Fernando Torres

I wonder why they even give it a shot... Ok, he's one of their home-grown players, but come one, Atletico is far above his level by now...

As long as he's not our problem any more, he can work as Santa Claus at the local mall for all I care.

At least it is the last hope, the last place anybody could hope Torres will be 'great' again. Worth a try for both party. If it is still not working, at least they have their club hero back to retired, and Torres, I think will be happy he could retire in Spain with Atletico.

'Anywhere but here' sounds pretty good.

He's still our player isn't he? So why are Milan talking with Atletico and not us?

We are part of the negotiations if you believe what the media are saying. Apparently, we've had representatives at the talks.

The thing I don't understand is how he can be loaned to Atletico. Isn't a player only allowed to represent a maximum of two teams in a single season? He was already part of our squad in August and then obviously part of Milan's squad. Has that rule been changed?

You can only PLAY for two teams is how i understand the rules

He was part of our squad but he didn't play. It's much like in the CL, a player can be registered to the squad but he only gets cup tied when he plays so in this case Torres has only represented Milan this season and is free to play for another club should he make a move in January.

Will be interesting to see how the deal works out for us if he indeed does go back to Atletico. Another loan to June 2016 or a permanent transfer?

his best position now is obviously goalkeeper

he's good at keeping the ball out of the net

Knowing him if we put him in goal he'd let them all in. LOL

Not our player come January his contact expires next month from what I remember.

30 June 2016, don't remind me

He signed a 5 and half year contract in January 2011.

By far the worst transfer in football history. Quite amazing that Roman did not sack the entire board of directors and everyone involved in making the decision.
