This isn't as glorious as it used to be, sad player at a sad club.

I agree, if this was 2008, it'd be massive.

This is how you write a farewell to a poor player, Barcelona:
Torres loan complete
http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/08/torres-loan-complete.html

Fernando Torres has today finalised the loan that will see the striker spend the next two years at AC Milan.

The 30-year-old will now play for the Serie A side following three-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge, in which time he helped Chelsea lift the Champions League, the Europa League and the FA Cup.

A World Cup-winner, Torres joined Chelsea from Liverpool in January 2011. Memorable highlights include his Champions League semi-final breakaway against Barcelona at the Nou Camp and the goal that helped beat Benfica to lift the Europa League trophy a year later. A hat-trick against neighbours QPR in April 2012 is his biggest Chelsea haul in one game.

Torres continued to share in Spain’s international success while at Chelsea. He helped his country to a second successive European Championship in 2012, securing the Golden Boot in the process thanks to his three goals, one of which came in the final where he also teed up club-mate Juan Mata to put the icing on a 4-0 win over Italy.

In the busy 2012/13 season his 22 goals were spread over seven different competitions, a club record. In the Europa League he scored key goals against Steaua Bucharest and Rubin Kazan before his opener in the final in Amsterdam.

He also netted Chelsea’s final goal of last season, a late winner at Cardiff, having earlier in the season raised the roof at Stamford Bridge with an even later goal that defeated Manchester City in the 90th minute.

Chelsea Football Club thanks Fernando for his service during the past four seasons and wishes him the very best for his loan in Italy.

Anyway, I feel that I should lock this thread. If there are no objections of course, Or perhaps a title change is in order?

by Shed Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:06 pm

I was planning to change the title when it was complete, yea.

by Kick Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:08 pm

Alright, well I won't lock it then.

by Shed Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:09 pm

I have a feeling we'll be talking quite a bit about him in the future so a lock wouldn't be advisable anyway Twisted Evil

by Kick Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:12 pm

Well, it is a loan, and we do have a loan update thread. Wink

by Shed Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:14 pm

Have we locked the Bamford, Omeruo, Feruz, Romeu, Perica, Pasalic, Piazon, McEachran, Marin, Bertrand and Moses threads? scratch

by Kick Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:17 pm

Has Bamford, Omeruo, Feruz, Romeu, Perica, Pasalic, Piazon, McEachran, Marin, Bertrand and Moses cost us 50m pounds, spent three and a half years playing poorly and did they have their exits celebrated?

by Shed Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:19 pm

If anything, those are just reasons supporting keeping the thing open Wink

Emotions much higher concerning him as opposed to just some random youth/fringe player.

by Kick Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:22 pm

No they're not, he'll never play for Chelsea again, which cannot be said for the youngsters, who could, if they play well enough.

besides, think of the lols to be had when you have to post a Torres goal in the loan update thread rofl
