Does anyone know if Fernando Torres could be the grandson of the famous Manuel "Manolo" Torres who was with Real Zaragoza in the 1950ies and even played for Real Madrid temporarily??( http://antoncastro.blogia.com/2005/011502-manuel-torres-un-lateral-del-madrid-y-del-zaragoza.php )


It says he has scored 0 goals and has 0 apperances and there is some "blabla" bullshit. should be fixed. Stupid vandalism


Well yeah he is outstanding, but there is no such thing as a 'complete' player, all have weaknesses. --Djjazzyjeff69djjazzyjeff69--Djjazzyjeff69 01:42, 6 February 2006 (UTC)


Is there not way too much transfer speculation on here, which is presented as fact ? Hardrada 19:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I think it's ok to present transfer speculation, as long as you use reliable sources. Meaning more serious net pages, like BCC, The Guardian, Teamtalk etc. NuclearFunk 22:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

His first photo at the top of the page is very old. He looks completely different now, with a very different hairstyle, someone needs to update that. I would but I wouldn't know where to get the picture from, without it violating copyright etc.

[edit] Grammer

The grammer on this page is awful!

I'm not suprised you think it's awful. Coming from a person who spells grammar as "grammer."--Ealgian 19:22, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Ealgian

[edit] Correction

He has not been named Man of the Match after the Spain 3 -1 Tunisia. Xabi Alonso has. ;) Already edited.

[edit] bit about him on his childhood plz

I wanna know how he was raised, how good his family was, any decent memories he's had, or any pain & suffering he's been through. I also want to know what team he supported when he was a child, and like what his goals and achievements were when he was a teen. Darkroom Danny 08:54, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

!!pedo/stalker alert!!

*laugh* well do it urself if ur so eager Behind the veil

>>thats pathectic<< do you really need to know all this stuff about him isn't that a bit stalkerish. you only need to know this stuff if your a friend, family, girlfriend or partner. do you no how obsessive you sound. amelia


Surely that 9.95s thing is a joke? That's World class sprinting.

[edit] Likes to play flute in his spare time to relax??

Ha...Good one guys. Inappropriate but it made me laugh.


Some facts...he intially started playing as a goalie but when he broke his teeth playing his mother told him to switch positions or stop playing. He was nicknamed El NiƱo not beacuse of his youthful face but because he started with Atletico de Madrid when he was about 16 yrs old. His grandfather played in Atletico de madrid and thats why he wanted to play on that team as well.

[edit] Vandalism

There has been a lot of vandalism lately. Shouldn't this article become protected? --Ealgian 22:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Ealgian

[edit] Transfer Speculation

There's a tonne of waffle laid down in the transfer section in this article, primarily by Manchester United fans. Most of this needs to be cut out, as it forms almost half of the article, with most of it being hearsay and unsourced. Niall123 18:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

The Liverpool part is inacurate there hasn't been any report recently linking him with that club unlike the Manchester United speculation which was reported in The Sun, so has been deleted and will be again unless the writer provides a link to the report.

most of the speculation is with man utd, mainly because they are very interested in torres. some is untrue but torres himself has confirmed man utd have been in contact with atletico on numerous occasions. Torres was in the summer appearntly very interested in a move to man utd and had his agent looking at houses in the machester area. however atletico spent big so he decided to give them another season to match his ambitions. however they look like they are going to go another year without a trophy (out of the copa del ray, and very ulikley to win la liga) there only hope is to get into the champions lge. with the top 4 in spain sevilla, barca, real and valencia, its gonna be very hard for them to get a champs lge spot. to fulfill his potential he will have to move. people say how good he is but he never played at the highest club level in the champs lge. for such a talented player its a real shame

All speculation will be deleted unless it as links with it, also quotes from the player that have no link will also be deleted.

[edit] speculations, speculations and more speculations

IMO, the interminable number of transfer speculations to buy Torres are almost always false and they are set up by your agents to overrated him (even more). And it looks that it works very well this strategy so aggresive.

And the article about Torres is full of speculations.
