“Torres is an extraordinary player” but we don’t need him

Inter legend Luis Suarez does not believe Liverpool striker Fernando Torres will join the Italian club despite the arrival of Rafa Benitez as boss. Suarez believes the Spanish striker’s price tag would be too great:

“I don’t think he will come. Inter are covered up front with Balotelli, Eto’o, Pandev, Milito. Torres is an Extraordinary player, and now the fact that Benitez, his last coach, is here could suggest a transfer. But the sums involved a very, very high, and the area of the pitch is already covered. I think it’s unnecessary to spend so much”

Suarez does however believe that rumoured targets Dirk Kuyt and Javier Mascherano could be useful signings. On Kuyt, he described the Dutch forward as a “very versatile player” who “could compensate for some departures,” while he praised Mascherano for being somebody Benitez could count upon if he moved to the San Siro.
