The Skipper 20,609 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 in 2008 he was only beaten to the Ballorn Dor because Ronaldo won the champ league, Don't have to make up stuff, no one was beating Ronaldo that year. Even if he didn't win the CL he was still the best in the world.Torres finished 3rd in the Ballon d'Or behind Messi and Ronaldo that year, so it wasn't as close as you're making it to be, and Messi was not as good, similarly with Ronaldo, as he is right now.He was definitely the best striker in the world back then but Torres at his peak was not as special as Messi or Ronaldo are right now. Those two are being talked of as being the best players ever, peak Fernando Torres is not up for that discussion sorry. yuvala 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,715 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Its really a shame about the niggling injuries, that seem to be defusing any sort of momentum he built up from early in the season..We will really require his services for the upcoming matches...Mourinho himself has said after the Spurs match that he prefers Torres over Eto'o for away games..

didierforever 7,349 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Great. Now he is officially "injury prone". Which club in their right mind would buy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Great. Now he is officially "injury prone". Which club in their right mind would buy him.Im hoping City, Arsenal, Tottenham or United.That way we'll always have an extra defender when facing those teams. didierforever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickpassnmove 924 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 the next miracle at CFC needs to be getting rid of Torres before his contract expires in about 22 months. duo11bluecl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantdeville 195 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 No club, in their right mind, would pay for a Torres transfer. It doesn't make any sense from a business point of view. He is not worth any value in transfer funds when he can be taken for free after the expiry of his contract. He will not add anything to a team that has enough money to complete the transfer, he's just not good enough. That aside, he will not leave because he is contracted to earn a staggering salary if he rides out his contract. He lives a very good life right now and has no incentive to leave. Seems like the only thing we can do, as a club, is damage control and squeeze out what we can from him. I guess they could freeze him out, a la Anelka or Malouda. He does have decent moments I suppose. But his presence also means Lukaku can't get in. What is there to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodIsBlue 291 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Nah guys. Lukaku is going to take all of Torres' games worst case scenario. Mourinho is just building the foundations of the team, and the best thing for Lukaku was to play in the premier league. Mou didn't want to take the risk and sent him somewhere he could get games. Mourinho wanted Lukaku as a backup but it was Lukaku who pushed for a transfer, Mou saw that at least for Lukaku's sake it was very positive.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Out for a month? Blimey. The one positive to take from this is Eto'o's link-up play with Eden, which is spectacular. Maybe it's for the betterment of the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
