Fernando Torres

[Dion 2,476]

If Torres went to a club that could cater to him, and build their entire system around how he plays, he'd easily score 25 a season. He is as good a finisher as Aguero or Costa, the difference is those guys got about 5 chances a game last season - Torres was lucky if he got even one. We've killed Torres, the fact he continues to show glimpses of how good he can be is testament to that. I want him to leave for the betterment of his own career, because he is still a brilliant striker.

Alex = Roman Abramovich confirmed.

Steve Sidwell and Tal Ben Haim did better at Chelsea than Torres.

Against Vitesse, Costa had three one-on-ones with the keeper. In the same game with the same players, Torres couldn't so much as get a sniff at goal.

Isn't this "no service" narrative getting a bit old?

[edetarod 2,155]

even Gerrard has contributed more to trophies for us than him

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Lol, it seems the effect from Alex's post is more pour gasoline on the fire.

2 years ago I would have said you lost it...when he arrived here I was one of his biggest detractors, and absolutely hated it when he started games over Drogba.

But after the Benitez season and the last one, I can see that Torres' poor record is not entirely his fault. Service has indeed been appalling. Granted he doesn't have the same fitness and the man has missed plenty of guilt-edged chances during his time here, but that's typical of any forward who hasn't settled into a good run of form or games for that matter..he really is a confidence player. The change from being labelled as top 2 or top 3 in the world to almost championship level flop is not easy for any player to take.

And yes, it would be better for him to pack off to another team though I suspect Mourinho rates him for his work ethic (yes I think he actually does) and wants to use him as a utility player.

OW comon, don't be so damn rational. Let's just all bugger Alex instead. So much more fun

This game proves exactly what torres is!!! Can't score if his penis is on the line for it!!!

I have said it before and I ll say it again. Having costa , dd and torres as our 3 options is a recipe for disaster. It WILL come back to bite us in the ass.

He should be no where near the side, he is so horrible it effects other players around him and we end up playing far worse.

Fernando Torres retire please

[ChelseaFC12 134]

Please release him already from the team and give his wages for his 2 years remaining...

I just can't stand him anymore.... I've had faith in him from so long but now I've run out of it. He's just useless completely useless.

The gift that keeps on giving.

I hesitate to even ask..but was his shot which was saved by the keeper's out-stretched foot our best attempt at goal in the game?

[Henrique 9,133]

Its not hard to understand the fact Torres is staying with Chelsea for another season. He will probably stay at Chelsea until 2016, when his contract expires.

Thats the best way to reduce the damage.

Abramovich and his board won't concede they were wrong again about buying an expensive striker.

The best way to not make Torres singing look as bad as it really is, is letting him fulfill his contract.

2016 is really only a year away too.

yes

[Tomo 21,733]

Gif of his miss?

[Madmax 9,219]

Gif of his miss?

Wouldn't make his top 10 in a blue shirt. Progress!

[didierforever 7,349]

jose cant possibly be thinking of going into the season with costa, 36 year old DD and this donkey as our strikers.
