Fernando Torres

No, we had no budget to buy a replacement for Torres. I agree that buying him was a huge mistake, but we had other priorities this summer. Would you be willing to lose Hazard and Oscar to another team to buy a 50mi striker?

Eh? Think you misunderstood what I said originally.

Hes so bad I'd rather us play John Terry as a false 9.

Seconded.

You're being too kind Ryan. I would rather have Turnbull playing as the 'False 9'...

I remember making a thread of how torres makes things complicated by not movin, but I was slayed by a few that his movement creates space for mata and hazard, and I'm like they can't be serious. He makes runs everywhere else but in the box(when its the most important.). When we all finally realised it was that goal sturridge scored instead of torres against totenham.

Out torres, in falcao

We need a vanpersie(match winner) and not another kalou.

In all honesty, its disrespectful to compare our very own Salomon to this piece of crap...Kalou scored MANY MATCH WINNERS for us in his time here...And say whatever you want about Salomon's ability, but he played like he cared if we win or loose he just wasnt good enough most times, he is not our highest scoring substitute ever for nothing...I have said it before, nando doesnt give a shit if we win or loose and will always be a scouser in my eyes who cared more about scoring against us that he does scoring for us.....

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, dont soil the legendary legacy of King Kalou , by comparing him with this sulking dumb blonde b****......Never ever forget this

I understood you said we look idiotic by only sticking with him. I said that we had no other option since Hazard and Oscar were our priorrity...

If that was not what you meant, I`m sorry.

NOOOOOO!

JT would score 1 goal per game but we would allow 2-3.

Courtois is big enough to be a striker

My bad. You were spot on there, well almost.

Though my main point is that I can't be bothered what others think of us when getting rid of Torres. And even if we may not have enough budget to buy his replacement, I'm sure we could have forked a small figure to buy another striker back in the summer. It doesn't necessarily have to be a big name. Makes no difference now anyway since we look like getting another striker with a big price tag.

I remember Mo tried that a couple of times.

I 100% agree.

It just looks to me Roman had something like this: Summer - "We have already spent too much, I talked to Torres and with this world class players he will score many goals"; November - "WTF!!!, how did we not get Falcao in the summer? I am calling my bank manager right now to withdraw 50mi." LOL

If anyone has seen Karate Kid 2 then you will understand how much I mean it when I say, 'Nando, You are dead to me' !!!!

Did he really?! I have no recollection of that...

I apologize for the error. Forgot kalou at least had passion for the club.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Yeah, 2006 if I remember correctly. A couple of matches where we needed goals in the last 10 mins or so, he brought on a defender and stuck JT up front. Didn't work so he stopped trying it.

Sad, but Andy Caroll would do better job than Torres...
