Re: Torres – Boyhood club return or boyhood club ruin?

[Nedved]

It is a loan deal as I expected. Good that It is a 2 yr loan as it will take us to the end of his contract.

[Art Morte]

lol, never seen fans of any club cheer this much a two-year loan deal for their £50m player

[Shed]

^ Says the fan of the club who loaned its £35m player

[Art Morte]

£50m > 35m

[Shed]

We both loaned out our record signing after he bombed spectacularly.


You've not a leg to stand on here, my dear

I can't believe he's finally gone......

Indeed

£15m buys me plenty of legs

Plus we got £15m back for Carroll when West Ham bought him, you've just loaned Torres

So £30m buys me plenty of legs for both sides, right and left

So happy

Mourinho on Torres' departure:

"I don’t think a sad person can work the way he does, can be as professional as he is. He works so hard, is so professional, is so stable in his personal life. I don’t see a sad man. But when I speak about happiness, I mean football happiness. Football feeling: more self-confidence, not the need to feel under pressure, not to feel he has to deliver and that all eyes are on him because of a big transfer fee. All these kind of things.

Probably the move would create for him a different start. If he wants to leave, it would be because he wants to try a new life. A new club. Probably a new league. To try to be happier than he was in the last couple of years. Chelsea is a very human club in the way the club approaches this kind of situation. Any possibility would be analysed by us as a club and the best decision for him. But I don’t think his time here has been sad. He won a few things, scored a few important goals. So I don’t look at this history as being negative."

Happiest day the club has seen since Munich.

[fatman123]

I can't believe there are Chelsea fans who are upset about this

[Shed]

Torres fanboyz.


They'll be Milan fans in a week.

If anyone brings up the fact that Jose hasn't won anything in two years, I am going to remind them of Torres sale

[Shed]

Getting shot of his useless arse with 2 years still left on his contract is a bigger achievement than all his trophies combined

[Kick]

I find it funny that Milan will take him for the rest of his contract, by then he'll be 32, at which point they'll probably not want him any longer, neither will we, so he'll end up a free agent.

[Shed]

At which point some Middle Eastern, Asian, or American club will be drawn to his big name and offer him mega bucks to join them regardless his usefulness.


Great work if you can get it.

[Kick]

Exactly.

**** me. Does anybody really feel like he scored 45 times for us?

[Kick]

If you're going to sensor half the word, can you just sensor the whole thing next time?

Also, I agree, it was skewed by our run in the EL though. I'd love to see his PL stats.

@Barrett

[Shed]

I've seen you let far worse slip in all the other sections


As for the rest, I suppose that could have something to do with it, but even still - it doesn't feel like there've been 45 instances of celebrating Torres scoring

[Kick]

Not all sections are my responsibility.

No, it doesn't but he was here for 3 and a half years.

[Shed]

3 and a half years or 3 and a half decades? It feels more like the latter
