How did Di Matteo motivate Torres?

Torres is on a 5 year contract, just because he has started badly doesn't mean we will offload him if next season doesn't go well.

lol, if next season doesn't go well we will definitely sell him off

Honestly have some faith dude, he's our No 9 and does way more for the team then just score goals. I agree and think next season will be pivotal for his career but I still don't see us selling him anytime soon. The relationship between Fernando and Mata has blossomed and I see them causing havoc for any defense!

Where was the insult?

'Get the fuck outta here' is most of the time taken as insult among strangers but if you didn't mean it then my bad.

It's not about me having faith mate. I was just saying that if Fernando does not produce the goods this season we will definitely get rid of him by next summer IMO.

Goal here or there is still far away from his 'form'.

He might battle for posession and try to prove himself more, but he still loses ball often when trying to dribble, he dont score from far and dont

dribble past few defenders and score a goal on his own. So far all that improved was his finishing and to mention that his euro goals were fantastic passes from other players directly infront of goal.

I think Torres will never recover his top form and seriously, if he scores 10 goals in prem league and 15 overall, I will be happy enough. If he explodes fine, but I think he never will score 20 goals in single season again. Certainly he will never be player to lead team like he was at lpool or as was Rvp this season at Arsenal.

Has become better but he is still far from there.

I think he tries too much and nothing will happen with force, but only with passion.

Anyway I still support Torres, but once I though this player as first name of Spain, one of top 5 players in world, having technique, dribbling, good with head, long shots, short shots,...

Now all that makes him better is whole backup support and he will need to work things on his own.

He's had enough faith for 18 months and he's still looked like the worst transfer in British football history from the last few years.

Perhaps if we turn on him it'll motivate him to play better. I'd get pretty complacent if I had a stadium chanting my name for 18 months no matter how poorly I played.

i hate our fans foreshadowing if he doesnt score or w,e

why talk like that?

im a firm believer that Torres will come good, but our board will buy another striker this summer believe me.

I don't think anyone can deny that Torres hasn't been decent since RDM has taken over. Can he take it back up to that next stage, match winning level on a consistent basis though? We'll see next season. 50/50 for me.

[blue_swaggin_96 96]

RDM what would you do for a klonadike bar?

Torress!! illl score when it doesnt matter~

His torn hammy got the better of him.
