He's not been too gracious about it all on Twitter... Good riddance. 

Worst player I have seen play for the club in my twenty years watching Chelsea. 

It's amazing the praise he got in here for delivering some of the most embarrassing touches I have ever witnessed in a Chelsea shirt.

What a disappointment of a signing this turned out to be. 

He was too lightweight for the PL, but the bigger problem turned out to be his apparent unwillingness to adapt. 

There's no point in a player having every trick in the book if he just isn't interested. 

Contrast Moses - clearly a less talented player, but willing to do a job off the bench when called upon.  

Not that I even saw any evidence of his supposed talent here either, he could barely run without the ball without falling over.

At least Torres left me with a few good memories, e.g. that night at NouCamp, that vital corner he won at the CL final.. I don't even remember Cuadrado touching the ball without falling down.

I think he won a penalty once. That's about it.

Ironic that his main contribution involved falling over.

See that's the thing, for Fiorentina he was an excellent dribber and had fairly good ball control. 

I wonder how many of problems came from nerves and an apparent inability to adapt to the PL?

Scored 1 too, I'm sure it did happen

 

Glad both of them are history now, but at least I could say I have a few fond memories of Torres, nothing of Cuadrado.

We should adopt a policy of not loaning out these players who have no future in the squad to the same team two years in a row, it's like going into a newsagents and reading the whole f**king magazine without buying it.

More accurately, it's like picking up the Sun, realising that Page 3 is missing and putting it back on the shelf for some other poor bar steward to buy
