As a Torres fan for about over 10 years it hurts to see him become a complete laughing stock since he joined us. Hopefully the change of scenery does him good, he was too great a player for his career to end like this. Same thing with Shevchenko really, I can't bring myself to hate either player.

Happy to see him leave! Better for the club and him. But the amout of classless wankers on this forum is just sad. I bet all of you posting crappy gifs and other shit did the same out of happyness when he joined us!

You guys are wack... Nobody can want him to move from CFC more than me but wishing career threatening injuries on anyone is classless.

If we sell ryan to them IF he has a good season we should try and get young matt in the deal. 5mil £ and matt would be a good deal!

I wanted 8 to go to Baker

18 I think

I would rather keep him and loan salah!

Let Cech go, then a few years bring him back to be our new Mark Schwarzer, when he's at that level he won't mind being our #2 and will retire him and possibly even work in the club after he retires from playing.
Best plan imo.

Lets get targett in exchange and 7-8mil £ after his loan! Young english fullback who can replace luis in 3 years time!

Benfica lot weren't lying when they said we signed the best DM in the world were they.

Probably eating a hamburger somewhere

Give him lampards number 8 and a squad role this season!

He just does not inspire confidence in me, he is the opposite of Boga who everytime his on the ball I expect big things from him, would rather his spot in the team be taken by a better youth prospect to be honest

A guy in the prime of his career who has been utterly usurped by other signings and is still happy to say just seems totally unambitious to me - ironically that's what has defined his playing style here. The myth of this colossus of the Nigerian national team has surely been put to bed too with his recent showings.
The likes of Van Ginkel and Chalobah need gametime and this guy needs to show the desire to be an important first-team member for a decent side rather than a bit-part player for us. We replaced him with Matic in January.

You guys say you dont expect something else from him but you always react in such a fickle way. So it must mean you expect something else deep inside! They played shit und and he missed a sitter one thing I expected (torres missed but why the fuss) and the other thing did not expect spain to loose like that!

He touched him he didnt ask for a pen. I am not standing up for torres but you guys use everything against him! He has become a bad player get over it!

Because I'm not convinced by one single performance. I still believe he is one of the most uncreative no. 10s I have ever seen. I believe creativity is instinctual ala Hazard, Fabregas, Mata etc. and I believe it does not come as naturally to him as the players I've mentioned, especially against teams who sit back.
If people believe Fabregas' creativity is a magic bullet for our problems when facing smaller opposition, well then they're in for a disappointment. What if he's injured, tired or having a bad game? We also need a creative no. 10 to carry the load and so far I have not seen enough of it from Oscar (my stance on this has not changed since the whole 'Oscar V Mata' thread back in last September).
However, I think he deserves one more season as 10 to see if he really can do it...but I wouldn't pass up a stupid overinflated World Cup bid in the meantime...

Great performance. I don't expect 22 year olds to be consistently great in various roles.

The way 21/22 year olds get slaughtered by our own fans when they go through their growing pains.it's probably for the best that we keep loaning our youngsters away.

Couldn't pick a different Dutchman for your avatar, mate? lol

This is really turninig out to be another falcao hulk sagas!

Doubt it will be easy getting him. Arsenals buy back and first option could be a problem. I mean are they really that stupid even if they dont want him why would wenger let us get him. I can see them getting him in the end!

I find this amazing and thus why I'm slightly cautious about this story. Wenger is a spiteful guy imo.. He would rather sign Cesc himself than let him come to us so we can bury Arsenal for another season.. It was different with RvP and Nasri, he had no control because they wanted to go, he can easily get Fabregas back if he wanted to.

Just spend the extra cash and get Pogba

@BrazilStats: PSG coach Laurent Blanc has openly confirmed to TF1 that his club is interested in signing Chelsea duo David Luiz, and Oscar.
