Fernando Torres

Recommended Posts

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres has sent a feisty jibe toward his former manager Jose Mourinho, claiming the Chelsea boss can only be successful when splashing cash.


“They’re very different,” he told AS, when comparing Mourinho to Diego Simeone.


“It’s difficult to compare, because it’s not the same being on a team where you have players you want, spend the money you want and after that they win, that’s what makes Mourinho.


“That’s not easy. And with Simeone the experience you have with Atleti is winning with other resources.


"I don't know what Mourinho would do at Atletico or Simeone at Chelsea. What I like is that they are very intelligent to adapt to what they have."


Torres joined Chelsea for a staggering £50 million transfer fee in 2011, but fell out of favour under Mourinho.

He seems to spend more time talking off the pitch than actually 'talking' on it...

Well we spent 50m on him and seemed to struggle to find a goal up front for a long period of time. I guess he forgot about that.

Btw for all the praises Torres has been getting since getting back all he has done so far is 3 goals against Barca and Real+ an assist for Mario for the 4-0 win. Against all the other teams like today he did nothing worthy again.

At Inter he had funds too for Quaresma, Sneijder, Millito...etc so aprart from Porto it is true tbh.

Porto he inherited a mess and won them back to back titles and a CL on a NEGATIVE net spend.

Inter he had a relitevely low net spend and won the treble.

Chelsea mark 2 he has turned an unbalanced mess off a squad into genuine title material and not far off being amongst the best in Europe. To put it in perspective LVG spent 150m and United are still in a state.

That's before I mention his work at Leira, Portugals version of Charlton (he can't work miracles with a small club with little budget apparently).

Chelsea mark 1 and Real are the only times he has had anywhere near the amount of funds people suggest, 2 jobs out of 6, 7 if you include Benfica but I ain't that cheeky.

Atletico, unlike barcelona and madrid can't score against shit teams for some reason.

Go check his net spent at Inter and tell me he had funds there.

If I remember correctly, a better argument would be that the rest of the big Italian clubs were decimated because of the scandals two years before and sold some of their best players (Juve was in second division for a year even). So at the time, Inter was by far the best team of the league. Juventus dropping a league was what got them Zlatan for example.

Doesn't explain the CL win of course.

Jose has a net spend of 42 mil £ in 2 season for us. Those are unlimited funds???

In his CL winning season at inter (2009-10), he had made money on transfers rather than have some net spend.

So he tends to win the CL when he is managing clubs who are not spending much over budget? Sounds good ;)
