Fernando Torres

[EwarWoo]

Pretty sure he was still getting a goal every other game even when he was "****" for us- nowhere near as good as the first 3 years or so, but way, way better than at the Chavs.

9 goals in 26 appearances. Not as **** as at the chavs, but considering he was lone striker with a system set up for him....

[Roboklopp]

Hmm, aye not great at all. That having been said, it was under The Bodge. Even Luis wouldve struggled under that buffoon.

Chelsea face a staggering £10million bill to get Fernando Torres out of Stamford Bridge as the forward prepares to dig in over his £175,000-a-week contract.

It wasn't just his goal scoring but, it was his attitude. The season before when he first started to slip he just looked like he could not give a **** half the time and just gradually got worse.

I didn't say anything here for fear of getting abused but chatting with mates in RL I'd been saying I wanted him gone for ages.

[fah-q]

One on one with the keeper you just knew he would score.

His heart and pace may have gone but he was still a phenomenon.

Slight change of topic (:cackoff but anyone seen next season's Chelsea GK kit? All red....FFS the Chav cunt Cech will be in all red.

Asked about Torres on Friday, he said: "Obviously we want him to score more goals. But does he have a future? Yes."
The former Liverpool forward was left out of the starting line-up for Chelsea's quarter-final first-leg loss to PSG, with Andre Schurrle preferred up front.
"During [his] period at the club he has had moments, some of them important moments," Mourinho added.
"He works hard for the team and brings things to the team. He is contracted and a good professional."

[McDermotX]

In other words

'Please.....someone......take this useless cunt off of us'

[Tee]

After the public flogging he took on Weds, Jose is clearly trying to talk him up again before Inter walk away from a potential deal.

I have just caught up on this thread.

Danny Murphy is a bit dim isn't he.

[Fivex]

Anyone fancy working out an approximate £/goal including wages, comparing him with us vs Chavs? Please?

I was speaking to a fellow red today, who is a family friend of the club doctor Zaf Iqbal. You've probably spotted him on matchdays, the asian guy with glasses.

Now don't shoot the messenger but my friend told me that Dr Iqbal said that Fernando Torres never wanted to leave us. He was infact forced out by the club as his knee injury was really bad. The report on his knee said that due to the seriousness of the knee issue that the player will only be able to run at pace in a straight direction. Previousley he could change direction and move side-to-side when running at pace. At the time (summer 2010) the Doc also stated that 'within 3 years the player will be finished'.

My mate who told me this is not a bull****ter. Maybe it also explains Torres's constant 'the LFC fans dont know the truth, but one day they will' stance.

I remember reading that same version of events about a year ago, can't remember who the source was though (might even have been on here). It does all seem to stack up.

[RedAndWhite]

If it is the truth then well played the club - right upto the point they sign Andy Carroll......

[Liverpool]

I heard from a similarly decent source he wanted Rafa gone or he'd leave, Rafa went then we got Woy, he left the following the Jan.

Was his terrible perfomances a sulk or knee injury? Then there was the transfer request just before he left. Who knows

I reckon his head was turned just like Gerrard, his people wanted one thing and he went along with it, before having a change of heart but the transfer was too far along to be stopped.
