Fescue wrote: » It will be interesting to see how he performs at Barca where he will effectively be playing second or third fiddle to Messi and Neymar. Like Owen and Torres before the team at Liverpool was set up to get the best from him. I think he will do really well though, until he does something mental again. Which he will.

Edited to include: and it still amazes me just how much Torres fell apart. it was like someone turned a switch off or something. He was just so lethal at Liverpool and then the minute he transferred, he was muck ... and stayed muck. Remember his directness? One touch, run onto it, slight change of direction to leave defender on arse and finish. Unbelievable stuff. Seriously what happened him?

Fescue wrote: » That's exactly where I see Arsenal are deficient and why they haven't won the premier league in the last few years. Lots of talented players but they lack the mentally tough fighters that win you leagues. Look at city, for all the wonderful players they have, its the mental toughness and attitude of Kompany and Zabaletta that holds it all together.
