He would be if he put in enough fucking effort.

tbh I can see some effort from him, he tries awful lot of ambitious and sometimes impossible dribbles, but more often than not he fails... it's not that he's not trying, he has just lost his sharpness. It may be a case of trying too hard, if he wasn't so eager to prove himself... He isn't acting on instinct, he thinks too much on his next move for a striker.

This is true, and this was also the problem with Danny in the early stages of preseason.

50 million excuses.

For me, Torres needs to leave at the end of the season if the doesn't start playing like we expect him to. You don't pay a shitload of money and monstrous wages for a player to score 10-15 goals and play decent. You pay it for someone who will lead the team through the tough times, score match winners and be a club's symbol. You pay a shitload of money for someone like Aguero, Ronaldo or Silva who are amongst the best players in the world.

We do not want to be stuck with another high earning superstar that underperforms.

It would be fine if he was young and failed to impress or perform, but he is at his peak and as weeks pass he'll slowly start to decline. He is 28 in 4 months. He is not getting any younger.

Do we really need to pay his monstrous wages for him to sit on the bench? It is better to try and earn some money while we still can rather then having him struggle for a couple of years and take the place Sturridge or Lukaku should have and then leave on a free transfer...

I have nothing against the guy and I liked him ever since his Atletico days, and his performances aside, he is still one of the footballers I like regardless of the shirt they are playing with, but the club's interest comes first.

It is up to him now.

I love your ass so much you wouldn't believe it.

I hope I understood that the right way :eyebrows:

You know you did.

Bringing in Luka Modric was vital for the success of Torres. Our failure to do that has led to another miserable six months for Fernando.

If someone offers a cheeky 20-25m pound bid, I can see us taking it this January.

It's always somebody else's fault, never his.

Did I say that? Cunt.

Torres is to blame as well, but bringing in Modric was VITAL for his success.

[manpe 10,861]

having a balanced squad with quality is vital for the whole team, lack of it is probably the cause of our strikers' piss poor form... dunno. and we should remember that Torres's shit form stretches further before he even joined Chelsea, there is something wrong with him too, but we have other strikers in the team who aren't firing either

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Modrić wouldn't make him score that chance against ManU or Blackburn. He also wouldn't stop Torres from running into defenders and losing possesion, he wouldn't make him a better player.

But I do agree that our team would benefit from a player like Modrić.

Couldn't agree more.

I would just like to refrain myself from any of your criticizing posts and say this.

Goodbye El Nino, you were my favourite striker long before you joined Chelsea. I loved you're style, you're flair. Guess now you are a mere shadow of the man you once were. Goodbye forever.

We have to give him minutes if not against City we have to let him play against wigan, he needs to start!

Drogba will leave in the summer(and is 33)and for the African nations cup so we need to get him in form again!

We wont get any money for him so selling is not a option at the moment!

I think he started the season well and will get back to the that if AVB shows more faith in him!
