At £20 million, Torres is Liverpool's record signing. He signed a 6-year deal, and has already said that he intends to at least play for Liverpool for the 6 years of his contract. It was widely reported that Torres took a pay cut as part of the transfer – a drop from £103,000 a week in Spain, to about £90,000 according to The Times.

Along with Steven Gerrard, Torres was one of two Liverpool players nominated for the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year. He did not reach the final shortlist of three players for this award.

On August 11, Torres made his competitive debut for Liverpool against Aston Villa in a 2-1 win. He scored his first English Premier League goal on his Anfield debut on August 19, in the 16th minute in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea.

Torres scored his first hat-trick for the club on September 25 in a 4-2 away win against Reading in the League Cup.

On November 28, Torres scored his first two Champions League goals for the club in a group game against F.C. Porto, which the Reds won 4-1.

If he carries on producing the goods Torres will undoubtedly go down as a Liverpool great.
