[MikeCFC 45]

Call me thick.But is this worldwide shirt sales? or just mainland Britain and ROI?

i'm refering to Torres btw.

If we could emulate that with Torres then it will be good !

Best thing that i would hear just like phil thompson is just bitter scousers.I remember them treating torres like a damn god only gerr-ahd Was more popular and now he realised that the blue side is better.

Cry away scousers and the shirt burning and death threats.Your only making yourself look silly er

I went to Portugal last year badboy for a little break and all you saw on billboards was Ronaldo's boatrace, marketing one product or another.

He's even the face of the Portuguese National Bank

And that's a country that's meant to be close to bankruptcy! :huh:

No doubt Torres' shirt sales will bring in masses upon masses of revenue for the club. I'm getting a shirt with Torres' name printed on the back, and I'm not ashamed to do so. I've given up with names on the back of shirts, but I feel if I don't have Torres printed on the back of my shirt, then I'll probably see his transfer as a dream. Which I've often been thinking I'm still in.

Wont feel real or sink in until I see him in the blue Chelsea shirt. Sunday needs to hurry up!!

Indeed, the thought of him playing along Didier is almost surreal.

Torres shirt sales are 9 times the sales of the rest of the team put together in 48 hours.

He will be presented with his shirt at a press conference tomorrow

* Full Name: Fernando Torres

* Nick Name: El Nino

* Squad No: 9

* Position: Forward

* Age: 26

* Birth Date: Mar 20, 1984

* Birth Place: Fuenlabrada, Madrid

* Height: 6' 1'' (1.85m)

* Weight: 174 lbs (78.7 kg)

Strengths: A born goalscorer, Torres possesses all the attributes needed by a world-class striker. He is quick, strong, impressive in the air, blessed with expert technique and is cool and collected in front of goal as well as having an eye for the spectacular.

Weaknesses: The suspicion remains that Torres can be distracted from his task by some physical attention from defenders, while he can be isolated if service is not forthcoming.

Career high: Scoring the winning goal in the Euro 2008 final against Germany as Spain ended their lengthy wait for a trophy on the international stage.

Career low: Failing to help Atletico Madrid regain their place in the Spanish top flight on the final day of his first season in the first team. Atleti's slogan, conceived after their relegation the previous season, of 'One Little Year In Hell' had to be quickly scrapped.

Style: Clinical, classy, deadly, the complete striker.

Maybe.Hopefully the nutritionists at Cobham or Mrs Torres will have him eating more Paella

[Bacika 188]

Also they say about David Luiz Height:6' 1" (185cm)Weight:11st 7lbs (73.0kg)

that's also underweight....or this is some kind a mistake ??

FINISHING PRACTICE FOR FERNANDO

[HRiver 1,512]

Did Nando pass his medical before or after we signed him officially?

Can't be bothered to find the timeline but he passed the medical and then signed. The delay was LFC letting him leave Liverpool.

It's going to be a zoo tomorrow at the press conference. The media are going to have a field day with every syllable he and Carlo say.

My family has contributed to the shirt sales and helped recoup some of that signing fee. We're in the States so we're paying in US $. We've purchased the LS Green, LS Blue Home CL, SS Black Away CL. My daughter is extremely excited. Add this to the Drogba SS Black Away CL she already has.

It's only $, right?
