Fernando Torres

[RedReet]

I'd take Momo and Dirk back, even if they didn't make the first team.

Has anyone else noticed how he's really changed his game? He doesn't look like a lethal finisher anymore, He holds the ball up and plays others in.

His hold up play is excellent too, he looks like he's put a lot of muscle on since he left us. I think that could be part of the reason why he has been injury free.

I think you exaggerate the change but he has certainly adapted his game. The changes suit the new look Chelsea and he's scoring regularly again.

Arbeloa and Mascherano too. They're top class players - there's a reason they're regulars for the two strongest clubs in world football.

NEVER accept him back. refusing to play for the club to force a move was beyond the line. at least torres didnt do that.

I don't think we know that's true though do we.

Plus he dedicated his CL win in 2011 to us. I have no bad feelings towards Mascherano.

[kev776]

I have no bad feelings to any ex-player apart from Owen.

****, I'd have our era Benayoun back as well. Big game player.

As for the Mascherano thing, all I can think is "**** Hodgson, I want to play for Pep Guardiola"

[Maxiedge]

Mascherano dedicated the Barca champs league win to Liverpool. Legend

Tony Barrett once tweeted that there was two sides to that story. Anyway other than that game, Mascherano gave his everything when he stepped on the pitch. In this day and age I don't think we can ask more than that.

Judging by the way the two clubs have gone since he left it is hard to blame him in hindsight for wanting the move.

As much as we loved Torres, one of the main issues with him was that he mopped and sulked around for 6 months before the move. He was brilliant in flashes but was a shadow of the striker he was in the meantime.

Absolutely spot on. Mascherano was my favourite player when he wore the red shirt for all the reasons you've just given. I would love to have him back, way more than Torres.

Masher was promised he would be allowed leave if he gave us one last season. He did that then expected to be sold in the summer the hodge was appointed. He thought that promise was being reneged on thats why he refused to play.

Won't hold it against him he was brilliant for us.

I wouldn't begrudge anyone refusing to play for the Bodge, I would take it as a matter of professional pride
