[Thomas Williams 166]

Today Torres scored in the 75th minute to give chelsea their 75th premier league goal and ensure the win to give Chelsea 75 points for the season.

75 + 75 + 75 =225

2 + 2 + 5 = 9

El Nino is back!

I think his recent run of good form certainly puts him in the shop window and there will definitely be teams who take a look at him - one of them will be Atletico.

I also think some of the arguments being put up against his move don't quite chime with 'reality'. He's a professional footballer and a decent bloke by all accounts so I could imagine him taking a slight pay cut if the circumstances were right. As for his agent, he'd probably have him moving every other season because that's when he'd get paid the big bucks.

There are teams with money who want to win the Europa League and he's had a very good season at that level, and there are leagues in the world where he would put away 25 goals a season. If he does stay then there have been a few things in recent weeks to suggest he could be a useful player but we've all seen this before.

Ultimately he's enhanced his reputation in the last 6 weeks not just with prospective buyers but also with the fans a little bit.

Even though, Fernando scored a couple of important goals, I doubt he is back as some people might think.

Fernando was & most likely will be a burden for Chelsea for 3 more years.

Would I like to see him move on ? Yes, I would. Even though, nobody´s going to pay more than 20-25m I still believe Roman should swallow his pride & let him go.

I assume, it will all depend on whom Chelsea ´s buying next.

We should keep him just because he's Mata's best friend and Mata will be sad if he goes lol. Seriously though, there's a lot of Spanish comradery in the camp, dunno if anyone saw the Juan Mata special report so it's probably best he just stays for the sake of the harmony in the squad. Also i hope he stays because it would be so interesting to see Jose as his boss. That will be interesting.

I cant see Torres being sold (unless we use him to get Falcao) The board wont look at his goals/games ratio or what opposition teams he has scored against, they will see him as Chelsea's top scorer with 23 goals & 2 cup final goals, I would imagine they will rate Torres above Ba as well. some people say he has had a bad season yet he is our top scorer! how many will he score next season if he has a good one? and if he continues his trend of improving every season for us?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

23 goals in total for 12/13. I've criticised him at times, but will always love him. Can't help but smile from ear-to-ear when he scores! Thanks Nando!

So the writing is on the wall by the looks of it.

Official Chelsea website and twitter have been posting all of these blogs and quotes about how he's looking forward to next season here and beyond, and how he can't wait to continue working with the rest of the squad, and how much he loves the fans.

We see him in every photo shoot for the new kit and training gear.

Our board aren't even contemplating selling him are they? Looks much more likely than not that he'll continue holding us back next season.

If I were Jose, the first thing I'd say to the board is that the first order of business is to move Torres on. Can't see how he'd want him.

I wish one of Lukaku, Torres, or Ba was an asshole, so it was clear who to get ride of

Why would they? His shirts sell phenomenally well. Even if he has been a bad signing on the pitch, off the pitch he has been a revelation. Managed to encourage Mata to sign, and has made millions selling shirts with TORRES 9 on the back. The club wouldn't give that up any time soon.

Even if it kills us, apparently.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Haha, fair point.

But I don't personally think Torres has had a terrible season. To the contrary, I think he's had a good season. We have to realise he is not the 40 goals a season man we thought we'd signed, but a half-decent second option. He's scored 23 goals this season, which is actually the second-best tally of his career - and you don't score goals by playing badly.

Yeah, but c'mon. How many of those goals were against teams that didnt even belong on the pitch with us?

For the cash we spent on him, he should be scoring 23 goals in the league alone.

We need to move him on for us to take that next step and get back to where we should be.

[DJames 729]

We should probably only play Torres in big matches....

He got us the final

He kept us in the FA Cup

He kept us third in PL

*and whatever else I've forgotten*

Can't deny he comes through for us in the end.after much heartache of course

[yuvala 2,167]

For me, there's no place for Torres Ba Lukaku + a worldclass striker in our team.

He has had an average season. I hope people do not mistake what has been (and probably will be IMO) the best season of Torres' Chelsea career for a 'good' season compared to the other players, or other strikers. A strike rate of 1 in 3 does not define a good season for me. For me going half a season without scoring a PL goal also does not define a good season for me as well. He has just about been passable. What has been successful for Torres in comparison to his time at Chelsea shouldn't be held in the same light as a successful season for a striker. Out of 10 I'd give him 6 for this season. Then I'd sell him, and bring in Cavani/Falcao!
