Fernando Torres

[meetdoscar 335]

Torres is No.(No) 9. Am tired of making excuses for him and lukaku should return in january. I don't want cavani bcoz I don't trust his ability. Falcao would be nice but he will be too expensive and is already 27 I would want a strong and not yet so popular striker who we can build into our team to replace drogba. Therefore I want seydou dumbia. He is young, strong, skillful and prolific.

Moses can play as a striker for us we should try him there he has the same ability as Doumbia.

True talk . But moses is very vital on the wings for chelsea (Look at the impact he has made as a substitute winger) and is not yet as prolific as dumbia so i guess we need another moses(seydou dumbia) as a striker.

Honestly, I don't think Torres on the whole has been as poor as most people would believe this season. We can mention the lack of profligacy when it comes to the number of goals scored so far, but he has been more involved with the build-up play and passing.

I just feel our style of play just doesn't do him any favors, and for that we'll be much better of with a striker, like Sturridge/Drogba/Anelka, who likes to drop deep, take the ball and distribute it.

Calmed down after a few days, and I've decided to continue to back him. Might as well, he probably won't be here much longer.

Take the goal incidence for example: With 5 mins to go we were desperately looking for a goal, playing the ball from left to right around the box looking for the right ball in. And although I am mightily glad that Cole popped up where he did, I couldn't help but wondering where our lone striker when we needed him most. The answer is that he was some 30m away from goal, not even in the frame of thee camera in any replay.

He was actually inside the penalty box mate.

He's just walking around... hate his lazy attitude...

I think that we don't need another striker.

In case of Torres failure, we still have Sturridge, Moses and Piazon (to backup).

We can also use the false nine. And if we can sell Torres, we will be good for fifa fair play.

Next Year Lukaku will come back. I think our team is good.

[Jase 43,479]

@xPetrCechx, well that's another issue for another day. Was just trying to correct what he said about Torres being far far far away from goal.

[Sheva. 5,373]

I want him to leave so we can stop talking about him.

This. I'm tired of hearing his name and what he can or can't do. Actually came into this thread by mistake, i've been avoiding it for weeks now

[Leif 6,006]

I will honestly and truly treat his eventual departure as-if we signed Messi. Not an exaggeration at all.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He was actually inside the penalty box mate.

My bad. Still he's not even making a run or asking for the ball.

Well, that's another issue but one I'm already used to. Can't be bothered in getting my hopes up, even just a little on Torres anymore.

I'm just happy here, every other Chelsea related forum(I'm even FM at one place), a vast majority keep defending him like some type of religion and he is their blonde deity. Here at least most people when presented with facts don't continue making excuses about him and seem to be more realistic. I swear if RvP didn't score in 24 hours I'd be having a laugh at MU's expense - they actually have had a midfield problem for quite some time yet their strikers hardly struggle on the same scale as Torres.

He scored a great goal against Newcastle a month ago, I say keep believing in him (although it's so frustrating to watch him) until January.
