  ATLETICO MADRID will plead with star striker Fernando Torres to stay in Spain — despite interest from a host of Premiership clubs. Manchester United and Liverpool are rumoured to be leading the chase for the 23-year-old striker. But Atletico president Enrique Cerezo insists he has heard it all before.
  
  He said: "We always have the same problem. "Every year, either at the start of the season, midway through or at the end, it is the same. "Torres is an Atletico Madrid player and I think he is going to remain with the team for many years.
  
  "He is doing very well at Atletico Madrid, the fans want him and we want him. "Is he not for sale and I do not think he is going to leave."

  The problem with having a good player among your ranks is that everyone else would want him too.

  in the end, it took about 40 million, just to sell away your prized player

  Tevez spent one whole season in the EPL and only came good towards the last 2, 3 months... So i don't really think so. For all we know, Torres could be good from the start.
