magicrico 175 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I am looking forward to the day he will no more be one of our player.I third this. I've been saying for months and will do, we are lacking a goalscorer, thank god didi found some form or we would be in all kinds of trouble, Torres looks worse now than when he joined. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri 115 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Didi played very good against Valencia, bud he is not the old Drog and will never be, dont fool yourself ( but he is a legend, and will always be one of the greatest in this club).Torres sitting on the bench is not gonna help him, only making him worse, if possible. Nobody shall tell me Boas belives in Torres, even if he says so. nofreakingway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Agreed. Torres is a liability.I third this. I've been saying for months and will do, we are lacking a goalscorer, thank god didi found some form or we would be in all kinds of trouble, Torres looks worse now than when he joined.Yep.The thing is that he is a bad thing on three aspects :- On a sportif aspect : He doesn't provide goals - which is supossed to be a striker's job - and neither assist or threat on goal.- On a financial aspect : He costs us £180k a week for doing nothing, so this is a big dead weight in our wage structure.- On a media aspect : because of him, media over-analyse each and every one of our games, and he brings hatred and mockery from other teams' fan.Ps : oh, and this way the striker playing instead of him won't anymore get stick from the ladyboy's fanclub.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Torres sitting on the bench doesnt help confidence.Torres starting/coming off the bench having a shite game and not scoring also doesnt help confidence!!He's had his wonder moments it seems and sadly we were years to late..Liverpool had him when he was playing well...we got him when he wasnt playing so well and hasnt done well then.He has started to look like the old Torres for a game then next week go back to old one..this whole move has just been diaster really for us and himAnd its a shame because it has been all eyes on him that probably didnt help...every move over anyalsed and the fact Liverpool got Carrol for a daft price is also shite is inored but And if he does move no doubt he'll become amazing again lol but just not there at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Im probally going to get pasted for this but we should seriously consider seling him in January if we get a substantial offer, in the region of £20-30m. He is still a world class forward and some side would probally take a punt on him.Sadly i think Torres and Chelsea is like Duff and Newcastle, they just don't fit, like Damien Duff for example was amazing for Chelsea and Blackburn, shocking for Newcastle then he signed for Fulham and we started to see the old Duff again.If we can't get a substantial offer then we really have to consider loaning him to a Spanish side for 6 months, prey for the love of god he can pick up form then we get a decent fee for him in the summer.We could look at this another way, Torres persuaded Mata to join Chelsea so if Torres does leave for next to nothing we could just pretend we spent £73m on Mata Badboy and Kieran. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Didi played very good against Valencia, bud he is not the old Drog and will never be, dont fool yourself ( but he is a legend, and will always be one of the greatest in this club).Torres sitting on the bench is not gonna help him, only making him worse, if possible. Nobody shall tell me Boas belives in Torres, even if he says so.I don't think anyone is saying that it is the Drogba of old, we aren't stupid, we know time takes its toll on players buteven a 33 year old past his prime Drogba is still a much better option than the Chelsea version of Fernando Torres. Torres sitting on the bench isn't going to help anyone? I'd beg to differ, I'd say there are 11 Chelsea players on the pitch who benefit from him not being there.

Kezza 1,965 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 What you reckon about a straight swap for another player? Im sure Torres will fit right in at AC Milan or Napoli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,443 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 This may sound funny, but I can't help but feel that Torres has only helped Didier after his arrival..when he arrived, he inspired Drogba to up his game... and this season he was involved in persuading Mata to join us and even that is working in Didier's favour. In Jan last season I was hoping we would sign a supporting forward player to aid Drogba and our team, but instead we went and got Torres for different reasons. Ironically enough, he has ended up performing in a very good supporting role! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I agree Tomo, he's shit and i would rather think we spent 73 million on Mata it makes me feel so much better . The fact that Andy Carroll is shit makes me feel a bit better too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Wanna see what happens when DD goes to the African cup of nations. This period will make or break Torres' Chelsea career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 we have a run of fairly easy fixtures then ,,, Torres MUST step up or I doubt if he ever will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise we'll be left with 2 strikers, Drogba & Torres. With the ACoN we'll have 1, perhaps 2 if you count Sturridge. That's not enough.

So it will depend on if its a big name to stop Torres playing or a youngster.I can see Torres going 100% in the summer. it will most likely be some shitty loan deal like Crespo a few years back , so more money lost ... sigh Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
