How great would Fernando Torres be for the USMNT?

I know it is fun to make fun of how far he has fallen, but would he be a star for the USMNT? Obviously he has some of the best service in the world as he finishes many of these garbage goals, but he has scored a lot for Chelsea (especially considering how an American would do) despite how disappointing he has been.

I feel like when Dempsey had his great season for Fulham, he was taking a ton of shots and missing some easy chances. Torres seems like a better version of Dempsey sometimes (I am aware they are not playing the same position), and we LOVE Dempsey.

Maybe I am way off base here. Just trying to start some discussion. I am not committed to anything I said.

Skill wise he'd probably be our GOAT. I mean his years at liverpool he would have scored in buckets against concacaf.

Probably not that great in all honesty. He would score goals for sure, but he is nowhere near as clinical as he used to be. Which means the USMNT would have to create copious amounts of chances, something we really struggle to do.
