Torres is a revelation when he comes off the bench? What? Point me out five games where he's changed the game after coming off the bench, please.
How can you have someone who's on £175k a week as a second choice striker? No way. If we got an offer for him I'd sell straight away simply because it'll alleviate his wages off of our wage budget which will allow us to get in a proper starting striker.
Demba Ba is the perfect second choice striker in my opinion. Shame people are simply now overlooking him because Torres has been on form and Ba hasn't. Ridiculous.

Id prefer him to stay and be our second striker,,,, while he doesnt do great while starting, he is a revelation when he comes on as a sub.... he does indeed change games as his game works when he has more pace and energy than his opponents.
I personally dont care if he is paid big bucks, and is our second striker.
He is certainly improving, and does great every time he comes on as a sub, and has a few good games as a starter as well.
He will be an asset as a second choice.
We need depth with quality and effectiveness.
Season after next, Lukaku will be back, so Torres can be sold with 2 years remaining, but for next season, i would definitely want him here.

I remembered last season when Iva and Bosingwa were out and AVB had to play Ferreira in the league game against Tottenham. Paulo had Gareth Bale in his pocket and was included in the all star team of that week. The guy is class, never complains but is always prepared to play. He is not like FloMo or Winston Bogarde.

Thank you for everything Paulo, always delivered when we needed you, just like last season when you had to come up against Bale and had him in your pocket.

LOL That's what I was thinking. More like we'll ALLOW you to keep Courtois for another year on loan if you knock some cash off of Falcao's price.

Sad to see so many of us that are afraid of Bayern. Now everyone seems to be afraid of Bayern just like they were afraid of Barca a year ago. We are Chelsea and we don't fear anyone. We can beat them again. Even if the players don't show up we will still win like we did against Benfica last night.
Anyway, I believe Dortmund still have a great chance of winning, because they are like us, one of the few teams who aren't afraid of Bayern.

Say what you want but Gary, just like in Munich against Gomez, saved our asses tonight. In Munich he used his head, in Amsterdam - oh my god, did you see the double tackle? That was a clear goal and he just slided in and cleared the ball. Amazing.

Maybe Monaco would fancy Torres too? After 22 goals this season and important goals during our Europa League run, I'd say 25m is a fair price for them.

Essien games have improved slowly and slowly since join Madrid. I have to thank Mou for that. We should have him back next season. He can play RB if Azpi/Ivanovic got injured and can play CDM as well. To be honest, I want Essien in the starting 11 instead of Mikel next season, if we can't buy a quality CM.
