Not sure my self as ive never rated him but i suspose he has PL experience and one his strenghs seems to be holding the ball up so he could work well with Geo and Campbell ( when he signs )

And he is better than Folan and Manucho

He's quite clearly a confidence player. When he started the season well at West Ham, he continued his form pretty much all season, and he was the centre of their attack. He's physical, and for a side like Hull, you know you can play direct upto him and there's a fair chance it'll stick so he'd go pretty well. If they got some legs off him, like Campbell, you'd have to think it could be a decent partnership.

At the right price, he'd be an excellent signing for Hull. He never got a chance at Villa but at West Ham, he proved himself at this level, he's decent, just capabale of the odd blooper.

I disagree Rob, Real were at their most successful when Del Bosque was in charge, who isn'r really a household name.

I know del Bosque was in charge back then, but this is a side already known for their big ego's in the dressing room, and now they've added Kaka and Ronaldo, with more signings imminent.

I just think a coach like Hiddink, or a Capello, can build the foundations for Madrid, Capello done it in his last time at the club and made it a lot easier for the disastrous Schuster. I just think somebody like Pellegrini may struggle to gain the respect of all of the dressing room, we all know how influential Raul is at the club, and with even more ego's coming in, I feel they may struggle.

If Pellegrini fails, and I were Real, I'd be doing my best to get either Hiddink or Mourinho in charge for the next year.

Ferguson should be making moves towards Torres. He should be suggesting massive bids and massive wages to possibly get him, bit more likely to force Liverpool to pay him more.

And Chelsea and Man City should be throwing bids in as well just to make it a bit more interesting.

Torres has recently signed a new £110,000 a week deal, so he won't be getting more money or moving to a new club anytime soon.

Now Ronaldo has gone, the two best players in the Premier League both play for Liverpool.
