Spanish striker Fernando Torres hinted he would leave Liverpool if it does not make several big signings at the end of the season. Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage and it fell well behind in the league title race early in the season. “We need four or five top-level players in order to compete, better than those of us already here so that they make us all work hard to keep our places." However, Torres acknowledged that his contract runs until 2013 and said that he was “very happy” at Liverpool.
