Fernando Torres

It's far too late for that. He will never come close to justifying a 50m transfer fee and 10m a season salary. The only thing he can do now is be less of an abject failure than he has been for most of his time at the club.

Yeah I'm not disagreeing. He'll never fully justify it, that's nearly impossible, what I am saying is that he'll atleast repay/justify some of it back if he has a good season. But he needs to grab a lot of (important) goals like the two against Schalke or the one against Bayern for that to happen.

Agreed. He needs to start scoring in the league too; just one in his last 25 league games.

Far too many times he has looked good then faded for a handful of games.

Torres's work rate vs Eto'o's quick movement and finishing vs Demba Ba's off the ball movement.

About time we have variety to choose from.

Can anyone verify if this is true?

100 matches:

Didier Drogba: 41 goals

Fernando Torres: 39 goals

Except it's not 100 matches for Torres, but 100 starts. It's 38 goals in 141 matches including 100 starts and 41 sub appearances. While DD had 41 goals in his 100 appearances between starts and sub appearances.

On any account, what Didier offered for Chelsea beside goals, as a target man, as the center of attack and often center of the whole team, as a leader and big game player, can never be compared to what Torres does.

Also goals are goals but Drogba scored goals against the highest caliber of oppositions and many of Torres goals came against Europa League opponents and as you say Drogba just offered many other things than goals. The amount of goals he got us that got us trophies and decided big games were priceless.
