🇪🇸 Fernando Torres

Recommended Posts

Thank the lord, Spain has declined the invitation to play in the Copa America this summer. Torres wouldn't have gotten much playing time anyway but still he would have trained with the team, spent over 3 weeks in S. America and missed the pre-season with Chelsea. First summer off since 2007!

I was going to type something witting or enlightening about Torres but I just can't be bothered. Its like watching a slow moving car wreck right now.

I have no idea what the future holds for Chelsea, Carlo, Torres, Drogba, et al. All I know is the man with the scruffy beard forked over 50 million pounds for Torres and even though he's rich as hell you don't fork over that amount of money and just give up on it.

The rest of the season - let Torres come on as a super sub with Yossi. Let Drogba start and continue to be the top dog. Then reassess after the season.

Anyone tired of this "next Sheva" label they're putting on Torres.

Firstly, Sheva wasn't bad, just not as incredible as his price might have suggested.

Secondly, how can you judge him now, if Torres is top goal scorer next season, nobody will say "Oh, what a player", no they'll just ignore it.

I'm behind him all the way!

Fernando Torres is way too good to be a flop, and he can't be called as one. The media and football fans love calling players flops if they don't perform as good as people would have expected them to. But next season he will regain his confidence and all what is needed to become the league's top scorer. The thing that worries me is that he has no confidence in himself atm, which is why the defenders aren't as scared of him as they used to be. He just needs that first bloody goal, then the pressure will ease, and he will start scoring for fun.

50 million for a young talented striker for the UP-COMING seasons ahead, and for the drive for success. He has the drive, hence why he came here, and he will be like a new player next season and will show doubters or the parasites what he can really do in a blue shirt! All hail the Torres!

Bottom line he needs the summer off to get away from the English media and football. The team is currently built to Drogba's strengths which is not the same as Torres' strengths. Are the changes made or not? That's the 50M question.

Ah you big thief, your avatar is brilliant :champions:

Thank YOU!

I love Torres and it makes me laugh. Too bad it's not a .gif with the pigtails swinging as he moves. That's the only thing missing.

He should have something in his hand too. A daisy, a wand or a purse.

Any talented photoshop people here?

Or a basket with flowers in it. I still have the Atletico avatar on my screen so I'm not seeing the new avatar. Will have to check on another computer.

If I was Fernando in this situation, I'd be sleeping over at the training ground, and be starting training earlier and ending training after everyone has left. Break off almost all communications, and spend every hour of every day in cobham.

Because he needs the extra training? Or to keep the world away?

This is the worst patch of Torres' career, there's no denying it. And right now it doesn't look like he can unlock it. But let's keep things in perspective, it's not the end of the world yet.

Rooney went 9 months, not 9 weeks, nine MONTHS without scoring from open play for either club or country. Trust me I was wondering why Ferguson and Capello stuck with him. Look at the situation now, Man U are still in it for 3 major trophies and Rooney is hitting top form. Luckily for Rooney, he takes penalties and he didn't have to endure the goal drought game count that Torres is going through. Not fair is it?

David Villa, Spain's greatest national team scorer, starting forward for the best team in the world and backed by midfielders/teammates who also support him on the Spanish team, has gone 9 games without a goal. He also doesn't get dropped and subbed the way Torres does either. People have noticed his drought but has he even received 1/10 of the criticism and scrutiny that Torres has gotten?

I'm not saying Torres' bad patch isn't worrying and frustrating but shit happens for strikers. The big difference between the three strikers is that the first two did and are backed emphatically by their managers and were/are being handled well. Ancelotti says nice things about Torres but then comes out questioning if it was a mistake to start Torres. Come on, even if it's true, you don't say that as a manager. It looks like Ancelotti likes Torres personally but his man management of Nando has been pretty poor.
