Fernando Torres

[Blue Armour 4,436]

No the reaction to the Tottenham game was out overstated, if Sir Frank had setup two glorious chances; missed a sitter; got send off and his mistake had lead to a Tottenham's goal he would never get voted MOTM by 117 votes on this site or have people talking about what a glorious 20 minutes he had.

Torres gets judged by different standards - what he should be judged on is goals and he is a Championship level striker if he is judged on those. So people choose to judge on his blond hair; how hard he works; how he cares etc

Well that was an over-reaction too, but you can't blame people for being optimistic (its more natural than being pessimistic for most) after nearly two seasons of no-show from Torres.

And yes, the problem is people over-react. be it praise or criticism.

What can I say about Ferda that was not already said here ?

The team does not provide him with chances, I read above ? LOL.

How many does he need to score one goal, then ? No matter what we say here, one thing we all should admit Ferda is shot. His sporadic scoring, won´t convince me, he is back, sorry.

What to do, then ? Should Jose play him & hope Ferda will pop one in ? It´s a joke, has been for two years.

Jose and Torres have been part of the same of team only for a few months.

But yes, Jose doesn't have to wait for Torres to score. If he doesn't keep up his early season standards, he should be dropped.

Monaco have slapped an 80m price tag on Falcao, I read.

However, they would part with Falcao under their original value if Torres or BA were included as part of the deal.

Then, I say. What are they waiting for ?

Start packing.

Torres + 50 million for Falcao - yes please!

I predict he will go on a couple of runs, miss 2 guilt edged chances and get 200 votes for MOTM because he skinned Wilson once.

Not singling him out for blame but no matter how better he looks this season and the talk of him contributing more to the team, yes that is all good but 1 PL goal from him is absolutely ridiculous considering he has started quite a few this season and that goal he scored was as fortunate as you can get but he was exceptional that game against City and warranted a goal no matter how much luck was involved but he is still missing chances handed on a plate to him and it is still Jekyll and Hyde with him. You are unsure which Torres is going to turn up.

He seem to have gone back into his hibernation. Missing chances that comes his way, looks slow and immobile as well as giving that disinterested feel again judging by the body language.

We need to revive the strikers issue come summer, with players coming in Jan to help the defence and midfeild. Torres and Ba out, Lukaku and Falcoa/Martinez/other option to replace them - i don't see Eto'o staying past this season.

[Henrique 9,133]

Lets give up. This is Torres. Ancelotti, RDM, Benitez, Mourinho...the same old story. Can produce 2 or 3 great games, then a shadow of a striker for the rest of the season.

And I doubt anyone want him to stay past this season either.

Agreed, Ancelotti, Benitez, AVB, Jose. 4 top class managers right there(2nd and 3rd are debatable but certainly in good bracket no matter how much you hate them) and none could do it, it is not a coincidence.

JUST SELL HIM... For once and for all!

Maybe Maybe... Exchange...

for what another "DEAD DONKEY" tho there might be some dumb owner out there

[Tomo 21,751]

He should have left on a relative high at the end of last season when he scores vs Benfica and Everton to help achieve our goals (Trophy and 3rd).

Oh well, with two strikers coming in next summer (one being Lukaku of course) at worst he will be numero tres next season.
