Wouldn't be suprised if the Chav's tried to offload him this winter...

Oh yeah, I can see Wenger spending 20+million on Torres in January, definitely.

Hell yes, he must still have the ability so if he's available for a decent price we should take a chance.

On his day he is one of the very best.
But he hasn't had his day for like 2 years now. :unsure:
In his defence at least, Liverpool's decline and his injury problems contributed to his career tailing off there. As for his current stint at Chelsea, he was nothing more than a vanity signing from Uncle Roman. He wasn't needed but Ancelotti had to find a way of fitting him in because of the price tag, and he couldn't do that because they already had a settled system with Drogba up top.
The fact AVB is playing Sturridge and signed Lukaku as well means he's probably not at the top of his priority list either. :shrug:
I don't believe a player can just lose class and ability at the flick of the switch. It's all about being in the right environment for him personally and obviously Chelsea is not it.
It's a nice thought that we could swoop in and rescue him, so he could rekindle his form with us, but Chelsea wouldn't sell him to us and they'd want to recoup a lot of that 50m which we wouldn't pay anyway.
He's most likely to go home to Atletico if he does leave Chelsea IMO.

how much would we get him for?
would be less than the 50mil he went to the Chavs for as he is damaged goods and would be worth a punt to answer your question, would also force us to play two up front
but we would have to spend more than what we have left over from Cesc/Nas deals and would have to say goodbye to any Hazard/M'Vila dreams
got a few brass buttons I could offer
Darth Vela
12-09-2011, 02:25 PM
No less than 30m imo, maybe 35 if we threw in Squillaci as well, that's if Chelsea would be willing to sell to us as there'd be a few other teams happy to take him for that money, PSG spring to mind.

yeah Chavs would make sure we coughed up everything they thought we had left and TBH cant see Torres coming to us, I dont think we are a step up interms of creativity than were he is now but it could work, with Jack back and two decent wingers and you never know Stan may cough up some money in Jan.......however we just run the risk of having to go through one player again and that one day he will go knocking on the manager's door looking for move back home.
What? with his coke habit? not bloody likely...

Henry lost his pace after 30.
Torres has already lost it, seemingly.
He's not as creative as strikers like Rooney, RVP or Drogba either.
At the moment, he's as useless as that Michael Jackson statue at Craven Cottage.

add to that some of the bs you've gleamed from twitter over the summer and it adds up to one hell of a steaming rotten pile of pissing bollocks.

If he costs £35- and finds his form again, he would be a great buy. I reckon he would be great alongside RvP and fed by Arteta/Wilshere - again it is if he can find the form he had when he first joined Liverpool.

Apparently said his Chelsea teammates were 'slow' in a recent interview.
Whether he meant physically or mentally am currently unsure.

I would go along with that and he could be tempted by a fresh challenge. . . .and they dont come much fresher than us but a big question is us paying that much. . . .I mean look what we did this summer. . . .we ran away every time the price went any close to what we paid for Arshavin
we sit on the sidelines watching other clubs pay the kind of money that talent demands, I mean shit we let teams pay the same kind of money for our own players who theu deem are quality but still refuse to follow suit.
Instead the biggest deal of our summer was the 12 mil paid for the Oxo kid, last seen making up the numbers at Old Trafford!
we had more than one chance to pay in quality,
1) Cahill quality(?) But better than what we have, this one I agree is not 17 mil worth and I for one thought the reported initial bid was a bit of a cute move and that we would up the ante and meet in the middle, that Cahill would be playing for us, a bit of a fuck up by us that he isn't
2) Mata, quality (yes) early signs show thus, maybe never seriously coming to us once the Chavs entered the game but we were too slow and may have been able to seal this
3) Hazard, quality (yes) too many wide players some say, dont really give a fuck as some pteams have too many midfielders and seem to do OK and dont really think so as as Walctt and Arshavin shouldnt be playing there in the first place. Classic case of avoiding the big pay out cos I think if we went close to Lilles evaluation we could have landed him. Now we will wait for Jan or next summer sales, likewise M'Vila. Both these players will no doubt end elsewhere.
Dont get me wrong, Im not gutted with who we brought in and I would hate to see us spunk our money away on big name has beens, but a 10 mil deal here, a 7 mil deal there may not be enough in the current climate.
Coney is right, a back in the day Torres for 35 mil would be a no brainer but a back in the day Torres would not go for 35.
There is no guarantee and things often are a gamble but we may, just may come out a winner or we could like the last time we broke our transfer record end up with. . . .

This. Also Torres has illustrated the problem with marquee signings - because they can as easily blow up as be an Aguero. I mean how many 'big name' strikers have Citeh got through before hitting the jackpot?

what makes you think he'll get service here?
we've been utter crap at giving service to strikers this year, piss poor in the final third.
he'll flop here. 2 years ago he'd have scored 30 goals a season though.
