A typically explosive tabloid story is doing the rounds today. Striker Fernando Torres has said that he would be more than happy to stay at Liverpool for the rest of his career, but only if they start to win trophies (The Sun).

Now this in confusing and it makes you wonder aboutg the tiuming of this sudden committment. Or, more importantly, whether this statement has any basis in fact.

One thing is for sure - Torres is in excellent form and seems to love nothing more than hitting the back of the net in a Liverpool shirt. He has already shown doubters that his high fee was well worth every penny.

In many ways he is keeping the club on track right now. One can only imagine where the'd be if you took away his impressive goal tally. Worry not Reds fans.

I'm sure that the Anfield trophy cabinet will soon have another addition - who knows, maybe the Champions League trophy will be secured for the sixth time. After all, they are poised to ease past (supposedly) the most in-form team in Europe in Inter Milan.

Torres should be there for the long haul, or at least as long as Benitez is around.
