Danelka 209 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 We've been laughed at constantly ever since we signed Torres.That doesn't change with us being European Champions.If anything, it makes people laugh more so that they can try and belittle our accomplishment.I still don't think we are the subject of the laughing, rather it's Torres himself.I'm sure you saw all the shitloads of posts on 9gag (if not, I tell you know), it was all Torres centered, and not about the club being lame to pay for him xy amount of money.I don't say that we weren't even mocked about it, but that happens to every club, if they make a fail transfer.

Popular Post! Henrique 9,133 Posted June 28, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted June 28, 2012 Del Bosque ha no confidence on Torres. Spain played 120 minutes and Torres was on the bench all the time, and the guy is still our main striker for next season. Thats not good.Its funny, because Torres scores one goal in 20 matches, and when he scores people would say "Torres silenced the haters".

The decision to use Negredo for the first time in a semi final was farcicle. Everyone could see Torres should have played and he could have scored if he did, due to the space in behind the back four. We should have more belief in Torres. silviupastean and Naked Mole Rat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedy08 27 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You guys need to fucking realize that Torres IS going to be our main striker whether you like it or not and I can guarantee you that talking shit about him is not going to lead us anywhere.

Blue Armour 4,442 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Mata must be shit as well then.In all fairness, the current Spanish squad has more quality midfielders than quality strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 In all fairness, the current Spanish squad has more quality midfielders than quality strikers.That's my point, so using a yardstick to beat Torres down just because he didn't play against Portugal is equally naïve IMO.

We should have more belief in Torres.it must be hard to be a cf under del bosque, because negredo reveals after the match that he was only on the pitch to make the defense tired ... not very glorious, if you ask me http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3284/euro-2012/2012/06/28/3206006/negredo-portugal-clash-was-very-ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 To weigh in on the Del Bosque-Torres saga..I truly believe Torres was only taken to make up the numbers in Villa's absence and his use of him sparingly proved that. I was actually more disappointed that he didn't call on Llorente to replace Negredo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually more disappointed that he didn't call on Llorente to replace Negredo.That makes no sense. Torres has at least played, whereas Llorente hasn't seen a single minute of gametime. So, wouldn't it mean Llorente was taken to make up the numbers? FormerRussianSpy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, wouldn't it mean Llorente was taken to make up the numbers?Fair argument, but that match was perfect for Llorente to showcase his strengths, he would've offered a lot more movement and finishing ability than Negredo. Torres has lost the faith Del Bosque once had in him, where as Llorente hasn't found it at all. I'd be very surprised if Torres were to start v. Italy, which he should tbh.

Who's talking shit? I like Torres a lot as a person and a player but he just hasn't produced and some of the fans are worried because Drogba isn't here to save our asses anymore. Capish!

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3JUdryT9zIWas just looking at that, his goals in Liverpool and I just remember the hate-love I had towards him. I hated him because he always scored against Chelsea but loved him due to the absolute magnificant CF he was.Do u guys think he'll ever get at least that confidence back? I do see glimses of his movement sometimes and I do believe he has it in him, he just has to believe in himself. It would be an absolute delight to see him back in his old self like in that clip.

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well take a look at Essien.He was good till he got injured.Likewise Kaka.If he was younger he might have a chance, but giving that he is 28 and is downhill like these two mention I don't think we will ever see that old Torres.So nope, he is just a poor version of Sheva.Biggest flop in the entire history!!!

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 BTW Real Madrid payed 80mill for Ronalda because of what he could do for the team.So far Ronaldo has done greater things at Madrid then what he did at United.Will Torres give you a better return then what he did at Liverpool?Nope, which is why the worst transfer Chelsea has ever made for the price paid!
