🇪🇸 Fernando Torres

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Heh Choulo, he earns in 1 week which most 'normal' people earn in 3-4 years!!! They also have children to support and work longer hours

I don't think Torres is on, or near, the breadline - nor will he be anytime soon

Money <> happiness - so yeah if he was suffering I think he would move, but he's not, so he won't...

Maybe come Jan, he'll re-evaluate..

Well that's easy to say from your perspective, but from his perspective what he makes is probably just enough. It's funny thing about us humans that nothing is ever really enough for us. Ever notice how when you get a pay raise in work, your expenses also automatically increase without you planning? That's why you don't see Billionaires throwing millions out of a window even though if they do they'd still have more money than 99% of people on earth.

If Mourinho signs Rooney and plays him, Lukaku and even Ba more often than Nando, not even playing for Chelsea will get him picked for Spain, and now with Negrado and Soldado playing for top teams in the PL (Soldado to Spurs is as good as done from what i keep hearing) and likely to be regular starters, any lack of game time will be curtains to his chances of playing in Brazil next summer.

He already has enough money to set himself up for life, would i do the same in his shoes? well, if i cared about my career probably but if i wasn't that bothered ill take the money, like i said Torres was considering his future last summer before we gave him assurances of playing time, so i guess he will be open to it, if Jose tells him his game time will be limited.

There's still a chance of him leaving, because like i said he was thinking about it last summer

If he can't make the Spanish team here or at Valencia then why would he move if he's earning more money here? You never see people who are set for life with money ever miss a chance to make more money. In fact, in my experience, poor/lower middle class people are much much more likely to put happiness, principals, moral stuff..etc ahead of monetary gain. But that's a debate for another time.

I can see Torres taking a pay cut to move to Barcelona for example, but Valencia? I find that incredibly unlikely in the current situation.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Valencia rumour is clearly bollocks. They're skint, not even in the CL and Torres is on massive wages.

Worth a read ^^^

I'm interested to see what Mou can do with Nando!

[Shane 2,275]

If this Valencia thing for £25m is true, I'll pack Nando's stuff and pay for his flights over.

Valencia are reportedly in talks to sign Chelsea striker Fernando Torres according to Spanish source Super Deporte. ‪#‎CFC‬

I shat my pants laughing with parts of that article. Seems a hagiography article!

'Torres goalscoring dried up with the arrival a Ba. Before that he could play pressure free"

What??? He was utter shit. Only scoring 7 meaningless goals against weaker opposition. What did the writer eat? Pure LSD?

Hahah yea true say but he has a point when it comes to how much Torres has paid back in terms of shirt sales ect.

[John1611 77]

He also did score some important goals for us. He technically got us the third spot with the goal against Everton, and then without that goal in the Europa League final we probably would not have won the trophy.

Spanish media reporting that Valencia have met with the representatives of Fernando Torres.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Couldn't afford his wages.

[The Skipper 20,609]

If he was going to go there he'd obviously have to take a wage cut. I don't think he'd mind that as much as people are trying to point out here though.

[lucio 5,418]

Valencia fans hate him and don't want him at all

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Valencia fans hate him and don't want him at all

Hate him? Why? Just cause he's not a good player is no reason to hate the dude. Unless, there's something else he's done which I'm not aware of.

Maybe because he kicked their ass while at Atletico Madrid? .. could be.

[laeth 527]

Torres isn't going anywhere unless we pay some of his contract at any new club.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,537]

Loan him out till his contract expires,we've done it with better players than him.

If they can't afford his wages they can give us some of their youth players..I'd rather roll the dice with them than keep trying to ram a square peg into a round hole.

Not sure. I follow Valencia a lot and recently on their forum's many people said they hate him and would rather give a chance to paco alcacer. Dosent matter because Valencia will be going after much cheaper options

Fernando Torres when he scores a goal or does a good assist : Reactions of Torres haters vs Torres fans

[bushman 2,043]

Fernando is going nowhere, unless Roman pays his wages elsewhere. This bimbo is hard to get rid of, just send him to train with the juniors ala Malouda.

Mourinho said: ‘We know Torres’s game. When we see Torres with his back to goal surrounded by two or three opponents, we know that he is not going to produce a piece of magic. But this is Torres. We want the team not to learn how to play with him, but to improve how to play with him.

GOODBYE TORRES IN JANUARY ...
