It is sad to see Torres struggling with his confidence. He tries so hard. Moving from a bitter rival with his pricetag did it. I'm confident if he moved back to Spain to Atletico for example with little fuss he'd get 20-25 for them.

I don't hate Torres and as long as he wears the blue I support him BUT he doesn't fit the surroundings and never will. Find him a way out, please Chelsea. If we want to win anything we need Ba and a guy with lot less baggage.

It's so painful watching him again and again he is so short on confidence it is unreal. It's never coming back at Chelsea all the options have been exhausted for him. But I wish it could of been different he was another class when he played against us just cant do it for us.

The club has done everything to accommodate him, but its just not worked.. time to see out the season and sell him off.

Edited.

Would be happy enough with that!

Ha, what happens if they stick with him??

He will become useful again. Opposing defenders will be overcome with laughter when he runs at them and will fall over like that Monty Python war joke, enabling us to score lots of goals.

 I dont agree that the " main  " cause is a  lack of strikers. i believe the main cause is a mixture of the following (mostly in equal measure)

 

1)complacency against "smaller" teams

2) pedestrian build up play

3) playing square pegs in round holes - ala Lampard and Ramires as our main CM pairing

4) lack of midfield depth - In hindsight we should not have let essien / mary ellis / KDB go

5) defensive mistakes - generally poor defending

6) Torres being generally poor  - alongwith a lack of options

7) managerial upheaval

8) trying to re-invent the way we play, our style of play and integrating several new players in a very short space of time. At times this has made us look like the team has no identity, and we look short of creative ideas when trying to break teams down.

9) All of the above contributing to players in poor form. Cahill/Ivan/Luiz/ Rambo/Hazard/ Oscar / Moses /torres have all gone through periods of unreliabilty and poor form. Only Mata and lamps (since his return form injury) have shown any sort of consistancy.

10) To many games / too small squad. 

i agree that these are all major problems at the club. however with our very poor striking quality it was always going to be impossible to compete on any front. take the league we are 16 points behind man u, yet i feel its fair to say our keeper is better, defences are even and we have a stronger midfield in general. sorry to keep using man u as comparison but if you took individually one of these problems and gave it to man u which one would effect their league position most. i would suggest that with torres as their main striker they would at least 15 points worse off and seriously struggling with top 4.

It's got to the stage I think he does it on purpose. When he is not missing sitters he breaks up our play In and around the area. He is getting game time so we get best value In the summer, hence why FSW bigs him up. Are potential buyers that naieve you ask well we were.

The board has made some shocking calls this season but their persistence with Torres has to cap it all.

It's now blatantly obvious he doesn't want to be here anymore, send him back to Altheltico Madrid where he can learn to love his game once again. I really hate seeing performers whether they're sportsmen or comedians crash and burn, enough is enough... Torres needs to go home.

He's so terrible it hurts.

Was that his second game running where he actually tackled one of his own team mates?

He needs to go and I think he will want to go.
 

We need a top class striker to come in as Ba can't do it alone, we will need to be very astute in the summer regarding our strikers.

Maybe Lukaku will be that guy and I'll be more than happy if he is given the chance to jostle with Ba for a starting place.

 

I actually pity him now, I know people will say he's earning top dollar etc, but I really  do  feel sorry for him...

 

Ha, what happens if they stick with him??

we're f*cked!

It's best for both player and club that he leaves in the Summer, but what club is going to buy him?

He's on massive wages and surely the club is looking for a decent fee. I'm almost hoping QPR stay up and Redknapp persuades Fernandez to break their piggy bank for him.

I can seriously see him staying, a pet project Roman might not want to finish with, plus i've heard he wouldn't want to be the one to bring an end to this ongoing, must see thread. ;-)

Next excuse for Torres: Mourinho will make him good again when he comes...

Do you think Torres was worth 50million ? I'm interested in people's opinion I think even just for the goal against Barcelona and the corner he won for drogbas equaliser against bayern had to be worth it . Let me know what you think

Yes I'm serious I know he's not actually worth 50 million but he did play a part even though very small to help win the CL - on paper Torres holds all the silver wear World cup, Euros, CL, Fa cup

Jose is the one manager who could actually boost his confidence but I hope we are able to sell him and bring in Jose.
