Fernando Torres: Liverpool FC must spend big to compete next season
Fernando Torres[LNB]Fernando Torres has admitted he will think about his future at Liverpool if the club do not buy the players needed to turn them into Premier League contenders.[LNB]Liverpool are currently sixth place in table, a point behind Tottenham and Manchester City having played more games than all of their main rivals for the fourth Champions League berth.[LNB]And having also failed in both domestic cup competitions and lost the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie with Lille on Thursday, it could end up being a season to forget for the Reds.[LNB]However, more than the quest to finish fourth, Torres believes the most important thing on Liverpool's horizon is that they make a major assault on the transfer market this summer.[LNB]When asked by Spanish newspaper AS if he planned to leave the Reds if they failed to qualify for the Champions League, Torres said: 'It's too soon to talk, I honestly think that we're going to be fourth, but for me Champions League qualification isn't so important.[LNB]'The really important thing is that the club makes a big effort and brings in important players, who will improve the quality of the squad.[LNB]'We need four or five top-class players to compete, better than we have here, who will make us grit our teeth and do everything we can to try and keep our places.[LNB]'Without reinforcements next year we will once again be fighting to be fourth.[LNB]'I want to fight next year to win the Premier League, to win the Champions League or the Europa League, but for this there have to be signings.'
