Roque Santa Cruz is the buy of the season hands down. Buying him at 3.5 million pounds and scoring 23/24 goals in his debut season and not with a top 4 team really impresses me ALOT.

Yes,torres is another fantastic buy but i rate him second best buy and a close one. Think about it, buying him at 20+mil pounds and playing with one of the top 4 team. I didn't expect him to score that much but he must at least deliver some goods. There's an expectation for him to play well for a record signing for a top4 team

I completely agree. Expectations of Torres was high despite him only scoring once in three games for Atletico. There were no expectation of Santa Cruz. There was therefore more pressure on Torres to perform as all eyes were on him. Andy Gray paid him a huge compliment by claiming he was the complete centre forward and when a bluenose says that, you know this kids special. Santa Cruz was given little attention much like Benni McCarthy in his first season. Now that there are expectations, let's see if he performs in his 2nd season. McCarthy himself has moved down the pecking order near the end of the season behind Jason Roberts.

Yup,now that there are expectations of santa cruz, we shall see whether he still performs at the same level or not. I believe torres will, no doubt. If you talking about the long run, torres is the better buy, definitely. But this season? santa cruz gets the award.
