Depends upon my mood as to whether it bothers me per se.
Difficult to say on Torres if he will add to their squad as much as they hope. Here is an article here which talks about his strengths and weaknesses so it's make up your own mind time:
Will Torres be a Kop's new God?
Frankly, I think he's overpriced but I think the pressure will all be on Benitez.
If you look at what Benitez has done since his arrival he has won the CL but done nada in the premiership. During that time he has proven to be very adept at getting his team prepped for European nights but move a match to the weekend and give him premiership competition and he mucks up.
He's now got Torres and probably he will spend more cash before he's done but that will not guarantee him anything - Torres is a big gamble, probably the biggest gamble of his career to date.
So if he doesn't come good then Benitez may finally come under the kind of pressure he dismisses when Jose's problems are mentioned.
He's now in the same boat as Jose and has to produce every game, not give up by Christmas and concentrate on the CL.
In the end we can't get concerned about other teams, we just have to try and concentrate on ours. Liverpool still have some way to go to bridge that points gap, Torres may go a great deal of the way to closing it yes but Benitez will have to do the rest.
For some reason I have to admit it annoys me more if Liverpool do well than MU in terms of our competition - may be it's because of the CL losses or may be it's because they keep banging on about their bloody history every five minutes - no actually it's both.
Liverpool on paper should be an increased threat next year, Torres should add something to them which they did not have before.
But then all the top teams should have improved.
