Fernando Torres

Its amazing how a debate can be stirred for a player who did not even play for a second.

It did however mean that Eto started, scored and that Ba came on and scored aswell..

Plus we're not discussing Torres' in a general sense aswell.

I dont blame all of our problems on Torres. I simply highlight why he's bad and express my opinion around that.

You give him the dogs' abuse constantly and repeat the same shit over and over again. Suggesting it's a blessing that he got injured when he started the last game and did well is pathetic.

Simply put, he's not showing me anything to make me think or feel otherwise. I simply want him gone and I dont enjoy seeing him play. And it strikes me you feel otherwise.

Inter want him, please sent him over there..

To be fair...from a certain perspective, Torres getting injured was a good thing for Eto'o and PARTICULARLY Ba.

Delighted to see Ba hasn't lost his finishing skills...he deserves a bit more game-time against sides that don't park the bus

I'd be delighted if we could sell him to Inter for the reported fee and it frustrates me that he's not the player he was before we signed him, but I don't think that's a choice he made. He's been remarkably unlucky with injuries this season as well but he's put in some good shifts and contributed to our position in the league with key goals.

Against 10 men....and all he needs is for a midfielder who is playing in defence to slip over and a right-back playing in midfield to head the ball 30 yards back to him.

Ba got 2 gifts today and he happily accepted them...like any decent striker should

This guy has to have the most rotten luck in the world

Such as winning 2 Euros, CL, numerous cups and world cup despite doing fk all in most of those triumphs? Oh and also being in top 10 richest player in the world too, agreed.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Typical Torres-excuses. "he works hard". If u can ask no more than obviousley you have no high hopes nor demands of Chelsea players.

It was a blessing because Torres is pathetic to watch on the pitch and both our other strikers had a terrific game. Simple as.

So who shall we play up front, Falcao or Cavani? Oh sorry, forgot our other options are Ba and Eto'o, my mistake.

That's 2 more euros and 1 more world cup than Messi.

Yep just shows how lucky he is despite not even 2% as good. What is there to feel sorry for?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I can't really see Messi winning too many European Championships though, in all fairness, as good as Argentina are...

Much better than Torres.

One thing we can never take away from Torres, is how good he was at his peak, its a shame his career was runined by tht knee injury he had before the world cup otherwise he was up there with the messi and ronaldo, I used to despise him for tht when he was still at liverpool

It just shows how biased u are, torres at his peak was at par with the messi's of the world, he was probably the best striker in the world before that injury he had in 2009, one thing we can never take away from torres even thgh his terrible now is tht he was really good in 2008 he was only beaten to the Ballorn Dor because Ronaldo won the champ league, but any rational fan could see his talent, thts why we hated the dude whilst he was still at liverpool, and that is why we didnt hesitate to pay 50 million for him because he was that good.

[The Skipper 20,593]

in 2008 he was only beaten to the Ballorn Dor because Ronaldo won the champ league,

Don't have to make up stuff, no one was beating Ronaldo that year. Even if he didn't win the CL he was still the best in the world.

Torres finished 3rd in the Ballon d'Or behind Messi and Ronaldo that year, so it wasn't as close as you're making it to be, and Messi was not as good, similarly with Ronaldo, as he is right now.

He was definitely the best striker in the world back then but Torres at his peak was not as special as Messi or Ronaldo are right now. Those two are being talked of as being the best players ever, peak Fernando Torres is not up for that discussion sorry.
