Fulham boss Hughes understands Chelsea spending big for Torres

Fulham boss Mark Hughes has no problem with the fee Chelsea paid for Fernando Torres.

Chelsea coughed up £50 million to take Torres from Liverpool.

"Torres is worth what people are prepared to pay for him, but it's obviously a huge amount of money," Hughes said.

"In terms of what's available, when a top player comes onto the market there will always be a premium added.

"But Torres has been one of the Premier League's top players ever since he's come here.

"He's up there with the best of them and with that type of player you must pay a significant amount of money.

"That's what Chelsea have done and it has sent a real notice of intent over where they expect to be."
