No, that's just continuing what we have been doing, desperately looking for a way to play Torres. The only way I'd include Torres is if he changed his game and started to contribute more in general play.
Including Torres in your suggested line-up just keeps better players out, Oscar and Moses for starters.
To be honest, I'm not even sure Ba is the solution, certainly not long-term. He's the best we have at present, but would he really secure a place in any of Europe's elite teams ?
To challenge the best we will need a world class striker. Torres is never going to become one again, Ba is good but not great. We need Roman's cheque book again.
