Dont get me wrong, I wish he would go too, that much is obvious.... but I understand why he wouldn't go. He has a guaranteed contract for a huge amount, wont get it anywhere else now that he is utterly useless.

Its easy to think that if you were in his position you'd have so much pride that you'd move on. Maybe if he was younger yes he'd want to do that. Truth is, at his age, having won pretty much everything there is to win, he's probably happy to coast along, raking in a fortune in the twilight years.

CFC,

No, I do not detest. How can I hate someone I do not even know. I just feel, he is a detestable chap. His attitude, just look at him sitting on the bench motionless, shows no happiness when the team scores, just there for the money, I feel.

Sorry but you've contradicted yourself there.

1905, how is that?

I say it quite fair that Chelsea pay the 16 million that Torres has ask for if you want him to leave

Why should Chelsea pay up front 16m now? Lol.

Jose should have him train with the team, but play him in some Carling Cup games only. Most likely, that is leading to happen anyway.

I agree.

 

Fact is Torres isn't worthy of a place in our 1st team squad in important games (Prem, CL, domestic cup quarter/semi/final), I'd rather do as we have done starting with Costa, bringing on Drogba if needed. If Torres wants to sit and pick up his wages and not look to redeem himself elsewhere then that is his call, he can play our league cup/lower round FA Cup games and leave when his contract is up. I don't dislike the guy, but he isn't doing anyone or himself any favours, only his bank account.

Struggling to believe that AC Milan are genuinely interested in him. It just doesnt make any sense. Twitter is going bananas with AC Milan fans venting their dissatisfaction at this proposed deal. It's universally accepted that he is finished as a top level striker. Just wish we would take the hit and pay him out.

 

Obviously surplus to requirements and will be used sparingly, as someone else mentioned... capital one cup games, possibly early round FA cup matches and even CL group stage games if we get drawn against some sort of minnow, like celtic

Right,

As I posted, I do not hate him, I just have no respect for him. What is he going to leave behind when he finally hits the road? If he were to let down his wage, sign for another team, at least people might forgive him. Simply let him sit on the bench.

I am getting slightly moist

That being said, I don't want him to leave. I want him to stay and score 30 goals this season. It won't happen in a million years. I don't want a player poisoning the squad and if he can't be the professional we all want to see then he shouldn't be around any of our teams. Any professional footballer who thinks, regardless of a contract, taking home £10 million a year whilst doing diddly squat is acceptable, is a bad influence on others in the squad. I've heard that AC Milan have asked us to pay them £5million, anyone fancy a whip around?

This guy has been getting alot right recently

A bad news boys. Apparently, Borini out of Liverpool is going to Milan on loan. Stuck with Torres, I must say.

dont see why theyd loan him when they can get 14m right now for him

Getting more excited about this rumour than I did about any Destro swap or Atletico return... Probably shouldn't though.

I wonder if it would push him over the edge if we managed to bring in another striker and Jose made it clear he was then fourth choice? still wouldn't surprise me if Roman and the board still somehow want him here, although I can't fathom what the reasoning could be.

The origin is on Chelsea news. Milan is more well off to loan Borini that Torres. Much cheaper, I presume.

boy there are some real torres haters on this forum. any one would think he was a bad as say andy carrol or darren bent. jesus christ 

torres is going nowhere, those are the facts! you are stuck with him. at least he trys when he plays.

Put Bamford on the bench so the message really sinks in.

He has gone on loan to Middlesbrough hasn't he? Or going on loan.

Torres tries...? Yes, he has done for a brace of years. To try hard is well read, though. Notwithstanding, this club needs goals to win games.

God this feels like the old days with Salomon Kalou when he just wouldn't leave, I had nightmares that Kalou once came off the bench with a walking stick, I wonder if I'll have the same about Torres by the end of the season.

Torres does not try, that's a lie, his movement is absolutely rubbish, he never gets himself in the right positions he never fights for the ball in the box that's why the defender is always first to it.

 

Demba Ba may not have been a great footballer but he used to feed off scraps and scored a few jammy goals from the other defenders, two of them where notably against spurs and two of them where in his debut game.
