How did we fail him? We gave him chance after chance after chance, fans kept making excuse after excuse after excuse, he had players more suitable to his game signed for him yet was still crap. Factoring everything in he's the worst player in our history.

Wehave had a few players that also had them same chances that failed to live upto their hype and then they do good at abother club. You know that if/when a manager takes a player under his wing, shows him appreciation, blows smoke up his arse then that player will do much better.

I know that in this day of millionaire kids driving round in high end sports cars that more players now have bigger egoes and weaker characters. I know as professionals they should be able to just get out of bed and be shit hot but it takes much more than just being good at what they do. If a team are happy and enjoy playing together they dont need to cost £100mill to win things.

If those two got the unconditional chances Torres got by the law of averages they would have had a couple of great games/moments.
Factoring in price tag, performances and the sheer negative impact on the club, Torres is unlikely to be trumped for a very very long time.

He earned his chances solely on his past. It didn't go to plan for sure and waste of money looking at it now. However, most will remember him for his goal that paved the way for us to win our CL title in the immediate future.

Morata could certainly trump him, if we are discussing the same things a year from now.

No player got the sheer amount of chances Torres got, he even got unconditional 90 minutes for 6 months and that was after 18 months of being crap. There's giving players a chance then there's what we did for Torres.

I see Bosingwa as the hero of that moment, as he was the one who made the tie saving contribution (funnily enough through a Nando mistake).

[DYC. 7,542]

He was nothing more than a decent player at Monaco. But he was a young player so he automatically possessed 'great potential'.

No redeeming qualities. Had he been some physical beast then okay. But he mostly commits stupid fouls and he plays with the intensity of a Fabregas or Pjanic type player.

No technique as well. Just throw the whole player away. Better players have been sold after a year.

Get a proper midfielder.

As did a last ditch interception that prevented a 2 on 1 vs Cech.

Ah, it wasn’t even a YouTube thing. Bakayoko looks 1/10th the player he was at Monaco unfortunately. Tbh, most of the Monaco players have been pretty underwhelming in a sense (Mbappe, Bakayoko, Bernardo). 

It's hard to believe that it is even the same player (Bakayoko). Bernardo hasn't really been given a proper go yet though has he? From what I have seen of him he has been tidy.

Might be up there largely down to his price tag, but he's certainly not our worst player and shouldn't come into that bracket on performances alone.

 

Boulahrouz & Djilobodji are two that come to mind instead.

 

Don't forget, or rather forget

Bernard Lambourde and Winston Bogarde

Papy played like 1 game for us  Shouldn't even be in discussion, no sample size. He was just a ridiculous signing and that's it.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND KEEN ON TIEMOUE BAKAYOKO

A loan move with Reus coming to Chelsea , i'd be up for the cup for that!

That says enough. He was out of his depth

I know Torres scoring that goal at the Camp Nou was a great moment but I find it ridiculous that the goal has been talked a lot more than Drogba's equalizer in the final or even the fact that Torres won the corner that led to the equalizer!

They all left Monaco last season no? The overall point is that none have had as big as an impact as they were expected to. Obviously Bakayoko has been the most underwhelming by far.

It was because of where it was scored and the predicament we were in.
