[Peace. 4,352]

But no one has said he was poor because he doesn't suit our or Spain playing style..

Torres is neither as bad nor as good as people claim him to be !!

He had great 3 seasons with Liverpool and showed what he is capable of , he had a bad spell during his start with CFC but he started to improve and had a very good run before his red card against Swansea city , i remember everyone (including me) back then claiming that it was only a matter of time before El nino is back but then Drogba took his chance and placed Torres on the bench.

i will still wait for January when Torres gets 2 or 3 full games ,before i judge him but i still think that there is still life in our number 9.

Thinking back to my comment a few days ago i think i was too hasty to say we should cash in this January.

He has to stop this trend of one step forward two back all the time.

Signs for Chelsea (step forward), horrific debut (two back).

Decent ish performances in March (step forward), stinker in the CL at Old Trafford (two back).

Finally scoring against West Ham (step forward), his IMO 3 biggest stinkers in a Chelsea shirt against Spurs, Newcastle and Everton (two back).

Decent display against Stoke (step forward), horrendus displays against Norwich and Sunderland (two back).

Goal at Old toliet (step forward), open goal miss (two back).

Goal against Swansea (step forward), red card (two back).

Double against Genk (step forward), stinker against Le Arse (two back).

With Villa injured and Drogba off to the ACON shortly this 2012 (the first half) will be a vital year for Torres.

Why do people forget that Torres hasn't actually had a decent run of games starting as the Chelsea spearhead!

He has... after signing last season he was our main striker till the end and in the first few months this season.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Weird to think we signed him a year ago..gone so quick!!!!!

Really hope with ACON he can shrug off this bad form and show what he can do.Be no better time to do it really because he will be imporant in that month.

As usual, he says the right things lol.

AVB apparently not looking for a striker in January which definitely would give Torres another chance. But with Nico and possibly Malouda/Kalou leaving, I can't help but feel that we would be short of options in an injury crisis. Maybe not an actual striker, but a very versatile attacker in the mould of Aguero, Neymar, Hazard (though not those exact players ofcourse, too expensive)

Got a feeling we're going to see [Mata-Sturridge-Malouda] during January anyway, to be honest.

Yes. It worked great against Blackburn....

[Hd123 5]

Malouda hasn't played well since.. Icant even remember

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yeah cos Torres is fucking brilliant, isn't he?

You can't judge that on 45 minutes against a team hellbent on defending deep for a draw.

Lol did i even mention Torres?

Sturridge is awesome on the right, i don't see any point in moving him to the center anymore - just my opinion.

We'll just have to make do with Torres and Lukaku till Drogba comes back.

*not ruling out the possibility of AVB signing a striker in January though.

Just can't see us bearing any threat with Torres on the pitch... at least Malouda tries to get involved... that was my point.
