TORRES - REDS MUST SPLASH OUT
Fernando Torres wants Liverpool's co-owners put aside their differences and splash the cash this summer in order to end an 18-year league title drought at Anfield.
The Reds have not sampled league success since 1990 and last month captain Steven Gerrard called for Liverpool's American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett, to spend big in order to close the gap on Manchester United and Chelsea at the top of the Premier League.
And star striker Torres, who was a record-breaking signing last July, has now echoed the sentiments of his skipper and is eager for Gillett and Hicks to end their much publicised bust-up in order to allow manager Rafa Benitez to land his top targets.
Liverpool - who recently announced a £33million loss in the financial year ending 31st July 2007 - have already spent on Udinese full-back Andreas Dossena, but Torres is hopeful the Italian's arrival will be the first of many.
"It's clear that they (United and Chelsea) have a lot of £20million or £25m players, and that difference is what separates us in the table," Torres told the Liverpool Echo.
"I hope that the club does what needs to be done and we can quickly catch them up.
"In order to compete with Manchester United and Chelsea, if we can't keep up with them economically, then we have to get it absolutely right in the transfer market."
Hicks and Gillett have endured a difficult relationship on Merseyside, but Spanish ace Torres - who hit 24 Premier League goals last season - insists that the in-house feud has not affected him.
"It may have had more of an effect upon my team-mates," Torres continued.
"But the truth is, that between the language and the fact that I don't pay much attention to that stuff, or to any of the problems, it hasn't affected me.
"Liverpool is a big club that knows how to isolate you from those issues in order to stay competitive."
Torres is currently preparing for Spain's opening match in Euro 2008 against Russia on Tuesday, but he also has his mind on domestic matters.
The 24-year-old surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy's record for goals scored by a foreign striker in a debut Premier League campaign, but he is wary of the 'second season syndrome' ahead of his return to Liverpool.
"The second season is always the more difficult. People know all about me now, although I know more about my opponents as well," Torres added.
"But there's no doubt that I will have to account for the fact that I am better known from now on."
