Fernando Torres

[Muddled]

Has Richard Sadlier had a £50m price-tag over his head, whilst being considered one of the best strikers in the world?

I'm not that fussed what Torres does these days, but for some Millwall striker (yup, I googled his name) to try and relate to his mentality is short of the mark.

I had a a dry spell for the Ring O' Bells, perhaps I should have seeked out a sports pscyhologist too.

Chelsea are in a right pickle now.

I can't see Torres ever coming good for them so they need to cut their losses.

However no team is going to stump up £20m for him - it's too much of a gamble. Plus he'll want incredible wages too.

So in the summer do they take £10-15m and pay up his contract? Or do they keep him in the hope that he'll come good?

Yup, bit of a pickle that one. Oh well.

I think they will offer him in part exchange for someone, it's their only real option (Falcao at Atletico has been mentioned a few times).

Yeah but Atleti would want Torres + money wouldn't they.

Quite remarkable how much this will cost Chelsea in the long run.

Yeah they would, but it would be much less embarrassing than just selling him for £5m as no-one will really know how much he was valued at in the part exchance deal

You reckon they'd get as much as £5m?

I mentioned that very ealry in this thread.....He just cant hack it, i never did get to go to dinner with Chelsea's head medical guy, but he normally makes it up here for the summer so sure I will get an update on Torres's head

[Vermilion]

He has now gone 1,431 minutes without a goal, just nine minutes short of 24 hours.

Wow, so the phrase.....'He could play all day and he still wouldn't score', will literally apply to Fernando Torres.

It is absolutely incredible the difference in him since leaving us, a quite remarkable fall from grace.

Maybe I guess it depends on which clubs (if any ) are interested

The sad thing though is that it hasn't and will never be Torres who loses out financially. Chelsea has been a great earner for him

[Lee]

Yup.

Only in the world of football can you be completely ****ing ****e and get a handsome reward for it.
