He is keen to learn and he will improve but how much depends on him." [LNB]Benítez said he was always confident the 25-year-old would become one of the world's greatest strikers after bringing him to Anfield from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2007. [LNB] "If you think about the money we were spending on players we then decided to spend £20 million on Torres that was a massive figure for us," admitted the Spaniard. [LNB] "We decided to bring him here because of his quality but also his potential and the future he had. [LNB] "We had a lot of confidence he would get better and we are pleased now but he can improve."
