Badboy 1,526 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes Chelsea may have made a mistake by signing Fernando Torres.The Spaniard arrived from Liverpool for a British record £50million on transfer deadline day to bolster the Blues' forward line and aid their assault for trophies this term.But former Chelsea striker Hasselbaink - who netted 70 goals in 136 league games for the Londoners - believes Carlo Ancelotti's side may have paid over the odds for the 26-year-old.And he also reckons the Blues should have spent the money on a creative influence, rather than adding to their selection of frontmen."He's a good player but he's not been playing consistently for the last two years," Hasselbaink told Sky Sports News HD. "So in a way I'm a little bit surprised that he cost £50million - which is a lot of money."And the problem Chelsea have had this year is creating goal-scoring opportunities. Torres is a finisher, not a creator. I don't think he is the solution."ProblemTorres' arrival has cast uncertainty over the places of Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelkaand Hasselbaink doesn't envisage all three playing in unison, while he is in no doubt as to who will be the main man of that attacking trio."Where does it leave Drogba and Anelka?" said the ex-Netherlands man. "You can't put Drogba on the wing and Anelka prefers to play in the middle as well, so there is a little problem with Torres coming in."I don't see them (all three) playing together, so it's going to be all one or the other. Torres comes with a big premium, so I think he will get the nod."Chelsea's new No.9 could make his Blues debut on Sunday in a potentially mouth-watering clash with the club he has just left, Liverpool.And Hasselbaink says there is a sure-fire way that Torres can immediately endear himself to the Chelsea faithful."It will be a difficult match for him," added the former Stamford Bridge star. "He has been bought for £50m in a big move, but he can silence a lot of people by scoring the winner."SKYSPORTS Edited February 4, 2011 by Badboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaChick 430 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'd love to see Torres score on sunday...don't jinx it people! I still don't think he should be started though, I want it to be the same team that went out against sunderland and then maybe bring on Torres if we need to!

Styles 9,790 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If Torres is given the chances Kalou gets in a game, he'll score 40 for us before the end of the season If he was playing against Sunderland he would have scored a hattrick that's for sure.

Peace. 4,352 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes Chelsea may have made a mistake by signing Fernando Torres. Jimmy for Coach :champions:Honestly, he made some good points here, and that's exactly why I was against this transfert. But now I hope Anelka's new position will bring us this creativity which we have lacked.And to be frank I doubt Torres will justify his £50 million price tag. It's a big amount and I think barring Messi and CR7, nobody worth £50m at the moment. But if he can justify just some £25 million, I will be happy.

J.F. 1,484 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Torres already top scorer at the tillsChelsea's record £50million signing Fernando Torres is already king of the shirt sales – outselling his Liverpool replacement Andy Carroll by 250 jerseys to one.Demand for Chelsea's new Torres home shirts are currently 40% higher than when he arrived at Anfield three years ago, according to suppliers.Shirt sales for the Kop's other new striker, Luis Suarez, are 380% more popular than Carroll replicas, but are still trailing behind Chelsea's Spanish signing by 30 to one.Ray Evans, managing director of Kitbag.com, said: "It will be interesting to see whether Torres can maintain his popularity among Chelsea fans and whether Carroll can break into the hearts of the Liverpool fans."

With the shirts sale and the attraction of new fan, we will repay the £50m. But there I was just thinking about the sportive level, not about the financial.
