DH1988 1,348 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have a feeling this was it for Torres unfortunately, Studge will get his chance on Wednesday and if he plays well I think he starts against Swansea, if not I feel that HE is def going to go in the summer or jan winter break.

Zola kinda blue 89 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Torres has cast a shadow over our team ever since he arrived. It was a big mistake by Carlo to start him against Liverpool and disrupt a winning side and formation that we only just found again.Its like a bad marriage now, where they are only staying together for the kids.RDM, to his credit, did try to find another striker who could make a difference and was cheap enough not to upset his No1 status,a nd that problem will still remain in Jan, even if we did try and sign a top striker, they would be overpriced. Thankfully, we have Mata and Hazard etc to score the goals, but the role of your No1 striker is to step up in important games and deliver and not rely on others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo talks Blue 85 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I still can't understand why the heck did RDM played him in the starting XI instead of Sturridge. He should be sold this Jan. It happens nothing when he's around. He simply waits for the world to arrive at his feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 he HAS to go. since yesterday every chelsea fan here (in my college) has vocally come out to support, even those who would not want to because we are normally outnumbered 5 to 1 by any other big club (barca, rm, arsenal, pool , cheators etc.). but still no one wants to get behind nando (and half of the chelsea supporters here are because of nando). he simply does not give the feel and vibe of a chelsea player and the sooner we realize this, the better. its best for both (nando and chelsea) if we accept that his stint here is a failure and it would be in the best interest of both the parties if we sell him in jan. zolayes and Joker10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cujo101 75 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have to agree with what has been said recently - His time is up. Simply not good enough and I hope that Danny Sturridge gets a real run in the team leading the line. I really wanted Fernando to succeed but it feels like we are flogging a dead horse. I don't believe that we can win the league title with Torres as the main striker and another forward in January now looks certain. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cujo101 75 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 A striker that took half his chances would be amazing, one that took a third would still be great. I really want DS to get a chance but I can't see RDM giving it to him (don't know why). DS will leave by Summer 2013 and show us how good he can really be given an opportunity.

TheCount 146 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I want a striker who will run forward and dribble past defenders and well Torres doesn't fit the bill.How many tho, a good striker will do maybe 2 at most, 3 in a wonder goal altogether, but beating 1 man is usually something a quality striker can do,No one should be expected to beat 4-5 or any more, also the whole point of a striker is to be in the position in the 1st place, not have to get into it.

chelseawise 115 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I am afraid Torres has to go. He sulked after our CL win and was promised ample opportunity this season. He has had his opportunity and has failed completely. I like the new Chelsea Policy of attracting the most promising youngsters and I think we should stick to the system and even get more aggressive. What I do not like is buying another high profile striker like Falcao or Cavani as they could also be the next Sheva and Torres.However what I do not like about Chelsea is that they do not give chances to new young Talent. I believe we should have kept Lukaku and given him chance. I do not see any reason why we cannot include two youngsters like Lukaku, Piazon etc in all home and away games with the bottom 8 clubs. I am very impressed with Lukaku, and I also saw him in action against Seattle, near my home. He was very impressive and definitely our next Drogba. His only drawback is that he cannot hold the ball but given time he will learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 SeriouslyCould have easily walked off after thisYep, a straight red. Torres should have been off far earlier than he really was, but it doesn't justify compensating one bad call with another bad call later on. Also, at the end of the game some ManU player got a yellow for diving, even though it really wasn't afaik. This Clattenburg fella has a hard time judging dives.I can't help but laugh whenever I see the face of this 4th official, he looks depressed and is probably murdering everybody in his thoughts He was getting ripped all game long for inept decisions made by someone who he has no control over.

TheCount 146 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 hes done in my mind... no more time for him...chelsea need a striker they can rely on for finishing (something torres was once good at)...we need someone who everyone hates and has a striker mentality, not a cry baby who loses the ball and sends in our crosses (we have mata, oscar, cole, ivan, hazard, and rami for that)...he doenst look like a natural goalscorer he once was, his confidence is shit, and i know he wont get it back at chelsea... im a big fan of torres but im a bigger fan of chelsea and he needs to leave... anyone else would do, except i dont like danny being our #9 and i feel that lukaku isnt yet ready or the type of player we need atm...would love to see, dzeko, lewendowski, falcao, holt, balotelli, those guys would fit perfect...He does the crosses because the people who are supposed to, dont. Thats the problem and up to the utd match i didnt see any signs of it changing. Hopefully we stick with more wide play and it might not be so bad. bloody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 And who exactly is then in the box if he crosses? It's totally unneccessary and counter productive. We do need an outlet out-wide so the trio don't always have to come inside in a game like United, but Torres coming wide dorsn't solve much unless we have someone else coming into the box, like Sturridge.

Las7 951 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes, it's not like Oscar; Mata or Hazard have much chance to get on the end of a cross, unless it's along the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 And when I compared Torres to Heskey in the sense that he is afraid to shoot, that he drops deeps, that he 'tries' to assist the team, I was mocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
