Fernando Torres

[Shane 2,275]

Torres, and that besides him being shit as a player and weak as a character is the biggest problem, gives a shit about the club. He has won everything, he has no motivation to play on, his body is finished. he started playing so early, it's just like Michael Owen, his career has survived itself with his constant loss of form, pace and skills.

Brilliant example. Burnout. Another player who lost his pace and everything else went. Time for Nando to go and Lukaku to shine.

[Tomo 21,733]

Looking back at some comments on this thread last summer about how people were convinced Torres will shine when he is made #1 and not have the Drogba shadow, is even funnier/cringeworthy to read in hindsight than it was at the time.

who is dumb enough to take that bet?

[Milan 17,853]

Wishful thinking - Jose's words on players being in trouble if they are second choice are directed at both Rooney and Torres. Meaning, Torres can pack his stuff and leave for good.

Again, wishful thinking.

try to loan him out, or sell him

try to give him the message play like you should

or go weaken an other team.

if he gets the message, we will see the torres we like

Unless you're willing to pay his wages yourself, I can't see how that is possible

He's intimating that Torres and JT are leaving the club then?

[Cosmin 2,484]

Wasn't someone "close to the club" announcing that Cavani to Chelsea is a "done deal" not so long ago?

[Blue Roar 240]

He's intimating that Torres and JT are leaving the club then?

mixed feelings

Doubt Terry is leaving. Torres leaving, on the other hand, would be pretty awesome.

[Hamilton 2,120]

Mourinho believes he could get more from Torres and said he would help him and he even defended Torres's inconvincible performance.

Indeed

Jose Mourinho believes Fernando Torres can again become the player who persuaded Chelsea to part with £50m, but the striker's effectiveness is dependent on the opposition's approach

Nope. If you read the comments and not the spin by the writer then Jose is very damning with his appraisal of Torres. He confirms everything that we have known, and that previous Chelsea managers were afraid to say, and all but confirms his playing time will be reduced significantly.

Read just the quotes and nothing else and you'll understand perfectly what Mourinho is saying about Torres. He will be gone within a year.

So in a gist, Mou def thinks the strikers aren't good enough. None of them he says can play in close quarters, turn and make a play, hence why he wants Rooney.

Regarding Torres, he says he'll play him depending on the opposition as he likes to run in behind in space so presumably, against opponents that stay deep we'd likely never see Torres start.

Imo, if Torres is being saved for opposition that don't play deep then he's screwed because Lukaku also prefers the same tactical approach and he's def better than Torres.

He's really screwed because how often do we play teams that don't play deep? There are very few teams that will open up against us and play.

Another false dawn from Beasley. Just when are we going to start ignoring his crap on here??
