If he does leave we will definitely bring in another striker, Jose has said he wants three strikers in his squad.

The stumbling block is his wages, Chelsea have already agreed terms with Milan.

ffs

Wants to stay at Chelsea, fair play.

lol reminds me of the Cesc image that leaked.

Reports earlier said they may offload him to pay for Torres' wages.

Benzema is a good striker, technically brilliant and would offer something different to Costa. The main complaint from the Real fans is that 9 times out of 10 he goes missing in the big games, look at the 2nd leg of the supercopa for example, he was dreadful. He's not one of the elite strikers but he's in a tier below, would be ideal.

Jay is out till october i think, pretty risky signing imo.

If Torres goes out on loan do you guys think it'll be Destro who comes in? i have a feeling it'll be someone out of the blue.

Milan-Torres, it waits for a response from Chelsea: the situation 26/08/2014 - 23:53 Gianluca Di Marzio Milan, all on Torres. Always chosen to replace the Spaniard Mario Balotelli.The first tip that wants Galliani is precisely El Nino, but only on loan. The high engagement is an obstacle to a possible purchase outright, instead, the player would prefer. Milan have launched a kind of ultimatum to Chelsea, that in the coming hours will have to make a decision. Torres wants to change the air, Milan can be a solution, but only - for now-for one year. The most reliable alternative is, for the moment, Roberto Soldado.Hot hours, AC Milan in the first hunting tip http://gianlucadimarzio.com/milan/milan-torres-si-attende-una-risposta-dal-chelsea-la-situazione/ I don't know what i would do if Torres declines the loan offer...

Torres in the PL for Chelsea 2010/11 - 14 apps 1 goal 2011/12 - 32 apps 6 goals 2012/13 - 36 apps 8 goals 2013/14 - 28 apps 5 goals Total - 110 apps 20 goals Fuck me, didn't think it was that bad

Torres now has the perfect chance to go and start afresh in Italy, surely he doesn't want to be third choice here and hardly play? Remember the fuss he made a few years ago after not starting the CL final...

I personally think he has plenty of pace, he doesn't always show it on the ball but he does occasionally out run two or three players like last match and against United at home last season. Without the ball I always see him sprinting up and down the pitch.

Torres out, Falcao in... it could happen, you never know.

If Oscar is to play i doubt he'll be pushed out wide, IMO Mourinho would instead play Ramires out there to balance things out. It may look pretty uninspiring with him out on the wing but it gives Cesc and Oscar more freedom to push forward. Courtois Iva - Cahill - Terry - Azpi Cesc - Matic - Oscar Ramires Hazard Costa Personally i wouldn't play Oscar in this match, nothing against him it's just that i prefer a midfield of Ramires, Matic and Cesc for this match. We also need pace on the wings. My team would be; Courtois Iva - Cahill - Terry - Azpi Ramires - Matic Cesc Willain Hazard Costa

Balague was the first one to break the Torres to Chelsea transfer, he has some connections in the Torres camp

The race continues striker, Fernando Torres advances in thoughts Rossoneri. The Spanish striker Chlesea like, with the Milan ready to bring advanced operation in the loan. This solution was unwelcome to the player who would prefer a permanent transfer. Yesterday there were contacts between Galliani and the player's attorney, who requested a three-year contract for his client. The Milan reasons, Torres remains in the list. The clock is ticking, Milan works in search of a replacement for Balotelli. http://gianlucadimarzio.com/milan/milan-contatti-con-lagente-di-torres-la-richiesta-dello-spagnolo

The players did have training today, Mourinho stated it in his CTV interview and Drogba on twitter has just said he's finished training. Very odd that Torres left the country. Also

AC Milan enquire about taking Chelsea forward Fernando Torres on loan as Italians search for Mario Balotelli's replacement http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2732856/AC-Milan-enquire-taking-Chelsea-forward-Fernando-Torres-loan-Italians-search-Mario-Balotelli-s-replacement.html

He's good but he's not one of the best players in the world is he? last season he was great, granted, but before that he was inconsistent and at times played like a headless chicken, people on Twitter act like he's the second coming. Saying that he will obviously improve United , they desperately need more pace and energy in their team and Di Maria offers that. £50-60 million though... it's not too ridiculous when you look at how much the likes of Luiz, James, Bale and Neymar went for, but in the real world it's far too much. It's funny how some united fans are saying the price is reasonable when they slated us for signing Hazard for £32 million

In the first half he was clumsy an awkward, it seemed like every time he was on the ball he lost it or made the wrong decision. The second half is a different story, he was excellent, you have to give him massive credit for raising his game.
