' Nando hasn't got that.

Right for a start, where you question me on '' Him losing his athletic abilites when he's 28/29 is just according to you '' well notice I say '' later years '' meaning, it may happen after 28/29, also it is not just according to me.

You're also missing the point '' Good Footballer ''
Has he got great technical ability? No
Has he got great first touch? No
Has he got excellent trapping? No
Is he a great dribbler? No
Has he got a great football brain? No
Is he a great creator of goals? No
However what he does have...
Has he got sublime pace, movement and an excellent finish? YES, for me he's the best in the world at them 3 things, when he's on song.
I love Nando as player, and I'll always respect him as a player, he's a great striker. Believe me there is noone who's watched him more than me over the last 3 and a half years, I've practically been at everymatch Liverpool have played and I've seen Nando in the flesh everyweek at his time at Liverpool. But they are the facts and will come to haunt Nando in his later years as a footballer, lads been playing top level football since he was 16, he'll be burnt out and done for by 28/29, mark my words.

those comment about his technique, im think is big insult not just as pro football player but to him personally when u consider lucas is the most technically accomplish player in that team

Don't reply me if you don't want/find it too annoying to discuss.
But the thread is about who the better player right NOW...not in the future.
You're saying that he will be burnt out when he's 28, but he isn't right now and we are not talking about who will be better in 2-3 years time, so why do you keep bringing that point up? Why does him losing his abilities in 2 years make him less of a player right now, is my question.
Sure everyone loses pace when they get older, but I highly doubt that it will be so much that he 'will be done' when he's 28/29.
Torres suddenly becomes a sub-par forward after joining Chelsea.
Spending too much time on here with useless arguments.

Sorry Mauro, you're talking shite mate. The fact you've used Youtube in your argument, well that says it all to me, no Mauro, I won't go and watch Torres dribbling compilations, I've seen him with my own eyes for the last 3 and a half years my friend. Fernando Torres is not a great dribbler at all, he beats men purely on power and pace. He doesn't touch the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Del Piero, Totti in recards to dribbling. Fernando Torres does not beat his men by outdoing them with the ball, he beats them on pure pace and power and if notice a lot of the time, he kicks the ball ahead of a player and runs, doesn't actually dribble past them, there is a difference.
Also you talk of insulting a Pro footballer on techniques etc... Mauro, you are the biggest culprit for it.
(oh nooo we got 50 millions for him)

You actually replied to me. Just thought I'd get that one out.
And anyways, yeah so I went about off-topic about Torres, I was running into another point from the previous point I was making. Why do you feel the need to pull it up? Instead why don't you actually answer the evidence I've put it against you, instead of coming back with the same old '' We're talking about NOW '' So fucking what? I'm talkin' about in a couple of years. Big fuckin' deal. Jesus christ.
'' Torres suddenly becomes sub-par forward after joining Chelsea '' When have I ever once said that? I hate using this line, because not all canadians are as thick as you when it comes to football, but fuck me, stick to hockey eh lad.

the youtube comment was just a statement to prove a point, ive watch torres many times for liverpool and spain and to say he cant dribble is a big lol
of course kick and chase is not a dribbling technique but is this all u think he can do?
im must be blind or something but have i not seen torres do cruyff turns, elasticos, in an outs, reverse trap etc? of course im not blind, you are just angry that he leave u (oh nooo we got 50 millions for him) to accept that he actually was a good dribbler. is strange he went from good dribbler in atletico and liverpool, to no technique person in chelsea?
of course im always mock players with no technique. player like darrent bent, andy carroll, simone pepe. those players are embarrassments. but torres? hes not apart of that group
is amaze to see how far some people will go to for their self-inmportance and impecious nature. love a player when he play for their team, but then we he leave it is "he wasnt that good anyway" but that is not point anyway, it is insult to torres to say he has no technique as again, which players in that liverpool team is superior? gerrard? lol
remember technique is = close control, ball retention in tight area, ball manipulation with space, variation between 1 touch to many touch, passing, good weaker foot and overall comfortably with ball in feet, how does torres not fit this description

Bad evidence. Torres gets more chances because he doesn't involve himself in the build up whereas RVP does. RVP spends more time further away from the goal then he does near it. Maybe if you compared goals per shots inside the 18 yard box then that would be a good comparison as to who is the better goalscorer.
