Fernando Torres

[lionsden 4,689]

Tbf Ronaldinho decline is overstated, obviously he couldn't maintain his brilliant Barca forms but his Milan form was OK at 1st I thought, even now I still see occasion videos of him popping a free kick in here and there for his club in the Brazil league. Torres decline is just borderline on unbelievable though, I mean he looks like a Sunday league player, can't even do the very basic right anymore. It is like someone goes inside his body and decides to manipulates his brain so his football ability is reduced to 10% of what it once was.

You said it yourself, he went from winning back to back ballon dor to an ok/average player at milan. Thats very bad decline. Normally when ballondor winners or contenders still in their 20's decline, they go from elite level to partially world class or at worst, just a level below world class. Dinho pretty much went from being the best player in the world to average/mediocre.

Pressure is a bad thing and it has destroyed him. Something to watch out for with our youngsters

Injury and big money move = end of Torres.

It is sad really - I know he's a multi millionaire - but money ain't everything, it only is to those that don't have it. My mate inherited around £5 million when his parents died, got a Ferrari etc - 2 years later diagnosed with Stomach cancer and 4 months later passed away, even his money couldn't save him and he did say he'd give it all up just to live and bring up his kids. That's when I realised chasing money is less important and life is about how you feel.

Brilliant post as always Muzchap. Im really sorry to hear about your friend.

How's Ronaldinho doing in Liga MX? Perhaps Torres should consider playing in a north american league.

Feel sorry for Torres. If Milan ever have to terminate his loan contract, no way he will be coming back to Chelsea, he will be loan to another club, most likely outside England, maybe he should go back to Spain. How is MU legend doing at Sociedad? Maybe he could pick Torres.

There's rumours we're offering him free in the January transfers, and it wouldn't surprise me, he's not worth it in wages or transfer fees.

Those Mickey Mouse websites have linked Torres with Liverpool.

Exactly, the only thing that need to be sorted first is his wage demand, before talking anything else.

He would be perfect with Balotelli, Borini and Lambert What a garbage quartett.

Rumour said Rafa want to bring him to Napoli

[OhForAGreavsie 6,060]

I never said he'd be successful as a winger because of a few good moments, just that he may be better off trying something different as playing as a striker is not working for him, especially if he has a good attackng fullback alongside him, it could work out for him.

No, it could not work out. How can we be sure of this? We've seen Torres play.

Make a list of all the attributes required to be a successful wide man, then scratch off the ones Torres possesses. Any guesses as to how many items will remain on the list when you've done that? My feeling is that it would be exactly the same number you started with.

I'd bet a lot of money that this rumour is nonsense. Who should have a better understanding of what Torres has become than a man who watched it happen then was saddled with him a second time?

Who knows maybe he want to try it for the third time, lol.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

It won't. What's the point of trying something different if he can't even get the basics right?

because what is the point persisting with something that clearly isnt working.

Haha well if he does we are happy and they are plus that means they technically got 50m from us for nothing and are still crap.
