Fernando Torres

[Oscar 441]

[Special Juan 27,458]

I'm not joking here but I expected him to miss.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Awesome composure, but I expected him to shoot straight at the defender on the ground when he put them both on their arses

Such a rat that Casillas, himself was the most overrated goalkeeper of the last decade.

Harsh to label a man a rat for speaking the truth.

anybody miss him?

[1chelsea 864]

I miss Diego Costa

[BlueLion. 21,491]

anybody miss him?

In a weird way, yes. I miss having to defend someone in every post-match thread

[Madmax 9,219]

I miss not rubbing my eyes in disbelief when our striker scores a goal.

Must I show you his Liverpool / 2008 Euro Compilation? Fernando was the best number 9 in the world at that time. His pace along with his composure in front of net was unstoppable at the time.

I've seen both of those and better, I saw the games. I don't need to see them again. What I saw led me to form a very negative opinion about Fernando Torres.

This isn't hindsight talking, I was saying Torres is an extremely ordinary player while he was scoring those goals at Liverpool. I'm unsurprised about the emerging evidence that people in the game, like his Liverpool teammates, recognised the truth about Fernando's failings. I accept that your opinion differs, and of course you are right to challenge any point of view that you disagree with but I really think those Liverpool numbers were a blip, a blip which misled our club into making a disastrous commitment to Torres.

Stats count, of course they do, but none of us believe that they tell the whole story. The rest of Nando's tale was accurately understood by Casillas, by Danny Murphy, and by the unnamed Liverpool players whose negative opinion of Torres Murphy has since told us about. I have no doubt that many others who have not yet chosen to make their opinion public understood it; I only wish that Carlo had too.

Hateful just one L but Torres was 3 years of HELL .. APOLOGISE not APOLOGIZE

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Torres was never better than Villa or Eto'o during any point in his career.

Torres was never better than Villa or Eto'o during any point in his career.

He was better than Villa for large parts IMO, but Eto'o is one of the best CF's this generation.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Torres was never better than Villa or Eto'o during any point in his career.

Is this some sort of joke? He was the best striker on the planet for almost 3 years between 07-10.
