Torres signing was the best part of last season and I'm still excited he's a Chelsea player. Let's wait and see what AVB will coax out of him.

No Ross Turnbull? AVB out!

Hasn't the "undoubtedly hopeless" Torres scored 27 times for Spain, including in a European Championship final? Didn't he become the fastest player in Liverpool's history to reach 50 league goals? Just wondering.

Did they go on the BBC website?

No mention of his injuries then? Look at how prolific he was at Liverpool - hardly undoubtedly hopeless, was he?

Write him off after half a season?

BBC confirm we have bid - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14214231.stm

They just zoomed in on his clipboard - it's hardly hacking a dead girl's phone in terms of journalistic wrongdoing.

Shut 'em down, Roman!

The inevitable games against Porto and Real in the Champions League. And Torres winning the league in front of the Kop End.

Messi. But in terms of games against Chelsea, Ronaldinho. Messi was invisible when I went to the CL games in 2009 and 2006, but Ronaldinho blew me away in 2005, when he was at the top of his game.

I'm a Torres fan, but you could say the same about West Ham and Wycombe, to be fair.

Great news - he can get first team experience with Athletico before replacing Cech in a few years. He's only a year younger than his predecessor De Gea, who has moved to United, which is interesting.

City have basically signed him - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14173261.stm

Not quite.

Osama bin Laden?

http://www.dailymail...eason-tour.html AVB: "I have 15 days in Asia and I think I need those four games to continue to assess. Probably when we get back we have a week running into a game with Rangers and I think from then on decisions will have to be taken to be ready for the first game of the season. I gave them that flexibility from the beginning. Normally people are expected to arrive at Chelsea and make radical changes but we are taking everything on board before taking the right decisions. All of these players are experienced and have won a lot in their careers. So it is not just this 33-year-old arriving and showing them the way. It's more them who show the way forward."

Winning the league from 2005-6, Carlo's double and knocking Liverscum out of the Champions League twice in two years.

Press conference posted in the Thailand thread.

He's on the move again - City have accepted a new Corinthians bid. That means he's not joining us, thankfully, but they'll be desperate to replace him, probably with Aguero.
