I think, based on the huge pile of evidence, Torres should either be:
a) Sold for peanuts and have his wages subsidised if needs be.
b) Released on a free, pay off the contract and just be done with it.
c) Left to languish in the reserves until January without so much as a sniff at the first team, in the hope that he gets so frustrated he asks to leave.
Of course, on his wages he may well opt to languish comfortably until his contract expires - the next Winston Bogarde!
But IMHO, any of these solutions is better than him playing another second in the first team. Paying him £175,000 a week to stay away = money well spent!
Pecking order:
1) Costa
2) Lukaku
3) Drogba
4) Bamford
.....
7,000,000,000) Torres (and even then, only if the opposition forfeits the match)
