Tomo 21,751 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I would love it if Torres proved me wrong but there has been nothing in his whole Chelsea career that suggest's he can.Even his so called greatest moment for us in Barca came after he lost the ball in a dangerous area and if it weren't for Bosingwa's (of all players) interception would have lost us the tie, then Cole hit it up and he went from near villain to hero.

Stats 7,142 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I would 100% like Torress to succeed at Chelsea but I have high doubts and will continue to. We saw Drogba come up big for us when needed last season but Torres just doesnt turn up in these sort of games. He hasnt proven himself at us and how many chances are we going to give him. Hopefully we do buy another quality striker do provide competition and keep Torres on top of his game. Against Arsenal home and away last season he was just invisible in attack as was he against Liverpool as well. People may want to back him now but come next season if he does not hit off, many people here may have to change their words. That is why I am fully supportive of the move for Hulk as he can step in up front if Torres is not on form.He was very sharp in games against QPR and Genk but he did not deliver on a consistent basis. He scored 2 well taken goals against Ireland but their level of calibre is quite low and next season we don't have Drogba to turn to if Torres is misfiring. I am excited of what the new season brings ahead for us but we need another striker for sure IMO like the situation at Real Madrid who have 2 quality strikers. As Justin said he will not be the same player at Liverpool, he will get goals but do I have trust in him for a whole season? No, he has had many chances and not turned up. He was very outspoken of the signing of Mata claiming that he would help him score goals but after that Swansea game it just dried up. What will be the difference next season? That is why with the absence of Drogba we should look to buy another striker as Sturridge is not a proven striker for us and other teams, no matter how much he wants to play thereHopefully he does kick on next season though and score much more goals because it is about time you served us with a 20+ goalscoring season Justin_3d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Torres starting on the bench, Spain with no striker. Embarrassing.I wish Roman was more ruthless and sack players as he does with managers!If he done that we would have never had to support the Kalou and Malouda for so long.Look at Barcelona, they screw up royally with Ibra, but they got rid of him fast.And here we are going to make him our main striker.....

Nedy08 27 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 How classy was that when he could have had another but instead chose to pass it to Mata.. I have a good feeling about Torres for next season. Hopefully he doesn't disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's probably too early to say this, but Torres seems to have gotten his striker instinct back. His movement is sharper, and he no longer hesitates in one-on-one situations and seems to know exactly where to put the ball. Hopefully, he can continue his form.

Leif 6,006 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Torres won't be 'back' until we stop jizzing over the fact he got an assist - but instead that Mata scored.Why isn't his thread all lively?
