Has to be him. Either a loan or a transfer. I can't see jose going into the next season with costa-torres-Dd as his option. Its suicidal.

I have a feeling that Torres will leave and Jose will choose Drogba to replace him which makes perfect sense as Costa and Lukaku will get the chance to play more often.

A strikeforce of Costa-Lukaku and Drogba looks really deadly. Hope this happens.

You do know that most of the revenue from shirt sales goes straight to Adidas right? We only get a quite small percentage of the actual profit. So his marketability is nothing huge.

fair points, but reckon you are all missing the other aspects of marketing: market penetration and brand recognition.

When Torres fans in country X wear Torres jersey, they are also promoting Chelsea as a club as well as its affiliates.

Similar, but not nearly as big as Park at United. As good as Park was in defense, he was never good enough to play for United IMO. Sounds familiar?

Park never cost United £50m and £185k a week though. Also Park never had the pressure of being a 'star player' at United either. Park's marketability and brand was being used to penetrate the Asian market, and it did so very successfully. Torres' marketability is useful for what exactly? He was a global superstar when he arrived here but what is he useful for now? Some deluded fanboys/girls? Some Spanish fans? Like you said, it isn't anywhere near the marketability that Park offered for United.

What I think it is - it's in Torres' contract. In his contract I think we agreed that he'll be one of the faces of the club (hence why the always mention him in interviews in big signings + how his face I plastered on all of our ad campaigns and around Stamford Bridge); so unfortunately we have to oblige the terms of the contract. I seriously can't wait for the day his contract runs out/we sell him. He's a leech.

preaching to the choir...

I was just mentioning that the club will make more out of him than "merely" shirt sales. That the calculation wouldn't be as simple as profit in shirt sales.

That he is currently completely inadequate at this level, no question.

I've suspected this for quite a while...there might be an appearance related clause as well...

I think you are defending him looking at your name... A sort of, look what he has done video i'm guessing.

Let's be honest though. The only reason he was that far up field is because he lost the ball and couldn't be bothered to get his lazy arse back.

A few important moments (Barca, Europa League) cannot hide the fact he has been fucking dire his entire Chelsea career. Anyone that attempts to argue that fact is completely deluded.
