Fernando Torres

If this does happen, and its only a loan, what happens if he's crap? He'll come back in 12 months time and we'll be stuck with him for the remaining year of his contract and pay him £175k a week.

Sell him, fuck a transfer fee. Just give him away. That said, for his few great moments in a blue shirt, i'll be eternally grateful.

Yesterday's rumours said it would be a loan with an obligation to buy next year, which would make a lot of sense for Chelsea. That way we'd still have the £9m amortisation of his £50m transfer fee on the books this year and due to the Luiz & Lukaku money the club can easily afford it but then next year we'd get a transfer fee from Milan to cover at least part of Torres' remaining book value. Basically it'd done just because of FFP but other than that it wouldn't really make a difference compared to selling him outright now.

And if it's just a one year loan with him returning next year, it wouldn't be all that bad either because by then he'd only have a year left on his contract and the club probably wouldn't even have to compensate for his wages if he were to get a 2-3 year contract from some other club. A two-year contract at £80k a week is pretty much the same as one year at £170k a week so he'd get pretty much the same regardless.

Also, just getting him off the team would be worth pretty much anything...

I honestly wouldn't mind loaning him and just having Costa, Drogba and Scurrle for the CF spot. Yes I know Schurrle hasn't played great for us as a #9 but honestly he's no worse than Torres there. Getting Torres's wages (partially anyway) off of our books for a year would be great..plus there's the ever so SLIGHT chance he knocks in a few goals in the Serie A and we can move him permanently next year (I know unlikely ).

Torres out, Destro in would be the deal of the summer for me. Hope it happens.

I am on holiday in Florence as we speak and I can safely say that it is miles more beautiful than anywhere in England. The architecture alone is incredible. But fiorentina stadium is an absolute dog. Makes me feel so lucky to be a Chelsea fan!

if Milan take Torres off us, they'll become my second club

He gone yet

Loan the pair. MVG and Torres. Surely, after admitting they want Torres and are actively working on the striker issue, they cant have submitted a loan offer for MVG alone. Makes complete sense to lodge one for Torres same time

This is all too good to be true.
