Not completely daft idea, if you look at Jose comments last few matches about not killing the opposition, and the facts of lack of PL goals from any of the 3

Last summer scouse were nibbling apparently when Suarez uncertain but that's sorted

He's brazilian so plenty support in the club

Torres back to where he started, so that fits nice and gives club a neat outlet for the enigma that is feral do

Oh and he has 19 LaLiga goals this season - yes 19!

And last of all, Athletico saying he is staying - so that's a big clue hell go if price is right

Not impossible

That's the equivalent to some bloke giving me his Ferrari in return for my Corsa, because his 1st car was a Corsa. 

 

Why on earth would they want Torres? He's sh*t. 

 

I don't get it.

Swapping Costa for Torres,i can see what we get out of it but what do Ath Madrid get?

what do Ath Madrid get?

 

A parachute payment for being relegated.

 

Very clever those Spaniards.

Im f**king sick of these types of threads

 

Surely there should be f**king rumours in the rumours thread, not hopes and dreams of some daft c**t

Couldn't agree more.

Too many bad threads will ruin the forum.

We only need one Torres thread, two at a push with one in the main section to discuss performances and a second in rumours for junk like this.

The above poster's analogy about a Ferrari and Corsa is bang on.

I thought it was some sort of Coffee Voucher scheme where we dumped torres and they gave out free cappuccino at the Bridge. Ohwell my quest for coffee alongside Joses quest for a CF continues.

Why don't we try the same thing with Romeu in a swap deal for Messi? I mean we used to have Veron who was Argentinian and Romeu started off at Barca! Nailed on

Well,what a treat getting slagged off by the above posters - what is wrong exactly with suggestion that;

1. Our strikers arnt doing their jobs well enough

2. We need a new striker who scores lots goals

3. We buy that striker maybe partial swap for torres who started at Athletico, surely not that daft an idea

Anyway perhaps 'LANE' can direct me to one of his posts so I can give him a view on that

Having one marathon post isn't the best way to get different points over in my view by the way

Cheers

Don't listen to those slaggers, ws6. You make valid points that haven't been properly addressed here. Everyone here is far too forgiving of our strikers and basically giving Torres a free pass. Bunch of Torres fanboys if you ask me. Besides, I think Torres would gladly take any pay-cut if it meant returning to his old club. Shed enders won't man up and admit we need a new striker; they've got the blinders on with this issue. You've brought some sense to this senseless place.

Torres is worth £10m max, Costa is £40m absolute minimum. Why would they want to swap?

Not sure that is true. Plenty of us recognise the need for a new striker. Lukaku plus a new striker next season, preferably the new one in January.

Every Chelsea fan knows that we need a new striker but be honest with yourself, why the hell would this happen? And often do these proposed "swap deals" really happen? I can think of about 3 where a player has been thrown in as part of a deal.

I doubt this is likely to happen but there have been plenty of swap deals in the past. Galas/cole, matic/Luiz, ibra/Eto'o just to name a few notable ones. I think we will see more now as well as it would appear to benefit clubs FFP.

Not sure I buy into the Costa hype myself. He seems to have a bit of a golden touch right now, but I think when you start talking about buying players who have had half a good season over their whole career it worries me (for every Drogba there are many that don't live up to the hype).

 

He's also reasonably limited beyond his finishing. Certainly he has no better touch than Lukaku and his movement arguably isn't as good. In a league where defences are much tighter I feel he wouldn't really be an improvement worth paying for.

 

Also it's interesting the story has been Courtois for Costa rather than Torres. No chance of that happening, or realistically of them agreeing to a swap for Torres (although I do think Torres would return to goal scoring form in Spain It's also not the most ridiculous idea that he might end up back at Atletico)

 

On a separate note I'm not sure the abuse that ws6 got was necessary. He's always been a solid poster in my time here. But from a practical point of view, perhaps we could have a 'scouting thread', they exist in plenty of other forums, where these sort of random wishes/ here's a player I like sort of bits can be posted without bothering Lane et al. who find them annoying. Just a thought.

I said a while ago swaps will happen a lot more if ffp ever gets fully implemented, though I don't see that ever actually happening. I also think contracts will get much shorter, 2 year ones becoming the norm.

Only swap deal I can see happening with Atletico Madrid is for Courtois. I remember seeing their second goalkeeper make some horrible mistakes against Rubin Kazan in EL 2012/13 season and Simone probably learned the value of having a great goalkeeper. The Rumours I have seen posted recently is Courtois for either Koke or Diego Costa, wich I wouldn't have considered, unless we got both and we could offload Torres in return :)
