Fernando Torres

[The Chels 2,502]

what the fuck 20 million for destro? thats too much.

i would rather take balotelli.

Players like Balotelli, Cavani, etc. wouldn't be happly playing second fiddle to Costa.

Ashley Cole be like "oh god not him again"

Is that Torres or a horse?

Torres is the DEAD DONKEY ,, that we cant give away never mind flog

[Yeboii 1,844]

25M is a lot of money for a player that plays just 10-15 games as a starter.

25M to lose Torres and get Destro sounds decent though

Ashley Cole be like "oh god not him again"

Nah, at least then he'd have one familiar face in the team so he wouldn't feel so left alone anymore.

#ASRoma are interested in signing Fernando Torres if they are able to reach an agreement over his wages of £180,000 per week.

Which probably means that it will fail too like every previous rumored proposals - who in their right mind would want to pay Torres' fee?

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Seems like a lot of dough but the prospects of getting this clown out of the team and someone else paying his wages is not something I can't ignore. I don't expect it to happen, if it does this will go down as the greatest summer window in club history... Landslide.

I don't know anything about this Destro kid, youtube footage doesn't show what type of player he is with ball to feet. He looks like a poacher type close comparison being Chicharito. So long as he can play a bit of football and recycle possession I'm fine with it... Whatever it takes to get rid of Nando really.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Its still quite impossible this to happen.

Its up to Torres who has to accept to go to Roma (might not want to go there) and secondly, Chelsea is probably not prepared to put so much money in that deal. 20m for Destro, plus "losing" Torres on loan for nothing, while still having to pay around 10m for his wages while he wont even be here. And around 4-5m for Destro wages. Thats about 35m£ for those two players only, however we might get some back if Roma decides to buy Torres at end of season (but I dont see that happening and we are stuck with torres again).

Unless Torres goes permamently to Roma plus 15m for Destro, I dont see it happening. And question if Roma is even prepared to give so much money for Torres wages...

But I hope it happens anyway. Destro looks to be Mou choice and that means he will put lot of effort to make Destro play well here and motivate him.

Striker Fernando Torres, 30, could leave Chelsea after they held talks with Roma about a swap deal involving 23-year-old Mattia Destro, regarded as one of the most coveted forward in Europe. - BBC News

Sounds like a good deal.

Please please please let it happen please please please

I'll be a little sad when he leaves, to be frank. He has always been professional and generally likeable guy ... and I've always thought the reputation of the club and Roman is all rolled-up with his success ... any way, if he does leave, we should all say thanks for that goal at the Nou Camp

Up until the last bit I thought I had clicked on the Petr Cech thread.

Torres: I didn't care if Chelsea won or lost.

Torres: I didn't care if Chelsea won or lost.

If you're talking about what he said right after Munich 2012... I thought what he said was something like " I didn't want to be like some players who didn't care if the team won or lost if they weren't playing "

He said it during the season after at some point, and the "other players" had the sense to keep there gobs shut. That's if there was other players.

Ash didn't play for weeks yet celebrated our winner last season vs Everton like the supporters.

I will never forget that. Not only was he shit but he stopped carrying about the badge and only stuck around because no one else will pay him those wages... Torres can go fuck himself.
