Tomo 21,751 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Those stats are irrelevant if you count the number of cup final goals he's produced.Yeah in cup finals he was the man and it will be tough to replace, but we never really missed his presence in the so called "lesser games" as it was made out. Liverpool's style was so reliant on Fernando that he was a huge miss against any opposition and they are still paying for it now if you look at the amount of stalemates they produce at Anfield to teams they should be beating with ease.

The same could be said here at Chelsea with Hazard looking to be his new favorite team mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Don't know if you've actually watched our games or not but Torres has shown he still has the majority, if not all his pace from his Livershit days. As many pundits have said it is/was his lack of confidence that caused him to hesitate and not run at defenders but now he is doing it and looks dangerous.IMO he's still not nearly as fast as he was at Liverpool. He looks better now because he was awful in his first season here. Last season he showed decent pace and now he's better. He was a beast at Liverpool. I agree that the confidence thing has a lot to do with it but he's still lost pace due to benitez fucking with his injuries."Don't know if you've actually watched our games or not"And nice sarcasm.

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 How did i say we would be fucked if he scores ? i said if we do the Liverpool approach and play everything thorough him we will be solely reliant on him staying fit and scoring, if he loses fitness or form then we will be screwed.Look at what happened with Liverpool? far too reliant on Torres to score goals during his time there. It cost them the title in 2009 when he kept getting injured and since he lost form (2010) they still haven't recovered, there play still needs Torres, as showed last season when they couldn't even score in a brothel.I don't want us to become reliant on him like that.Mate I appreciate your concerns but please don't compare us and Loserpool ever again. They are a bunch of cunts and shit footballers. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't think his performances are any better than they were last season, but as long as he is putting the ball in the back of the net, I have no concerns. I said at the start of the season that if he doesn't score at least 20 goals this season he should be shipped out - at this rate, it may be closer to 30 come May. That can only be a good thing. A striker that plays shit but still puts the ball in the back of the net is as good as the Drogba type that battles and scraps without getting his name on the scoresheet.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 So one great goal, and he has repaid his 50 million pounds?Nice thinking!As I said before, I expect him to have a good season, but to justify his price tag he needs to produce 2 or 3 good seasons for all the bad image he gave in the past season and a half.Before that, whatever excuse you make as my good friend disko up there won't matter.If he score over 40 goals this season and helps us win the title. He has justified the price tag. end off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,938 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Must admit I am surprised people are still banging on about his price tag. Why would it bother any fan or anyone else other than Roman himself. If Roman decides to throw 50 million in what may be deemed as a 'panic' buy then so what. Our emperor is clearly unfazed about splashing the cash on our imperious club, weather it be 50 million on Fernando or 30 million on Shevchenko.It should not be in anyway used to his detriment as there is no correlation to quality and the price tag attached to players in this current footballing climate.

Blu4Lyf 46 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Fernando Torres insists he is feeling 'stronger than ever' after a turbulent start to his Chelsea career.The Spanish ace believes he is a "better player and better person" since his record £50million switch in January 2011.The striker is relishing playing for the Blues and looks certain to lead the line against former club Atletico Madrid on Friday in the UEFA Super Cup.Speaking in Monaco on Thursday ahead of the tie, he said: "I would change nothing that happened to me last season. Live on Sky Sportsvs Chelsea v A MadridAugust 31, 2012 7:00pmRemote Record"That taught me a lot of things. I learned a lot about a lot of people, in both ways. I learned a lot of things last season - good, bad. It made me a better player, a better person, and I'm stronger than ever now."He added: "In these 18 months, I've become a better player. I have played in a different way to that I played at Liverpool."I can play more outside the box, associating more with my team-mates. I gave a lot of assists last season. I can mix it more."Torres admitted that last term he felt like a teenager having to prove himself all over again. Never been"In these 18 months, I've become a better player. I have played in a different way to that I played at Liverpool."Fernando Torres Quotes of the week"I'd never been on the bench like eight games in a row," he said."I started to understand everyone in the team. When you're playing, you don't think about these things."But when you're there, you understand what people go through on the bench. It was a new experience. I learned a lot of things about that, which made me a better team-mate."I always tried to be a good team-mate, as I was as captain in Madrid. But I lost that at Liverpool, when I was never captain."[At Chelsea] I went back to when I was 17 or 18, having to fight every day for my place."I never want to go back to that situation again."Torres was the most expensive player ever transferred between British clubs and is likely to remain so for some time."The money Chelsea paid for me was never something I was worried about," he said. Difficult change"It didn't make me play badly. It was just a difficult change from Liverpool to Chelsea. The adaptation took more time than it should."But all these things are in the past. Let's think about the present. The future can be brilliant, even better."He added: "You know you're going to play, or think you are, and that gives you more time to play your football."That's the main difference between this and the previous one-and-a-half seasons at Chelsea."I'm playing more minutes and the confidence is back."Torres has doubtless been helped by Chelsea's summer signings and he was looking forward to a bright future."Let's enjoy now. The team is playing really well, the new players are settled and doing well, and we're in a good run now," he said."Let's go about winning the first trophy of the season for Chelsea tomorrow. If we do that, there'll be more to come for Chelsea." DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
