Sell Drogba and bring in Lewandowski!

Seems more likely Barrios will leave.

True but Lewandowski would be a far better option. I don't believe that we'll buy him but imo he would suit very much in our system and would strenghten our squad pretty much. And at the same time we would have a clear hierarchy which should be positive as well

Perhaps.. But where's the contingency plan if Torres fails to shine?

The contingency plan is to sell him with Drogba this summer.

We all know Drogba is coming to the end of a fantastic career but the worry is Torres is 6 years younger but he ain't playing much better then a washed up Didier we bought for 24 million back in 04. We've had Drogba for 7 full seasons and this is his 8th season at the club. We need Torres to start firing or we're fucked.

Am i the only one that finds the OTT Torres loving cringeworthy?

Yes he is a Chelsea player and while he is i fully support him and hope he gets back to his best, but things like defending even his worst displays while slagging off other players who actually performed better. I was in the MH lower on saturday and we all thought it was Nando that scored with the overhead kick going in off the bar instead of hitting Frank and when Neil announced it was Frank there was groans like the goal was disallowed which was quite frankly embarrising.

I hope we can see the best out of him but here there is not getting away from the fact he has got a long way to go and his "favrotism" treatment he gets while slagging off other players in the process is quite frankly annoying. PS how he has a banner at The Bridge yet Drogba doesn't beats me.

This kid aint gonna shine in Chelsea because we aint a club building a team on one player only. Look at his past

when and why was he a killer in front?. Because he was the only one up there getting served. Here he plays

almost as a wing, and there are many players who want the ball and want to finish, and thats not bad except for

the kid. Now he plays like a build up to goal server and our idiot coach says that is good?, that not El Nino!.

Alot of Benching time and a big ego to compite with, yeah,. the great Drog. I really doubt he can shine here

at CFC, but i have no doubt he aint finished yet, and his next club will see him comeback. We just dont have the play

style and time to get him back on track, and who can blame us?. Except i blame our idiot owner for letting his

desire control his brain function.

This is true. Though something I did note v. Sunderland was his persistence to now get into the box. He was forced wide a few times, but he made more efforts than previous to get into the box so others could turn provider. He also showed natural instinct to go to the far back post and attempt to meet Bosingwa's over hit crosses. Sunderland was good game for him, some basic attributes of a striker returned to him.

Long way to go for him to recapture some of the old form & characteristics, but if he builds on that performance we'll see better work ethics. He cannot afford to do another 1 step forward, 2 step backwards scenario.

Bar a couple of sensatinal season's from Didier (06/07 and 09/10) we haven't really had a on form firing forward since JFH, the trick is everyone's a forward and when we do get a forward on top form like Didier the season before last, we hit a new level (103 goals) with Drogba scoring 27 league goals and 37 in all comps and despite that we still won every match he didn't play.

I would hate the day were our team becomes reliant on one player.

[Kostas 1,468]

I gave up on Torres after today. Will be depressing to read excuses for him from now on.

11 - Fernando Torres has now failed to score in 11 consecutive Premier League appearances, beating his previous worst record of 10 apps (between Jan-Apr 2011). Decline.

Patience is really wearing thin for me now.
