francozola 2,040 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 lol don't think Monaco would bother with him when they're able to attract Falcao. Our best hope is Rafa at Napoli or maybe Atletico if Falcao leaves?Anyway I don't see him leaving this summer Amblève. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Made the provisional 26 man squad for Spain's Confederations Cup campaign, funny enough.Real dearth of forward players if you look at their list - Mata, Torres, Pedro, Villa, Navas, Soldado.

Kinol 337 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Cant belive Torres is in the squad for Confiderations Cup. I feel sorry for Negredo with his 27 goals in 39 games this season... Styles, yuvala and chelseathebest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Torres asked to leave? Awesome. He clearly knows that Mourinho will buy a striker and make him rot in the reserves. Torres doesn't deserve to play in a Mourinho Chelsea team. Thanks but ya know... do one Nando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! mountaineerfly 10 Posted May 29, 2013 Popular Post!

Mustafa 885 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Here's why I don't think he'll be sold this summer; 1. We'll only have 2 strikers.. Like this past season.(Because ftankly, all of our potential buys are heavily linked elsewhere.. Falcao,Lewa, Cavani) 2. He's shit! 3. He's not getting any younger and at 29 past peak.Torres will stay .. Trust me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Share Posted May 31, 2013 can't believe people are writing off demba ba before he has even had a full season & pre season under his belt. Judge him after next season. I remember anelka didnt really play well for us when he joined in January too.This is a discussion we've had around here before: judging current ability is much easier than potential ability. Demba Ba is 28, his game will not change that much--same with his body. We've seen countless games of him playing for Newcastle and now Chelsea.Yes, he can improve a bit. More adapted to the team and the training, but what I see is a good squad player nothing more. He is just not technical enough for a team like Chelsea. Smaller sides can start a player like him and play to his strengths, but Chelsea need a player who can participate and link up play with the other technical players we've got. I reckon Ba just doesn't have the quality to do that (first touch, quickness, short dribbling, etc).Ba is a good player, but expecting him to be as good as A RVP or Aguero (would cite others but let's not go there) would be delusional.Ba is a lot better at finishing than Torres ATM. Ba can also handle physical game a lot better (though I feel he goes to the ground too often for a guy of his size). Everything else, other aspects of the game, I think Torres is (still) superior. Yes, my opinion is debatable, esp because confidence and form do affect technique (Torres end of the season > start of the season). Some aspects are not debatable, such as pace and quick turns, etc.With all that out of the way, let me emphasize that IMO neither is good enough to start for Chelsea.* and Torres not being good enough does not make Ba good enough either.

Not sure if its true does anybody know?A number of clubs were after the young, gifted Torres whilst he was an Atletico player.As for Torres now, I can only hope he leaves the club.
