DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Um, Barca loan out Ibrahimovic to Milan after splashing £50m+Eto'o from Inter Milan 1 year before?How about Madrid let Kaka for free to Milan after bought him £56m from Milan Ibra was 36£m (+Eto'o) wasn't he?And Kaka back to Milan wasn't a loan was it?Not sure if the tweets even 100% accurate, just found it funny to read!

rantdeville 195 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 My apologies. Tho. it is a really biased thing to say lel.Lol I knew you weren't serious I was just being a dumb troll hahaha in all honestly, had he not demonstrated that level and quality before he got here, we would have never held him to those standards. Onward and upward tho. This is def an occasion that galvanizes the fans. I think we're all on the same page here. LondonsFinest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ25 45 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ibra was 36£m (+Eto'o) wasn't he?And Kaka back to Milan wasn't a loan was it?Not sure if the tweets even 100% accurate, just found it funny to read!Woops, but the total of money plus Eto'o's value at that time (maybe around £15-30m) looks like beyond or at least equal £50m?Surely let a £56m player for free to his old club worse than loan out £50m Torres, right?

Dion 2,476 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm talking about technique though you thick bastard. Confidence doesn't make technique suddenly better. For instance I'm a fairly confident guy but can't do an elastico with my left foot and more confidence isn't going to fix that. That's what I'm trying to convey. Confidence will improve composure and all that but I ain't talking about all that.HAHAHAHA. Is that how the moderators here behave? This forum has gone downhill.[/salty thin-skinned dude that complains about everything and was raised by his grandmother] Anyhow... I reckon confidence makes you more consistent and as a result it makes your technique look better. Of course confidence won't make you able to do things you couldn't before but it is probably going to make you more successful in everything you are capable of doing. So in a way it improves your technique somewhat. But we both seem to agree he won't suddenly take the world by storm and I think ultimately that's what matters.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 As I said yesterday, I'm guessing he'll be confirmed and presented as a Milan player before their match against Lazio. blu35_army, bababoom and ParNolio7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParNolio7 285 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Anyway, I don't get why we would agree on a loan deal for an old player like Torres. Isn't the whole idea of a loan deal that you try to improve a young prospect until he's either good enough to play for your own team or raised his value for a proper sale? So I think we should've sold him. No good reason to keep him connected with Chelsea. It's not like he's exactly the fan's favourite ...

It's not like he's exactly the fan's favourite ...Probably because we couldn't shift him permanently, and the choice was loan him or keep him. No contest.A 2 year loan now means he has effectively left the club anyway. bababoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So total cost wise, Milan could still have made a pretty good deal. Wouldn't be surprised if Torres becomes a valuable player again in Serie A.

Selling him would have been difficult because why would Torres agree to a move to take maybe £75,000 a week, when he could stay here for two years on more than double that? It was an impossible sale.

ParNolio7 285 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I don't see why me remark is so dumb. We are still paying his enormous wage now. We might as well breach his contract then and pay off the two years. Same principle.And I know we've been trying to sell him but maybe we've still been asking too much for him then. As I said, any price would've been good, even a symbolical pound. Just to get rid of that immense salary that's not leading to anything.

It probably was.I can see why Torres wouldn't want to see his salary cut in half, but if there's any pride left in him as a football player, he should've settled for about 30% less and try to get his career going again. To rot on the bench for two years is no way to end a career for a player like Torres.But for him the loan is obviously a brilliant deal, still gets paid the same money and can try to relaunch his career. For Chelsea though, I think it's a pretty bad deal. I think we shouldn't have accepted it. Better to keep him at the club in that case, until he grows tired of sitting on the bench and who knows maybe if a few players get injured he might even come in handy every now and then. At least there would still be a reason why we're paying him in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
