Liverpool needed such a big star, so it was also useful for them.
Good transfer for both clubs, and player himself also.

He will be a very good player for the team this season as well. When it comes to Torres I agree with mike. And btw. I'm one of few who believes Torres was to expensive when Liverpool bought him. I do not agree that he is ALL THAT GOOD. Atletico have an exciting team, with players such as Diego Forlan and Aguero, like mike says. They have built a good team for little money!

It was a good move as the former Man U player did a good job at Villareal, and he is one of the best scorers in Spain for a last few seasons. Now with Aguero and this year signing Sinama-Pongolle their attack looks really well

They also got some other big players like Simao, Raul Garcia, Luis Garcia

This season the added Gregory Coupet, Johny Heitinga and Tomas Ujfalusi for a really small money.

On Ronaldo, he just returned from injury, and for his first two matches after returning, against Chelsea and Middlesbrough (carling cup) they have actually started to play well. Don't you agree? So I believe Ronaldo will help out well and continue to be a success at United.

I agree with you when it comes to Atletico.. Probably got some new good players for the money they got from Torres? Do you know who they signed?

Look at Barcelona - Do you think they would be better with Ronaldino? At this moment Man U also doesn't look so great with Ronaldo. And what about Atletico with Torres sale? He was a really big star there and with him they failed to get to Champions League - and now they are great!

Look at Manchester United. Won the CL and PL last season. Real Madrid wanted to sign Ronaldo for crazy money, but United want to keep their player and instead strengthen their team more with more good players!

That is the way AC Milan should do it! Silvio should spend some of his cash on new and GOOD players and not only bring in veterans on loan!

He does not seem to be interested in spending more money on his team. They need Champions League this season to get some money!

As for now they can earn only on Kaka and Pato. Other players are too old to get a good money. I don't believe that anyone will pay big money for Ronaldinho, Shevchenko or Gattuso especially that they will require a big contracts.

The are not motivated properly. There is no coach that would make a team out of it. They need to rebuilt their squad really seriously.

Ancellotti and AC Milan have underperformed a lot in recent years. But I do not believe it is just Ancellotti, they have not managed to bring in just good players. Players like Ronaldinho and Scheva, come from clubs where they have underperformed, and they could fail at AC Milan as well.

AC Milan haven't realy spent a lot of money on new players in recent years either.
