Why don't Liverpool pay £40m over 4 years for David Villa?
Fernando Torres has asked Liverpool to bring in his Spain international strike partner to play alongside him at Anfield.
"Rafa Benitez makes the signings and I'm sure those who come will improve us," Torres said in the Daily Star.
"If it was me I would bring David Villa. But that may not be possible."
"We play well together and link up so well," he added.
"It's a pleasure to play with him.
"I don't know if we are the best partnership in the world but we are European champions and that is almost the same."
With Villa in the side, Liverpool would gain more points and therefore be likely champions of the Premier League.
Therefore why don't Liverpool offer Valencia £40m in instalments over four years? Surely that amount is affordable to Liverpool, given they've bid £17m for Pompey's Glen Johnson.
