let me ask brother omnia or any other fans.. which good competent striker willing to play as a wingman (back up) to Torres? only play when he injured? of course, sometimes can play along Torres, but most likely you will be benched? the most likely answer is up and coming young striker.. cause they are "learning" mah like N'gog.. or old and understand their roles is to fill in when the main players injured like Fowler in 2005..

Bro, I don't agree about Bellars - he had that Tiger Woods encounter with Riise but otherwise, I found him a top bloke - read his recent interview and you get a sense of what the guy is all about - straightforward and honest, the kind of guy I want for a pal. Again, this is a case of the media eating up players they don't approve.
Why did he leave? Raise funds for Torres? Also injury prone unfortunately.
The thing about a backup to Torres is something that cannot drag on longer or it will really doom our chances of challenging for the title. Ngog can't be backup (at least not Plan B).
Rafa needs to be creative to find a backup for Torres when he needs a rest or is injured, or who can play 4-4-2 alongside him at home (that's 11 games or so counting out the top 7 sides, and more with the cup competitions).
I would go for a proven striker like Ruud but it seems we missed our boat.
