We do not need to give away flags...

...for our fans to wave - our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need

Rafa Benitez

That is what you have left behind. Swapped passion for plastic. Enjoy your £200k a week or whatever they are paying you, some things in life are priceless. You have just lost one of those things.

Interesting the reception that was waiting for you. There must have been at least 20 people outside. Wow, and no plastic flags either!!! They must be skint now I guess.

Welcome Andy Carroll. I hear what they are saying, they ask how can you replace Torres. Well one thing you have on your side is that never giving up mentality, unfortunately our last number 9 did like a sulk. Another thing you have is us. Do the business for us, don't let us down, don't let yourself down and believe me, you will never walk alone.

The original quote is from Benitez. From one of the many Cl encounters unless I'm very much mistaken.

So, do you think Torres will think he is a true Champions League winner if the plastic ones actually win it this season?

And surely, if you have played in one European competition during a season for one club, you should not be allowed to play in the other for a different club?

The funny thing is, nobody can touch Barcelona, so even despite chelsea's bye into the next round (Copenhagen), sooner or later they're going to be taught a footballing lesson.

Torres should've gone to Barca, then his desire to win the CL may have sounded like a legitimate excuse

FCK manager Solbakken is a die hard red And on the day, FCK could spring a surprise. Fingers crossed eh?

Fernando Torres will wear the Chelsea number 9 shirt.

The forward, 26, completed his move from Liverpool yesterday and will occupy the previously vacant jersey.

The Spanish World and European champion also wore the shirt at Liverpool, in the World Cup in South Africa and at his previous club Atletico Madrid.

He follows in the footsteps of former Chelsea forwards Kerry Dixon, Roy Bentley, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Peter Osgood.

More chance of Torres coming back to us crying for forgiveness

[Chris]

I cant wait to see him sulk when things start going wrong. And if he thinks Chelsea supporters will support him through it like we did then he'll have a rude awakening.

[Craig_H]

Wonder how he'll feel about being booed off at half time for still being level at 0-0.

Chelsea wont win the Champions League any time soon. Ol Big Ears has proved time and time again that he is not one to be bought. Barca FTW this year.
