Fernando Torres

I wonder who is going to be benched. Drogba, Anelka or Malouda ? Or maybe we gonna play with four attackers.

The fellas over at RAWK believe this deal will go through more than our own fans. Thats a good sign.

He took a massive pay cut to come here after showing incredible loyalty to Attletico, he played his heart out for us and has been shit on for three straight years by the board. He has been told bare faced lies about the intentions of the Club and our wish to compete at the top table.

Last season he was lied to by the medical team and nearly missed the World Cup because of it.

Even after all that he stayed loyal in the summer when he could easily of forced a move, he has seen Insua, Aquilani, Babel and Mascherano forced out of the Club and he still stayed loyal and gave the new owners an opportunity to back their words with actions.

Let's get this 100% straight the reason he has put in a transfer request 3 days before the window is because he has given NESV every opportunity to make a statement of intent. They have failed miserably off loading Babel and making joke bids for Suarez and Adam whilst failing to appoint a CEO, failing to appoint a permanent manager and failing to make a commitment to a Stadium, whilst leaving Cecil the snake in place.

Shevchenko part 2. The difference is, Sheva was cheaper.

Sheva was without PL experience and 4 years older.

[Rambo 1,729]

Sturridge was not on the bench today.

[J.F. 1,484]

injured?

[Term-X 7,891]

Sheva was 29, Torres is 26.

And most importantly Shevchenko was unproven in the Premier league.

[Steve 10,227]

Anyone comparing Torres to Sheva has problems....

[J.F. 1,484]

Sturridge missed training on Thursday, presumably because he was injured. Or he could be on his way out ....

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Lol let's not start becoming conspiracy theorists..

[Term-X 7,891]

Anyone comparing Torres to Sheva has problems....

Exactly.

Buck AND Gourlay in the crowd at Goodison

Sheva was without PL experience and 4 years older.

I was referring to the injury record. Thought it was obvious

[Wilson 358]

If we get Torres we might not need Aguero. That would be another 40+ mil!! I would like to see him at Chelsea though. Also how would our formation work? Torres and Drogba upfront? I'd hate to see Torres turned into a winger! Hmmm....

Very true!

Once again tx goes quiet when confronted with a valid argument.

Oh right, he'll come back as soon to + rep anyone who challenges my view. Typical.
