🇪🇸 Fernando Torres

[English Freak 456]

Can't wait to see Torres leave Chelsea.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

I wasn't just talking about his game time. His injuries/treatment were all handled badly, especially around the time of the World Cup.

alright, but its not what yossi meant.. he talked about Chelsea.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Can't wait to see Torres leave Chelsea.

That's the mere thing. In order for this club to move forward and to take that monkey off our shoulder, Benitez and Torres need to leave as well as our board.

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

I wasn't just talking about his game time. His injuries/treatment were all handled badly, especially around the time of the World Cup.

There's some sort of sick irony to this. Benitez helped ruin Torres by overplaying him even when he was hurt (Liverpool never bought a decent second striker which is their fault and Torres rushed back from surgery for the World Cup which was his fault) and now he's counting on the player he helped ruin rescue his own career. It's almost like a Greek tragedy.

Starring:

Fernando Torres as the former hero, blind to his own flaws and still thinks he is the warrior of days long since passed.

Rafa Benitez as the mad king

Chelsea Football Club as the beautiful maiden raped by the hero and murdered by the king

Roman Abromavich as Zeus who plays with the mortals as is his will

[zolayes 14,489]

He has been laughably bad since the minute he arrived, there's nothing new here.

I think it was actually about 10 minutes in his first game for us when he missed the sitter against scumpool ,,,of course he could have passed to drog for a tap in ,,,,start of the rot

Really looks like he did it on purpose...or more likely he didn't give a shit...deserves to trade places with Malouda

[Backstreet09 499]

Shit just got real, you know the situation is bad when even Backstreet09 is complaining.

(or he was being sarcastic, hard to say what goes on in that mind of his)

I'm not complaining , it's just I've been saying this from the beginning we don't suit him and it's time now to accept it . People who were saying his game was merely based on his pace has clearly not seen the tons of goals he scored in his atleti and liverpool caree , which were almost impossible to score . I firmly believes and I can bet , if he goes to Fio or back to Atleti , he'll be back to his best , because sometimes it's better to fall apart and start over for things to change .

[Dion 2,476]

It's been an amazing thing to watch this player disintegrate, but it's revealed a few things. He was essentially all pace and nothing much else.

His positional sense is absolutely appalling. How many times have players put the ball across the six yard box only for Torres to be on the penalty spot (at best)? And yet he'll still try and do things that assume he still has that amazing pace, like knock a ball past a player and run onto it despite it only working about three times in two years.

It's the most remarkable thing to have witnessed firsthand - to see a person completely unable to do what they used to, unwilling to adapt and simply fall apart. If you look at someone like Shearer who was robbed of that explosive acceleration by injuries, he was able to change the way he played and still be one of the top strikers around whereas Torres has been shown up to be a one-dimensional, weak-minded coward.

Knee injuries are some of the most serious injuries a player can have. They're very likely to be career-ending. Most players never get to top form again and some become absolute shit, like our fellow Torres here. Michael Owen, Joe Cole even our brazilian legend Ronaldo never got back to their top form. Ronaldo could still manage to become an awesome striker by changing his style which previously relied on pace heavily. But even him was never as good as before. His goal/game ratio dropped from about 1:1 to 1:2. He had become about half the player he was, and he only managed that because he had clinical finishing, very good positioning and was a marvelous dribbler. Torres is none of those.

Man that swerved alot , he should take our free kicks xD

[Santiago. 1,500]

That's not even fucking funny, rather disgusting and the fact he is a world cup winner

[gary gordon 1,777]

Can't believe any idiots here defend Torres. If anybody here doesn't think he was given plenty of chances is fucking stupid. I watched every painstaking game, every fucked-up minute, every single time he skyed the ball into the parking lot, or toe punted it from 4 yards out to the right or left of the goal. Rounding the De Gea at OT was the beginning of the end for El'Nino, we are just trying to get every bit of worth out of him that we can.

It's like when your at the brothel and as soon as you blow your load, you know you've wasted your money, so you ask for a massage for the rest of the 45 mins to try and get your moneys worth. I feel that's what the club is doing with Torres. Just trying to get that extra massage.

Great Imagination! :tophat:

[Jase 43,479]

To be fair, what's he or anyone else going to say? "Torres is shit"? This is what you'll hear from every Chelsea source...empty platitudes about how things have been rough for the poor bastard and he's not doing badly and he's turning things around, etc...I'm just so sick of Torres and the circus that surrounds him.

This.

Everything Yossi said was okay except this: "in my opinion the situation with him was managed badly from the beginning", and "he did not get the confidence when he came in".

This is so stupid to say those things because its not true, but especially when you're playing for Chelsea (maybe Yossi forgot it... or he doesnt care because he'll leave in a few months). I mean i know Yossi is a very good friend for Torres, but he shouldnt have said it. Thats too much "kiss assing".

Furthermore, based on what Benayoun said there, it indicated that Torres is just weak person mentally if he can't even handle a bit of competition with someone like Drogba around. No wonder Benitez had the likes El Zhar, N'Gog etc at Liverpool back then! Torres is just a pathetic moaner and sulker expecting others to cater to his best interest. We have brought in the likes of Oscar, Hazard etc in the summer yet he still can't find his old form or even 50% of it! It's everyone else's fault and not his, every single time. Seems to be a common trait at Scumpool. Anything that goes wrong, blame others but ownself. PISS OFF!!

[Santiago. 1,500]

Bar none, if he wasn't good looking, he wouldn't be the center image of Spanish and World football. Fact

WTF did I just read?

I hope this is only a metaphor and not a memory!

Yes.....a metaphor

[Peace. 4,352]

Benayoun went on to suggest Torres is still "one of the best strikers in the world"

That is precisely wherein lies the problem. Yes, because in all honestly, the problem isn't his knees, the system, the players surrounding him, etc... The real problem is that he has been taken for someone he wasn't. To believe that this bag of shit was World-Class / one of the best striker at some point is as deluded as believing that Bin Laden was the big bad bearded guy behind the "Axis of Evil" (© Bush).

That guy-wannabe-girl (or the other way round, I truly don't know) was massively overrated. He has been a two seasons wonder and that's about that. And even then, he wasn't at his true level ; he was overachieving. All the Loserpool team was built to take 200% out of him. He was nothing special ; he was only finishing all the hard work done by Gerard, Alonso and Mascherano. Plus you gotta keep in mind that he was playing for the media darling... How not be overrated in this kind of situation ?

And as Semia pointed out, a big part of the hype surrounding him are due to his looking. With his blond hair and his juvenile face, it's easy to sympathise for him.

This ladyboy is just the epitome of how media can overhype someone.

Sure, but look at him now. Does he even run? If he does. Does he even outrun a one legged boy? Not sure. Just look at him, standing there watching the world burn. We should play either Ba or Moses upfront.

[manpe 10,861]

Don't call me racist, but maybe white strikers just aren't our thing? I mean down the recent years our best goalscorers have been black guys: Drogba, Anelka, Hasselbaink. The only exception being Gudjohnsen. However, look at our caucasian flops: Kezman, Mutu, Shevchenko, Pizarro, Torres. You could add Crespo to that list, even though he wasn't a bad player nor a flop, he never broke through despite that.

Judging by this scientific evidence I say bring in fast black strikers and ditch the white pansies .

Actually scratch that, we need more black players in general. Our best times were when we had a prominent dark presence, it's fading away now. We need to incorporate Mikel, Ba and Moses back in the team ASAP before we get overrun by white trash. Wingers need to stay white though.

So fuck all the Falcaos and Cavanis and Lewandowskis. We should have kept Sturridge, our attacking trio of Ba, Danny and Lukaku would have become deadly in the following seasons.

Maybe Tommy had a point all along.
