Fernando Torres

[didierforever 7,349]

So if we sold him we'd have to add about £18 million to the FFP expenditure because the rest of his fee would be due.

But we'd save about £7 million this year in wages and £8 million next year.

So we'd need a fee of about £11 million to break even on him (the fee covering the final transfer balance minus his wages).

That's right isn't it?

Fact is that he costs us about £18 million per year which is more than enough for another marquee signing.

We are already covered FFP wise with the sale of lukaku. That was a 20mil profit. So it not only covers up torres' FFP cost but also the cost of the 2nd striker (remy/bony/chicha)

True, but I'm talking about purely him covering his own cost to leave and the Torres-sized hole he'd leave.

Would you guys think it is better to loan him with still paying 100% of his wage, rather than having him in our team?

Just out, anywhere, just get him out and make way for another option.

yes, out of sight , out of mind. and he couldn't cost us points , with retarded misses.

With the Lukaku money, selling Torres, and possiby even Cech, depending on how the early season goes, we should have enough money to get in cavani.

That 4-4-2 formation!

No. That just seems silly.

Nope best idea is to send him on a World Tour where he is signing t-shirts in Malaysia, Phillipines, US, China, Japan, Arab Emirates etc. He can at least do something positive in such a case and we can fly him Economy everywhere to save some money on travel.

Even if Wolfsbrurg realy offer enough money and wages, why the fuck would Torres want to join them? I think Torres will leave only if barca or some big club wants him, no chance of that happening.

The fucker is staying here forever.

He may very well be second choice.. Which is terrifying.

Agreed. I can't see him wanting to leave Chelsea. Top club, ridiculous salary, fans cheering him no matter how badly he plays, familiar surroundings and friends.

He's happy where he is. Obviously I want him to leave, but I'll be extremely surprised if he decides to do that.
