Heard a strong rumour from the stewards room that Torres will not be in today's squad and is flying to Milan early tomorrow with Remy agreeing a deal worth 8.5 million to QPR.

Well part 1 of the rumour is looking good dawes. Here's to hoping the steward has heard right.

If this happens this forum might have nothing to complain about for the first time ever.

Mikel would still be here.

Oh don't worry, we'll find something.

For now, I'm sceptical about any rumour involving Torres leaving.

If Remy couldn't pass a medical with us in 2012 and then Liverpool a few weeks ago what chance does he have now?

Well Redknapp said he was fine and he couldn't understand how he failed his medical. Personally i think Remy had a change of heart and rejected Liverpool, Liverpool just won't say because they don't want the news to get out that a player rejected them.

If that were the case why wouldn't Remy have just come out and say so, rather than accept the knock to his reputation the medical rumours have caused?

It is surprising thay Torres hasn't made an appearance yet. That tells me something might be happening.

Not keen on Remy though. I can see he's an above average striker but he seems like another journeyman.

To be honest I would prefer Wellbeck, homegrown and able to play up top or track back wide as in his England role.

Tbh if we can get rid of Torres I wouldn't care what striker we got

Maybe its my anti unitedness but I really don't rate him. Never really done anything to warrant all the hype about him. I guess he's just got the right passport.

Welbeck is useless. The guy almost trips over every time he gets the ball. Remy can at least kick a football properly.

He also plays badly in that role, like he plays badly in every other role and position.

I would sacrifice my first born to the gods if it meant Torres left us this summer

Are you kidding? Welbeck is toilet. He belongs at a club like Swansea or West Brom. That's his level. His finishing is absolutely dreadful.

He says he isn't going..according to the DM.

His record when playing as a striker is actually really good. 

33 goals in 139 games for Man Utd. Not a particularly good record. One goal every 4.2 games.

Welbeck is sh*t

Welbeck is useless. The guy almost trips over every time he gets the ball.

So did Demba Ba, but at least Demba managed to quite often find the back of the net as he tripped or fell over. I still think it was a mistake to let him go to be honest. He scored some very important goals for us and as far as I can see, never complained. I would have been quite happy to see him stay as back-up.

 

Forget Welbeck, Bran has got off to a flying start this season and ridiculous though this may sound, I think he could step in to perform a role further forward this season as and when needed. That would also enable Azpi and Felipe Luis to slot into their natural positions at left and right back.

Torres is staying, your sources are wrong, so says the special one: http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2014/8/23/6060257/fernando-torres-will-stay-jose-mourinho-chelsea-fc-transfer-news 

I wasn't even holding my breath. We are stuck with him.

Just thinking about the strikers we've lost or couldn't sign because of him depresses me.

Guess I should point out that Jose says Torres will get more game time by scoring more goals than the main striker. So Torres is not getting game time then lol

He's better than Torres and helps us with the homegrown situation that's my point.
