Kenny Dalglish has expressed a hope that Fernando Torres stays at
Anfield and is sure the forward will be impressed once he hears Roy
Hodgson's plans for the club.
Dalglish also believes the club and city of Liverpool are factors
that will help keep the World Cup winner.
"When Torres sees that and talks with Roy I'm sure he'll give us good
news," he said.
"I hope Torres stays. Only Fernando knows what is going to do.
Unfortunately for him he is injured but he is a fantastic player and is
very happy around the club and the city."
Dalglish also believes recent additions to the squad plus those who
have given pledges to stay will also be crucial.
He added: "The fact that Stevie is staying will be a great help and
players like Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic, Jonjo Shelvey and Danny Wilson
means there is buying for present and the future.
New Liverpool FC left-back a priority now after the singing of Joe Cole

The Reds announced today that the England
World Cup 2010 representative ( Joe Cole ) was set to move on a free transfer,
subject to a medical, after his contract at Chelsea expired. Earlier
this month, the Reds had allowed Benayoun to head the other way for a
reported £5 million fee.
And the manager is eager to make swift additions to his squad after
revealing he may be without all of the squad’s World Cup contingent for
the first leg of their Europa League tie next week.
Insua left the team’s training camp in Switzerland on Saturday and
headed to Italy to complete a move to Fiorentina.
The Serie A side have agreed a fee of £5m with Liverpool for the
Argentine full-back, who made 60 appearances and scored one goal since
arriving from Boca Juniors in January 2007.
As Steven Gerrard surveyed his surroundings in courtroom 4:1 he was
sure of only one thing. Whatever happened, he would not come back here
again.
No more mither, as he described it in Liverpool Crown Court, no more
situations; change was the only answer.
Gerrard has never
talked about the emotions surrounding the confrontation in a Southport
bar that instigated a charge of affray and began an eight-month ordeal
but, despite the exoneration of a not guilty verdict, it is clear the
episode has left a mark on him.
The judge, Henry Globe, said that
the accused could walk away with his reputation intact, and plainly this
mattered greatly.
'I’m the sort of player who likes to keep it
clean,' Gerrard told me, in a tiny ante-room at Liverpool's Melwood training ground.
