:champions: Okay, whatever works.

Well, I'm a wannabe Torrista, I'm not Spanish and do not go back to his AM days but I support Nando's career and wish him (and the club he plays for) all the best.

They love him at Atletico, always have always will.

When he left AM, fans went out to buy his shirt (and still do). When he left Liverpool, they burnt their Torres shirts. Yet, the Scouse will claim, "he'll never be loved like we loved him..."

If you love here is an idol and always will be, for 7 years was our greatest pride in a very poor skin gave us, at 17 years captain of a historical team in the league and all the pressure of world it means, rejected a thousand times larger offers from other teams, like not loving.

If it was, but all understood that he must leave, we left money with which to improve the team and the truth is we had torresdependencia and that was not good but I still longing for, at least I, is magnetic to people.

I also I have ordered my shirt chelsea

Exactly. Beyond ridiculous.

Guardian article

I'm surprised his family hasn't moved down yet, I thought they were in London already. Hopefully he settled quickly. No excuses for not scoring yet, but it's clear he's playing a very game and role at Chelsea to the one he played in Liverpool.

Dodo,

I think this this article is being piece-mealed from the Chelsea magazine article that's coming out tomorrow with the Guardian adding their own spin. I thought I'd read somewhere else where his family was with him now. They'd gone to Spain right before the transfer (smart move).

Brilliant post.

Sometimes I need a picture or two for clarity. He's a streaky player who can go quiet for a few games and then score in consecutive matches. 07/08 he was a beast.

Torres Goals by Season

[maber23 9]

I think people compare their adaptation to liverpool and think it was instant but it is not so ... there was the preseason and the help of Spanish friends as Reina, Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso who made things much easier ...

Here in Spain Villa needed with the various parties to mark boat (with preseason included) as well as Cristiano in the Madrid .. for me it is essential that you note is integrated with the team and that is .. the goal is to come ..

It has class, voluntand to improve and hunger to get things ... going to be a success no doubt ... I just need time .. some need more than others.

It is the responsibility of the coach get the most out of each player and if it gets the better of towers this team is going to be lethal and all rivals know why they do not want to be a success

Who was going to tell me that I would be happy as a victory for Chelsea, as I gave on Tuesday ...

David Luiz was the kind they wanted to adopt him .. I hope this victory will not be wasted losing or tying the following ,

my poor heart could not I have enough support to atletico!!

Interesting read about Pepe Reina and his possible future. Posting it here because he talks about Torres move.

Reina and the Future

"So why is he still there? "That's the question. I imagine the fans will recognise my commitment, they will appreciate that. But those who say that Fernando is a mercenary or a money-grabber for going are wrong. Fernando gave them the opportunity in the summer by staying at the club and things haven't changed much."

"In fact, Reina, Torres and Gerrard the club's three greatest assets were told they could not leave at a time when the club were looking for a new buyer. Reina will not admit it and nor will he deny it. "The clauses in my contract are between me and the club," he says simply but he secured a buy-out clause understood to be in the region of £20m. In the meantime, little changed to encourage him to stay. In fact, the handling of Torres's departure did the opposite. Loyalty cuts both ways."

"The offer for Torres came back again," Reina says simply. The offer for him did not. But it will. And then? Reina puffs out his cheeks. "I can't … I don't want to guess what the future holds."
