Diego Costa

[CHOULO19 24,332]

no you got me wrong I am talking about some shit tactics of parking the bus. If 10 players are busy in defense how could have scored

No one is blaming Torres for failing to score in those games in particular when Jose went all defensive. It's the easier games where he misses easy chances and gives the ball away often that he most gets criticized for.

That said, I was one of the people who actually defended Torres a lot this season and thought he had a better season than most gave him credit for. Still, no where near good enough to be our first choice striker if we wish to be one of the best teams in Europe..

[Steve 10,227]

Don't forget how well Torres played under Rafa. Torres plays well when you play him well. If you make him play in matches like against atletico in the semis there is hardly anything any striker could do. So there is nothing that some shit like Costa could do in Chelsea. If there is anything Chelsea is lacking it's a creative midfielder like Mata

This happened very rarely.. Please give me a list of games that he played well in because I don't recall many. He has his days where he works hard for the team but he is a striker and a striker is meant to score crucial goals at crucial times. This has happened a handful of times in his three years with us.

Bring on Costa asap!

torres played a total of 2238 minutes for us this season scoring a total of 11 outstanding goals.

he played 90 against ATM where we parked the bus.

in short, he played 2148 minutes of proper football scoring 11 goals, at 195 minutes per goal. what a player!!!! give him an extension plus an additional 200k raise!!!

now now he made a couple of assists if being a good striker means just thinking about yourself and not the club then sure sell him

The only good game Torres had under Jose which mattered is the City game. The rest he is just crap/OK but no where near great. Unless you count scoring 2 taps in against the likes of Schalke as good. Under Rafa he was really on great when playing in the Europa league, in BPL he was terrible most of the time. Again with a couple of good games which can be considered good enough for our club like against Sunderland, Everton but 89% of the time he is not good enough.

Now if anyone still want him here next season they need their heads checked.

and in the city game , he still missed a piss easy chance , that could have cost us.

He only started playing well once he missed that absolute sitter, than he sprung into action.

look i know he has not been good for chelsea but then again chelsea is not his kind of team and sure we should sell him but we all know torres was once and can always become the worlds best striker

[lionsden 4,689]

Who is this Torres fella that you speak of ?

[pWneR 230]

look i know he has not been good for chelsea but then again chelsea is not his kind of team and sure we should sell him but we all know torres was once and can always become the worlds best striker

Again with this. And what kind of team does suit him? We changed managers and play styles, and guess what, he sucked every single time.

you should have gone to spec savers

oohhhhh!!!

fine then,

torres - 2238 minutes, 11 goals, 6 assists = 131 minutes per a goal or assist.

etoo - 2707 minutes, 14 goals, 7 assists = 128 minutes per goal or assist

BA - 884 minutes, 8goals, 3 assists = 80 minutes per goal or assist

lukaku - 2801 minutes, 16 goals, 8 assists = 116 minutes per goal and assists.

etoo is a proper link up center forward. the difference was there to be seen when etoo played for us (a fit etoo, that is).

ba is a goal scorer, and that is what this proves.

what is torres??? his stats say he sucks!!! his performances are horrendous match after match.

also, we want to sell him but no one wants to buy a 200kper week costing piece of @#$%.

Euh......well.......euhm, no....he can't.

[pWneR 230]

With proper striker coming I just hope that Jose will drop ladyboy to reserves.

And when is that premier league B starting? He might be worthy of bench warming for Chelsea B team untill his contract expires.

Yup, i wondered when Costa's thread would become Torres-infected. It took longer than i predicted though.

We're expected to sign Costa by Tuesday according to Sky Sports.

Tuesday is fast approaching...

I came here hoping I'd see development. Finding Torres talk. Ban the mate's name, so we can move on.

[The Rising Sun 709]

I cannot believe no one got suspended or banned after reading the last 3 pages.

We read time and again from the mods regarding Thread Derailing, and that was 3 pages of Torres this Roman that, demba this eto that.

That, followed by the cheapshots and bickering.

I know we all are anxious and missing the PL, but guys lets please keep the Torres fighting in the Torres thread, and the Roman stuff in the Roman Abramovich thread.

This is the Costa thread.

I came here to read updates from "journalists" from twitter and their claims, but instead had to go through that.
