🇪🇸 Fernando Torres

Anyone tried throwing some salt on him ? That might do the trick.

[Alee. 182]

Atletico fans chanted his name during the unveiling of Mandzukic Talk about being ungrateful! But I really think this is the only chance we have of getting anything for Torres, sell him off to Atleti as soon as possible!

Was just lookong at the first few pages of this thread. Oh how happy we all were the few days after he signed.... if only we knew then what we know now.

I never wanted him and could not believe when Chelsea signed him for 50 mil. how were his legs (knees?) ignored months leading up to that deal? hard to comprehend.

Albatross is a good way to characterize that HUGE mistake. but maybe if Chelsea and Roman will have learned very well from that mistake and Roman remains owner for years to come, Chelsea will, overall benefit from what was learned from this idiotic acquisition in January 2011.

50m has just been repayed. Ahem Ahem

By scoring a goal against a team that weren't defending at all? We were going to win anyway... Sorry if you were kidding but I have ridden this too many times.

Of course, I was joking.

Torres is with us for 2 more years ,,,, ONLY then will the Mummy's Curse be lifted ... Of course even his ghost could haunt us .

Actually, if Torres stays as the 2nd striker I won't be unhappy. He is a very emotional guy, started last season very well but since the departure of Mata he started to decline. Now with Cesc, Luis (Atletico background and speaks Spanish), Costa and Azpi at the club he will be happy again. Also, it seemed he couldn't handle the pressure of his pricetag and being the 1st choice striker. Now Costa is the absolute #1, I guess Torres can have a great season as a back up scoring 10 goals. For Lukaku we can easily get £20-£25M, but for Torres we can never get more than £10M.

He gets paid over a £100k a week, unless Mata was sucking him off I dont see the point you are making.

I turned on the game now and a few moments later I see Torres missing a sitter in front of an empty goal. Some things never change

[Special Juan 28,141]

Yep, he's shit.

[didierforever 7,349]

he is consistent though. u cant take that away from him.

also "he does not get any service". yup seems fair!!!

[edetarod 2,155]

can we get him to play in defence, it was a sensational effort to get that over the goal

[Blue Armour 4,439]

In the second half he does that incredible one touch reverse pass to send Costa through, and then later on he struggles to get his head onto Ake's great cross in front of a goal...quite an enigmatic player (although I think a lot of fans have already made up their mind on what kind of player he is)

Nothing "enigmatic" about him. He's horseshit. Pure, unadulterated cow dung.

[Ollie 4,400]

Tbh he didn't do a lot wrong (apart from miss it). It was fizzed at him and he just tried to chest it in which is what most would do. I've been in that situation before and it really is not easy to control coming at that pace. You just need to get something on it and hope. To get it over from there is just so unlucky, he did a few decent things when he came on. Still... he won't play much next season anyway.

He did a LOT wrong. Gave it away anytime he touched it while pretending to be a good dribbler. It was his first game in pre-season, yes, but it's still the same rubbish we see from him.

[Ollie 4,400]

We all know he's shit. We know what we're gonna get from him and that's a useless performance but the flick pass down the line was good, the shot for the 2nd goal was decent and the miss was just unlucky imo. I've seen loads of players miss them.

This.

Torres was, as he always is these day, a one man attack killer. He loses the ball any time he tries to dribble someone or hold it up in the box.
