Fernando Torres

[coolhead23 1,146]

No matter how much he was booed for, all the curse we rained on him ... He would always be best remembered for the goal at Nou Camp vs Barca and the goal in the Europa finals against Benfica ... Champions league medal, Europa League medal and FA Medal, he did decent for himself ... only if we had the original Torres from Liverpool he would had been a legend ... All the best Torres on future engagements hope you find some form which helped you become one of the best for that brief period of time ...

So they bought Cerci for £12m just to swap him back with Torres six months later???

They could have saved that money by simply asking Chelsea to involve Torres in the Diego Costa deal. What a dumb move. And a waste of £12m.

If I'm not mistaken, I think this actually means that we're going to have to pay all of the remaining 20m of his price this season instead of 10 this year and 10 next year.

thank you for everything

[Dimitri 4]

Finally, I feel so much better now....

Good luck in Atletico

[ZOS 580]

Good luck Fernando.

I bloody hope not lol he's sold onto them they pay his wages.

Not the wages but the transfer fee which is amortized on FFP. When he was on loan he was still technically our player even if he won't play another game for us, so the remaining fee was divided between this year's and next year's books. Now, it'll all count in this year's balance on FFP.

Meh I hate FFP but I suppose we like to keep in their good books so we'd follow it anyway.

Good bye

Hope he can do well at Atletico. My bet is he retires at the end of his contract.

Happy for him to return home, really wanted to see him back at Atletico in the summer. Think he will do well in a 2 strikers system next to Mandzukic (if they play that)

[Milan 17,854]

At least somewhat happy for him he is coming home...

This is definitely something I will always remember him for, probably his best moment in the Chelsea shirt at least for us supporters.

The sound of glass is stunning

[Jase 43,479]

Can we declare a public holiday for this delightful news? Don't have to worry about him returning anymore!

Also, suspect a particular member here would be absolutely devastated at the news...

[Polo7 3,496]

thank you for everything

Everything? Lol. All he did was rob our football club of thousands every week. Good riddance.

but then they still would be playing with 1 striker

If Torres should play against us in Europe, I hope no one will boo him. He should never have been signed, we know that. Once he was signed he should not have been selected as often as he was. We know that too, but none of this was his fault. Promises were made to Torres in order to persuade him to join. The club the decision to bring him here and the club made those promises. This entire mess is the club's fault. I hope we will continue to show up other clubs in the way we treat our ex-players with respect.

[Fernando 6,465]

I can't believe it, Ex-blues.

Oh how I dreamt this moment
