Fernando Torres

[Pablo]

Maybe the short time with us when he looked up for it in the first year was his peak in terms of appearing like he actually enjoyed football.

It might have been when he first started getting hole off his missus, and now they've got a baby he's not getting it any more.

Did anyone else do a small puke when he ran up and hugged Terry after their first goal?

Don't think there will be another player in my lifetime who has left me as disappointed and let down as Nando.

But in all honesty I genuinely feel we got the better deal, absolutely convinced of it.

He's a cancerous polyp on the anus of humanity.

Harsh. I know that's how Tee comes across at first, but if you give him a bit more time he grows on you.

Hmmm on second thoughts I suppose that does sound like a cancer doesn't it

That is just a blank video? WTF?!

T WTF FTW

[Pablo]

Bad joke i know , but come on tumour me here!

Pure coincidence in the time of posting,........or perceptive insight into another forum member's character ?
Take your pick.

I expect one or two decidedly average seasons from him at Chelsea sprinkled with a few moments of genius followed by a return/loan back to Spain. Atletico, Villareal or some side of that standard. Should be getting back to fitness now but looked totally ****ing useless last night. Looks about 2 stone heavier than the greyhound we signed 4 years ago. £50 mill was total ****ing madness on their part and I don't subscribe to this "Only a matter of time till he's back to his best/ you don't lose what he's got" ****e. I fear(don't really) for his future as a top player at domestic and particularly international level. How on earth can you walk into a Spanish squad playing like he has?

[spanky]

its the fact that he now celebrates with a guy who up till recently was trying to maim him, thats what makes me sick.

Agreed, £50m is an astonishing price really. He's still a good player but theyve paid one of the highest fee's ever for a player who's had his prime. Its quite funny really.

The secret diary of Fernando Torres, aged 26 and three quarters*

By Annie Eaves



Dear diary

I am still struggling to adjust. I keep telling myself that the move was the right thing but doubts creep in.

I don’t feel one of the boys here. At Liverpool I’d go into training, see Dirk’s face, and immediately feel better about myself. I miss this.

Today at training I made another faux pas. We were getting changed and JT dropped his armband, I picked it up and handed it back to him. Everyone went quiet. I had to go and stand on the naughty step for 10 minutes. Nnobody is allowed to touch his armband unless he hands it to them. I don’t even know why he needed to wear it, we were only going swimming.

That’s the second time I’ve been on the naughty step this week. We were playing five-a-side and Frank took a shot, it hit me then two defenders, crashed against the post and went in off the goalkeeper's back. I queried why Frank was celebrating so much as it was clearly an own goal. I had to stand on the step for 20 minutes that time.

After swimming JT tried to make small talk to build bridges. He asked me how my new house is and I told him it was great, but the drive was very narrow and I struggled to get my Range Rover through. He said he knew what I meant as it took him ages too. I don’t understand as I haven’t invited him around yet, perhaps it’s some Cockney nonsense. I nodded.

We then all had something to eat. I finished first and went to leave the table, everyone looked astonished. I was told I had to ask first, so I asked. JT, Frank, Didier and Ashley then had a five-minute debate about it and gave me permission.

The tactics talk for the Manchester United game was interesting. All about pressing and watching their key players, which areas to exploit, who is getting picked and how we’ll be set up. Mr Abramovich is a very accomplished speaker.

Ashley brought a gun in last week, this big rifle thing. I was bemused as to why but JT explained to me it was part of his new training ground tours. Apparently the ‘punters’ had been concerned they weren’t getting value for their ten grand a go and so Ashley and JT are setting up a clay pigeon range so the corporates can do some team building after he’s showed them around the facilities. He told me it’s all part of being a captain and then touched his armband and growled.

It’s certainly very different here.
