Jase 43,479 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I understood you said we look idiotic by only sticking with him. I said that we had no other option since Hazard and Oscar were our priorrity...If that was not what you meant, I`m sorry.My bad. You were spot on there, well almost. Though my main point is that I can't be bothered what others think of us when getting rid of Torres. And even if we may not have enough budget to buy his replacement, I'm sure we could have forked a small figure to buy another striker back in the summer. It doesn't necessarily have to be a big name. Makes no difference now anyway since we look like getting another striker with a big price tag. Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference now anyway since we look like getting another striker with a big price tag.I 100% agree.It just looks to me Roman had something like this: Summer - "We have already spent too much, I talked to Torres and with this world class players he will score many goals"; November - "WTF!!!, how did we not get Falcao in the summer? I am calling my bank manager right now to withdraw 50mi." LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 In all honesty, its disrespectful to compare our very own Salomon to this piece of crap...Kalou scored MANY MATCH WINNERS for us in his time here...And say whatever you want about Salomon's ability, but he played like he cared if we win or loose he just wasnt good enough most times, he is not our highest scoring substitute ever for nothing...I have said it before, nando doesnt give a shit if we win or loose and will always be a scouser in my eyes who cared more about scoring against us that he does scoring for us.....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, dont soil the legendary legacy of King Kalou , by comparing him with this sulking dumb blonde b****......Never ever forget thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGxmIEVWafUI apologize for the error. Forgot kalou at least had passion for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Did he really?! I have no recollection of that...Yeah, 2006 if I remember correctly. A couple of matches where we needed goals in the last 10 mins or so, he brought on a defender and stuck JT up front. Didn't work so he stopped trying it.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sad, but Andy Caroll would do better job than Torres... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 His lack of movement has been a problem since he joined and yet people back then were constantly finding excuses for him saying that our style of play doesn't suit him...To be honest for the first six month's the main excuses were actually valid, but all of them were gone that summer (of 2011) including the service one (you can't complain about service when Juan Mata is behind you).It would be funny , if liverpool buys Torres back and he starts scoring like a beast again and we gets Falcao and Falcao fails what would we do then splash another 50 M lol ?The latter is unlikely but former is impossible, Torres is finished, no magic move back to Liverpool will change that.

RamiCFC9 258 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Bye, bye Torres and welcome Falcao !p.s. Absolutely love how the club throws the shit away first Kalou, Malouda now Torres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Imagine if our star trio could provide the same service to Drogba.The legend would be scoring at least 1 goal a game for sure.In his prime definitely, don't know about the Drogba last season.

Jase 43,479 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 To be honest for the first six month's the main excuses were actually valid, but all of them were gone that summer (of 2011) including the service one (you can't complain about service when Juan Mata is behind you).It's not just about giving him the through balls but also the crosses from wide areas. You only have to read the article by WAGNH about his lack of movement inside the box against Liverpool which gave no chance whatsoever to Hazard, Bertrand etc to put the ball in from wide areas. Back then we were still putting crosses in and such but yet Torres finds silly excuses to take the easy way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I just got an incredibly sick gut feeling that Fernando won't be sold in the January transfer window or the next summer window. I fear Roman may have too much pride to let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear Roman may have too much pride to let him go. I actually don't care about him staying, i just don't want him to be first choice forward. His performances this season would be good enough for a Kalou lite role, just not first choice forward. If he wants that tag he should earn it and take on any competition we bring in. What better way to prove himself to the fans than to do to Falcao what Drogba did to Sheva?I find it embarrassing that we have had top forwards as good as whoring themself's to us yet we are stuck with a more expensive Kalou up front.

manpe 10,861 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hes so bad I'd rather us play John Terry as a false 9.Not false 9. A false 9, as I understand it, is like a second striker who goes deep and plays practically in the hole. JT would be a pure target man, we could hoof it and cross it to him and he would win headers for us up front. Not such a bad idea tbh As a striker I'd rather see Cahill, he can head and shoot. Or Luiz. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Well the club hierarchy have shown with the managers that they're quick to change things when they're not going to plan. We've tried it all with Torres and it hasn't worked, isn't working and doesn't look like it's ever going to work. Falcao and Chelsea have been flirting pretty openly in the past week and the writing's on the wall as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we ended up being stuck with this guy. I wouldn't keep my hopes up if I were you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
