I can't say I am very excited to see us linked with Torres. I would expect him to have a hell of a time adjusting to the Serie A and IMO, this transfer would be a huge waste of money for Atletico would hardly agree to sell him for less than 30-35 mil euros - especially, with Chelski in the picture and they have been monitoring him for a year or two now.
Unless Atletico owe us something like 20 mil euros AND are willing to pay it back with a Torres transfer (something I find quite unlikely), a possible Torres purchase could be a big financial blow for us and seriously disrupt our rebuilding of the defence and adding even more quality in midfield too ... along with the excellent chance that he won't make it in Italy.
