GeorgeECFC 4,430 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Robin Van Persie vs Fernando Torres ok lots of people i kno are saying that Torres is goin to be better then VP this year and in gerneral. I don't agree with this and want to kno what you think Well if Torres plays to his best, he will without doubt be one of the best striker in the Premiership, and better than Van Persie. However, I feel that he might turn out to be a Shevchenko or a Morientes, at least for the 1st few months or even season. I think we're going to have to wait and see how Torres does before we can make a decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PRO_EVO 22 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Robin Van Persie vs Fernando Torres He will be a good striker but i dont think as good as VP purley because he has to adapt to the Premiership for la liga and that is very difficult. Look at all the players who played in la liga and game to the premiership. they reali havent done very well. I.e baptista, garcia etc. Plus VP i younger 22 and his goal rate is better. You dont see torres scoring goals like Van Persie did against Middlesborough which was put in for goal of the season ? imo Van Persie all the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spanglish 101 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Robin Van Persie vs Fernando Torres Here are the best videos of each player starting with torres: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGshR6vgVEY IMO, Torres has the vision, seems always to know where the keeper is, RVP has the power and accuracy, don't think you can go wrong with either, but Torres get's my vote.

One VP is younger, 2 he has a better goal rate, 3 he is faster and more accurate. I think this shows him to be a better player. Torres overated atm and liverpool payed far to much.

You can't really compare them,but if you asked me which one would I prefer at Chelsea,I would say Van Persie.But to say that Torres outclasses him in every aspect,it's been silly.. I would agree more with this quote here.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zazoon 141 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Robin Van Persie vs Fernando Torres . One VP is younger According to the SM data Torres is the one who is younger. IMO, they are different type of players. RvP is ideal for 4-3-3 system. And Torres as a CF can be used in every system. I think that the club should have both types of players and that direct comparison of these two is very ungrateful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good in air, can fight with defenders, and a good finisher. VP would add variety in the attack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spanglish 101 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Robin Van Persie vs Fernando Torres I'm also failing to understand why these two are being compared ? RVP is an established premiership player, everybody knows he has the quality. Torres also has quality, but as many of you have not seen him week-in-week-out your not sure whether he can suceed in the EPL. Can't see how you can compare a premiership established player to one who isn't, only Torres knows how he will perform next season, nobody else. Wouldn't it have been wiser to compare say Nani & Babel, two players without premiership experience,or even Nani and Anderson, two without experience and coming from the same league ? Just my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has a better goal rate? RVP has 21 goals in 72 games in the Prem over 3 seasons, whilst Torres has 76 in 172 in La Liga over the last 5 seasons, being his clubs top scorer every season. And although intl level, RVP has 7 in 19, Torres 14 in 40, if i wanted an out and out CF, i know id have Torres anyday, wide man - RVP. 3. Faster makes you a better F? Again i disagree, look at the likes of Shearer and Teddy over the years, not much pace but deadly infront of goal. More accurate, surely he would have scored more then...? 4. Torres was 20mil, as he is younger. Henry was a bargain, but in this day in football, you would not get 50mil for a man at 29, football prices has changed in the last 3-4 years dramatically.

That is for sure. But my opinion about Eduardo would be slightly different if he signed for Liverpool. I wouldn't be so sure of his success then. I think that Arsenal's football is much better for him and he could adapt faster to that style. If you asked me before all this for which club should he play in England I would say Arsenal, and maybe ManU. But he is a quality and would probably be the same with Liver and Chelsea.

On the subject of the two players mentioned and the question you asked ,both players are totally diff to positions they play ,Prem experience etc,The two clubs Arsenal and Liverpool play diff types of footie to each other so if your going to tell some one they dont know football because you dont like answer then i will say look in mirror because whoever started this thread by asking to compare these two players as if they are the same type dosnt know football,and the answer is in YOUR mirror.

Rosicky - 8mil Sagna - 7.5mil Walcott - 5mil, rising to 12 based on apps etc Pires - 6mil Eduardo - 10mil These are just a few, so despite them buying cheap players over the yars, when they want to they can seem to spend quite big and break the budget, buying someone for about 10mil.

Eduardo - 7 million Apart from Jeffers imo all them were very good deals and here are a few amazing ones - Anelka - 500k 65 apps 23 goals. sold for 22.3 million. Viera - 3.5 million...dont really need to explain the amazing CM. Toure - 150k ... now one of the best CBs in the game. Fabregas - Undisclosed but its meant to be around 200k and now R.Madrid want him for 25 million.... Eboue - 1.54 million and now is a starter in Arsenal's squad and Ivory Coast's. ...simply amazing if you ask me and this is his record - * FA Premier League (3): 1998, 2002, 2004 * FA Cup (4): 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005 * FA Community Shield (3): 1998, 1999, 2002, 2004 * Manager of the Year (3): 1998, 2002, 2004 and he has a 57.50% of wins and has managed in 600 games.
