Jamie Carragher warns Liverpool against re-signing Torres

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has warned the club against re-signing Fernando Torres because he believes the striker is past his best.
Reports have emerged the Reds, who are on the lookout for a new frontman, are interested in bringing the Spaniard, currently on loan from Chelsea at AC Milan, back to Anfield.
But Carragher believes his former team-mate’s best days are behind him having failed to reignite his career in Serie A, and reckons Brendan Rodgers should be targeting an up-and-coming starlet instead.
“I wouldn’t like to see [Fernando Torres return], if I’m being totally honest,” he told the Weekend Sports Breakfast.
“If Liverpool bring a striker in you want a young, fresh, and energetic young fellow who is looking to make a name for himself.
“Fernando Torres has had an unbelievable career with the trophies that he has won but I think we saw the best of him at Anfield and that was quite a few years ago now.
“It’s been unfortunate for the lad, the way his career has gone since then. He’s still picked up plenty of trophies with Chelsea and Spain.
“With that move to Milan you’re thinking a slower paced game would suit him a bit more now, because of the problems he’s had with injuries, but it looks straight away that AC Milan are keen to offload him.
If Chelsea and Milan are thinking the same I don’t think anything would change too much at Liverpool.
“I wish him well but I think we should be looking for something else.”
