MichaelDance 552 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The way we played wasn't great but that's not an excuse for Torres, he is shite. 20 PL goals in 110 games, for perspective Eto'o got 9 in 21.Well he scored a lot for Liverpool, we thought "hey let's get him and grab a bargain" we never knew Liverpool was smirking they got 50M for a crap player. He's scored less for us than even before Liverpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike 373 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 So did Essien yet his thread doesn't explode with HES BACK every time he does something semi decent.Cms never get the glory of a striker....Essien never really came back after his injuries, even though like Torres, I hoped one day he could.

He's scored less for us than even before Liverpool.He was already declining for Liverpool, but every one thought it was just a blip when it was actually early burnout.Essiens decline was just as steep, he just didn't make a big money move at the wrong time to draw widespread attention to it.

We were stupid for that, Torres was a blessing in disguise. If he had worked out well, we would probably be splashing cash still like then. Siliver lining.

Was he supposed to say "No, accept less money because I'm declining cause of these nahhing injuries."? Lol.Not to scare us off, but if we don't need the player, don't do it, and if he's nearing 30.

Joker10 946 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Gullit was saying (week ago) that if Torres starts scoring like crazy for Milan, which he thinks is possible, it won't bode well for Serie A. It would just show how slow the league is, that a player like Torres can thrive without having much pace left. Gervinho's been doing there what he was never able to do for Arsenal.I don't believe that, that road is very slippery. Graziano Pelle was a Serie B flop, so far he has been one of the biggest reason for Southhampton current standing after the fire sale they had in the summer.Gervinho is playing under the great Rudi Garcia, his former manager at Lille. Certainly he knows how to best utilize Gervinho. I hope Torres does well, i certainly wish him the best even though his play was frustrating as any player i can remember. Not only from that perspective, but if he plays well his value increases maybe he won't be a complete deadweight to this club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Apparently the Milan president came into the dressing room at half time and demanded Fernandos introduction and is putting pressure on Inzaghi to play him more.Torres must have the best sales pitch in living history, never have I seen a player be so shit at his job but have so many people fawning over him.
