http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1284101/Chelsea-aim-advantage-chaos-Liverpool-big-new-bid-Fernando-Torres.html Probably [read: almost definitely] more paper talk with little substance, but the claims about Torres -> Chelsea are growing in number. You've also got to think, will he want to stay at a club not in champions league, with ownership problems, massive debt and managerial uncertainty? Probably not. Will he want to go to any club not in champions league and purely for money? Probably not Manchester Shitty. Will he want to go to Manchester United? No! Will he want to go to Real Madrid? Probably not based on his Atletico connections. Barcelona? Well they have just signed David Villa, they have Ibrahimovic, Messi, Pedro, Henry, usually only play with one striker, can't see Torres or Villa working as wingers so it's unlikely they'll burn 50-70 million on him. Atletico? Not in champions league and probably don't have the financial clout to take him back. So we do seem like the most logical option unless he'd prefer to see out his contract or we decide we don't want him.
