Fernando Torres

[Jose M 140]

I would just like to refrain myself from any of your criticizing posts and say this.

Goodbye El Nino, you were my favourite striker long before you joined Chelsea. I loved you're style, you're flair. Guess now you are a mere shadow of the man you once were. Goodbye forever.

Your taking the piss right?? He's on a 5 year deal He is no way finished we may not even seen the best of Fernando Torres yet!

I think he started the season well and will get back to the that if AVB shows more faith in him!

André did back him. Torres started for a whole month or so this season, while Drogba bided his time on the bench. Torres continued to follow a trend of "1 step forward, 2 steps backwards". We've heard all the excuses, 'poor service', 'lack of faith', etc.

Well those are all void now. Look at Drogba's final goal last night, how he held the line and waited for Mata to thread that ball in for him. When has Torres demonstrated this desire on the pitch? I've had enough of him. I backed him all year & understood his frustrations. But there's no interest or passion from him at Chelsea. I personally feel, if he went back to Spain (to Leti) he'd find his happiness again & passion for the game.. Thus, doing well.

But it won't happen here, at Chelsea.

We might see the best of Fernando Torres, if we invest in a time machine.

When he plays now, it feels to me it's like 10 men + Torres... he seems so, I don't know how to explain it.. a non-Chelsea player playing for Chelsea. It's almost as if all focus and attention is on him, and not in a positive way, but in the way that whenever he's involved in a play, everybody stops and watches if he's gonna fuck up again or not... he knows it and that mental pressure gets to him, hence it's like a curse to him and the whole team. Everything seems to go against him, everything.. even small things like throw ins. I was becoming used to him being a Chelsea player in September when everybody was "El Nino is back" and he showed some promise, but now he's alienated again. I really don't know what to think of him anymore. I'm starting to agree with what RZA said above, but I hope he will make us eat our own words, because he has to prove us wrong... there is no other way, it's for the benefit of the team. If his mere presence hinders team progress, then he must go, and at the moment it's looking that way.

He's simply no longer consistent enough to play at a big club.

He should go back to Liverpool

How long did we have to wait until drogba was at his best for chelsea?

You dont seem to realise that all strikers need time when they come to chelsea and drogba was at his best yesterday because he played the game that he is good at and not the high line football..there is no point in us to depend on him for long, he is 33 and leaving in the summer!

so it would make more sense to TRY and get the best out of torres and if i dosnt happen sell him in the summer transfer window!

And i have to say torres did show a lot in the swansea game(until he got sent off) and utd game, drogba was on fire yesterday but before that he was not any better!

You were making fun of drogba and now after one good game he suddenly is the best again!

Bringing in Luka Modric was vital for the success of Torres. Our failure to do that has led to another miserable six months for Fernando.

If someone offers a cheeky 20-25m pound bid, I can see us taking it this January.

we brought in Mata ,,other strikers seem to be able to benefit from his service

Why did we wait for Drogba though? Because he came from a different country, a different league. We knew nothing of his assets or anything.

We watch Torres for the better part of 4years. Destroying our own defence, and others. We saw him become one of the most feared strikers in the world at Liverpool. We have a right to demand some return from the investment within 12months.

"1 step forward, 2 backwards". That is not a good return for the reputation that he's earned for himself.

Yes and some strikers dont seem to get that many minutes with him on the pitch anelka torres..

Your blatant cheering for a Chelsea player to fail is quite sickening honestly. Wise cracks and sarcasm to try and hide your hate don't help.

It is true that you have to wait a bit longer for players from different leagues BUT liverpool play different football than we do so in my eyes it was clear that he needed some time to adapt! And i have to say he is taking WAY to long! All that i am saying is we should no give up on him just yet and play him because he could be the future and drogba will not be our future! "1 step forward, 2 backwards" that is also true but like i said he could still make it happen!

We paid 50mil and AVB said he would still pay that much so wheres youre trust in torres?

RZA... I'm enjoying your posts today. Keep em coming

[Luke 60]

Is it me or has he lost his pace completely?

Actually pace is the only thing Torres has atm. Everything else (touch, technique, movement, anticipation...) is gone.
