To be fair to him he looks right at home in the games v Steaua, Rubin, Leeds, Brentford, Wolves reserves, Nordsjaelland, Monterrey and Aston Villa.

Is his conversion rate poor then?Originally posted by Tee View PostThat is amazing and it shows just how many chances Chelsea have created. Imagine if they had Falcao in that team, I reckon he would be on 30+ goals already.
I mean Torres of course.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

I would have thought there is a very high chance of that Neil.
TBF he does screw alot of moves up before they technically become chances.

Yep, I had the same thought.
I wonder if it's really true though. Obviously he's not been playing particularly well for a long time but it's easy to be misled by our own observations, as our collective amazed reaction to his goalscoring stats suggests..

It would not surprise me if his conversion rate was decent enough, but overall I think it is fair to say he has been poor - to the point the Chelsea fans actually cheered in one match not too long ago when he was being subbed!
No matter what he does now it is clear for everyone to see he is not the Torres we enjoyed. £50m kerching!!!!!! Andy Carroll...

yeah he's not the same player - but.......
- if we kept our main players this summer (suarez, agger, reina) added a couple good defenders and a boss centre mid - and managed to ship out carroll and the rest and after that could get torres for less than £10m i'd take him as squad player 
starting front three off
Sturridge-------Suarez-----------coutinho
with back up of
Downing---------torres----------sterling
would be pretty nice to have
however i'd be more than happy to welcome any better players in place of torres for £10m
i own everton fans on the internet....that's what i do

TBF, he did well initially when Rafa took over, before the WCC. His goals dried up after, basically as soon as I put him in my FF team.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostSelected goalscorers in all comps this season.
Torres 19
Ba 18
Rooney 17
Tevez 16
Dzeko 13
Aguero 13
Amazing really. Scored many of his goals against crap but stillIf we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

£10m would be okay but he'd probably be after serious wedge in terms of salary.Originally posted by PTP View Postyeah he's not the same player - but.......

Torres has scored 19 goals but only 7 have come in the Premiership, and his last Premiership goal was on 23rd DecemberThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

I wonder if it's impossible for him to regain that form or if it simply hasn't happened yet. Has he lost pace etc. or is it something non-physical, whether technical or psychological?
I get you, you're saying he's due a few more.Originally posted by Exiled_red View PostTorres has scored 19 goals but only 7 have come in the Premiership, and his last Premiership goal was on 23rd December
