I am not going to another game until Torres gets the f**k out of here - another inept performance he is fast becoming an embarrisment.

Ba should walk into this side, leaving Mata out will cost Rafa his job.

Benetiz was the Ranieri tinker man at Liverpool, when he dropped Torres it back fired - picking him this time around will cost us 4th place.

Torres cash bought Liverpool Suarez they must be pissing themselves.

This bloke is the worst signing in our history - I have never booed a Chelsea player in my life but this scouse tosser is doin my head in.

Pathetic tonight. Beyond pathetic.

 

Before anyone pipes up and says we all played badly, sorry I am tired of that lame excuse.

 

Name the player that singularly fails to do his job in the way Torres does.

 

Every time he dribbles, he loses the ball. His control and touch are atrocious.

 

His movement, shocking.

 

His attitude, disgusting, for he lacks any fight.

 

He is not a Chelsea player, not by any stretch.

 

Oscar, Moses, Marin, Hazard .. They all had their moments, but they have no striker ahead of them.

 

Imagine if Sturridge or Lukaku had been on that field .. It couldn't have been any worse.

 

It would have been a hell of a lot better.

 

There was a moment in the second-half, when Oscar produced a wonderful bit of skill on the touchline and delivered a terrific cross.

 

It was asking for Torres to attack the ball and head it home.

 

He was standing unmarked in front of the goal, but he was on his heels, as usual, and didn't move.

 

Get rid of this joker now.

 

Give him away for free.

 

He's useless.

Please we are all fed up of his inconsistency but don't try and tell me bent is a better player than torres!

 

Inconsistency?  Inconsistency? I think he's been consistent.  Consistently sh*te.  Consistently laughable.  Consistently invisible.   You can say many things about that useless sack of sh*te we play up front but it would be an injustice to say he isn't consistent.

 

Darren Bent has always been a better player.  Said it when Torres signed and the only thing that's changed is Torres has got worse.

Send the wrong striker to Liverpool, paying 175k p/w for Torres, missing out on Kun, Falcao because of the passenger; picking him ahead of Lukaku and Sturridge; offloaded Drogba, Anelka and Kalou; signed all the young attacking talent we can possibly dream off; 50 million down the drain. 

 

Our Board is a bunch of muppets

He scores every game though.

 

 

No he does not. He's having a good run against average opposition, let's not get carried away just yet.

 

You are coming dangerously close to claiming he is back.

 

 

I think he is- to be honest.

 

 

Ok well now you have just cursed it now. Watch as he goes on another 10 hours without a goal, i hope you're proud of yourself :biggrin:

 

A conversation that happened on the 23rd of December :face_palm:  My ass he is back, he is finished, and watch as he goes another 10 hours without a goal. He's almost half way there already.

Please we are all fed up of his inconsistency but don't try and tell me bent is a better player than torres!

But he is... Torres may have been better in 2008, but on current form (and the form he's shown since coming to Chelsea) there is no way he's better than Bent.

Torrid ... the worst signing in premiership history !!!

 

He now needs to be forced out by us, the fans ... he's held this Team back long enough ...

 

I'm sick to death of the site of him ...

Please we are all fed up of his inconsistency but don't try and tell me bent is a better player than torres!

 

I'm sorry, what? I would take anyone leading the line. Really, any PL striker.

But he is... Torres may have been better in 2008, but on current form (and the form he's shown since coming to Chelsea) there is no way he's better than Bent.

Look, I don't want to get in some pointless debate at this point in time about who is better out of bent and torres ffs! I have my opinion you have yours. Right now I couldn't give a flying f**k and all I want is a top striker ( like ba) to come in and play better than torres currently is!

Why do people keep saying Ba is a top striker?  He is a very good striker but ffs people talk about him like he is the second coming of the brazilan Ronaldo.  He's better than what we currently have (Then again, so am i)  but Ba is not the man who will lead us to the title anytime soon.

Why isn't he? He has never led the line for a top club with the players we have before so how are you so sure of this? He has scored a hell of a lot of goals for a weak newcastle side so the only way to find out if he is good enough is by giving him a chance!

People actually believe Torreswill be dropped in favour of Ba?

RDM was sacked because of Torres and his disgusting attitude!!!

We got rid of Didier to give him the # 1 striker tag and he has done f**k all. He does everything a striker shouldn't do - cant score important goals, can't link up play and can't f**king pass.

He will play and Ba will be deployed out wide!!

The sooner Torres and FSW are gone our club will be better!

We should do absolutely anything to offload him in this January window.

 

No exceptions.

 

Get him moved on for nothing if need be, just off the wage bill would be an immense result.

Can people stop saying ba will not play ahead of torres! The whole reason we are signing him is to take the workload of torres. He will get his chances and he will take them whihc will make him the number 1 striker at the club!

He could be a top striker, but until he has proven himself at a big club he isn't.  Playing for Newcastle and playing for Chelsea are different kettles of fish, here he is going to play a lot of games (If FSW) gives him the chances were he will be playing against a team willing to put everyone behind the ball. Hopefully he can adapt and still score the goals.

 

I'm still looking forward to him coming though, he is much more of a threat than Torres.

Its nice to see majority have noe given up with him, I have up halfway through last season.

Hes a passenger, Its basically making our season fall apart 2 years on the bounce now as when none of the attacking players are having a good day, we cant rely on our striker to nick a goal.

The club need to realise this now surely, Yet they will still be 12 months too late even if they do.

If Demba Ba comes to Chelsea and he's 2nd choice I will be APALLED. The premier league top scorer being benched for the prima donna.
