Maybe if you are into accounting but how much a player costs doesn't win you matches, otherwise Real would have won the CL ten times in a row.

It's not so much about being into accounting (apologies to the accountants out there), but more about being into the 'real world'.

Fuck off giving Robbie shit. The club had a financial prerogative to give a £100 million investment every chance to find form. Yes it was unfortunate that Sturridge didn't get every opportunity but what's done is done. We're now in a fantastic position as a football club in so many respects yet some people will always focus on the negative, whatever it is.

Clubs sell players. Sometimes those players go on a downwards trajectory, sometimes they improve. I simply don't understand the mentality of 'supporters' who constantly pick the same scab whenever they get the chance. I don't see the fun in that, or the joy they garner from that. It's really not an edifying aspect of this forum, but then again what is?

Oh we also had the perogative when Di Matteo even started Hazard as a false 9 instead of giving Sturridge the chance? Also he didnt even used him as a sub and constantly played him as a RW even though he played tremendous for Bolton as a striker. so we sold Sturridge for 12m and got Ba for 8 m. you call this great business? and last season we had 60 games. so do you think Torres had to start everyone and we couldnt have had Sturridge as a No 2 striker playing? dont act like we were forced to sell Sturridge. our club was bilnd and thought that he didnt have the potential to play up front. thats a clear error. we have sold Liverpool their best player atm for freaking peanuts. thats not only annoying but also embarassing on the one side. I dont know how our board couldn't see the potential this guy had, instead we kept on playing Torres and it felt like we were reduced down to 10 man every game. Robbie clearly didnt have enough balls to bench Torres and didnt see the potential Sturridge had. Thats his fault, dont try to act like he was a slave for Roman and couldnt bench Torres. in fact he did against Juventus but still started Hazard as a false 9.

Sturridge was unlucky in this aspect. this was his game to really mark himself a future Chelsea #9, but as you recall he picked up an injury in training. That really was all she wrote for Chelsea & DS.

It's a massive kick in the teeth when ypu go and buy a clubs striker for 50 million and you already have a better one who you then go and sell to the club you brought the 50 million pound flop from.

We will never live that one down!

Torres has hindered this club so much......... Can't put to words what a bad piece of business it was.

We took a 50 mil flop from them and gave them a wonderful talent........

(No, I am not denying the club hasn't done many other great pieces of business, we have many exiting prospects right now [Lukaku, KDB, Hazard who will get even better, Van Ginkel] but you can't deny this was a huge mistake and you have to accept your mistakes to learn from them!)

Whats worse is that Torres still wears a blue shirt. :(
