"This season I have felt things that I never had before. I've felt like they treated me in a way that I didn't expect. Not in the way that was spoken of when they signed me. We've had a lot of talks and we'll talk about my future. "I want them to tell me what is going to happen in the future. Football has been fair on us, on me. "Now I do feel like football is worth it but I've been through a difficult time. The worst in my career. I don't want that again. There's been many times when I've felt lost, I wasn't sure what to do. I felt like I didn't know where I belonged.
"I need the club to tell me what is going to happen and what sort of role I will have within the team, what my duties are, what the club expects of me," he concluded. "And then judge whether it is worth it." Arrogant ****!
i thought di mateo wanted torres to take a penalty but the big girls blouse refused and bottled it again...
Prior to the penalty shoot-out Torres was seen to be in heated discussion with Di Matteo, who elected against using the Spaniard as one of his five designated takers. Gary Cahill has since revealed he was next on the list were the shoot-out to go to sudden death, but it is Balague's understanding Torres was keen to step up and play his part
Thank **** Dogbreath scored the winning peno,if ladyboy would have scored it we'd be getting wummed bigtime.
I said at the time Torres left LFC he was badly advised, to go from a club who adored him, played to his strengths and played him every week to go to Chelsea was a mistake. We should all learn three things from this; 1. Confidence is EVERYTHING with some players - especially strikers. 2. John and Paul were right - money can't buy you love. 3. I am ALWAYS right!
I think i'm a bit bemused by torres here.. he got what he wanted. massive wage increase, 2 medals, no effort required to get them. I mean what does he want? Clearly chelsea have a pecking order created by 4/5 senior players and that included drogba. they decided who played and he knew that like we all did going. I do not get this interview at all. Even if he did it before the two finals and as per guillem is the petty opportunist in putting it out now it makes no sense. is he engineering a move to real or barca? Will he now betray athletico promises too? I do find him wondering what is role is or expecting the club to tell him what to do a bit silly. he knows full well he's a second string to drogba once the 3/4 big dogs got rid of AVB. di matteo is not getting the chelsea job as RA knows Di matteo is just a mouth for terry, lampard, cole and drogba.
Whatever you may think about Torres, he is an ambitious person and a good professional (apart from the way he announced he wanted to join CFC, you rarely see him on the front pages in the headlines). He wants to be playing at the highest level and he wanted to win trophies. If he had stayed, he would have had another year without CL football and one Carling Cup medeal to show for it. I can see why he left because the club was going nowhere, although Keny was starting something but look how that ended up. However, the way he went about the transfer and royally screwed us shows us how ruthless he is.
He should have known though that he would never be the main guy at Chelsea. Better to be like Gerrard and be the number one in the team and a repected legend but having to appreciate fewer trophies than to be a bit-part in a money-bags team with no soul.
He gets no sympathy at all from me. When he left us we were in transition, we needed him to step up and what did he do, hand in a Transfer request at the death or a transfer window. He's been **** at Chelsea, they have not mistreated him, he got played for 25hours of football without scoring, hed have been dropped after 13 by most others. Serves the little twat right if you ask me.
in all fairness we've been in "transition" for the last couple of years now, and no doubt next year will be a "transition" year too. Players at our club atm aren't gettin' any younger...
I agree with that, but with as he was always our first choice striker, i reckonhe'd have found his form again quicker with us than he did at the Chavs. We would not have got on his back, we would have got right behind him and told anyone who gave him stick to **** off. He could then have been that 25 goal a season Striker we are missing. Would we have finished 8th then? No, we ****ing well wouldn't. I still say there were only 6 games last season in the league we deserved to lose, with an In form Torres up front we'd hve looked a hell of a lot better.
Very true, he should have known better, and the way he left was shocking. But another season like this and we will end up losing players we would never have dreamed would leave of their own accord (Skrtel, Lucas??)
I can understand maschernao wanting to go to barca... that i can get. But what i cannot get..... and even with chelsea lucking into the CL final and winning it on pens.. is how torres thought it was a good move. lets be frank here. he jumped ship. fair enough lets leave aside our plight cos frankly at this point jumping ship is not a bad plan for any player who's a mercenary and interested in medals and moeny and glory... they all are after all. so you decide enough is enough. you hear chelsea are in for you... they've sacked managers left and right, and have a kabal of senior guys who you know run the place with one guy in your slot. Plus its chelsea... its NOT real, its not barca. why on earth would you jump at said move in a january window when you can play for lfc, score a few and blame the club for any bad form? Then get your big move in the summer when you can assess ALL your options. I just wonder exactly what abramovich promised the guy. theres more to this than simply him being angry over a starting slot in two finals. Abramovich promised him the earth then forgot all about it as he swanned off to the yacht.... and this is why chelsea will go from boom to bust all the time.. I have to say in 5-10 years chelsea could really cease to be cos one bust too many... lol as for terres. Maschernao loved his CL medal sitting o nthe bench for barca basically all year so torres ought to be happy with his too, no? alonso at least work like a dog for his la liga and copa del rey medals. Thay all moved for ambition and moeny etc... they all prospered in their own way. LFC need to realise that they need to give just as much back to the ambitious players as they expect from them or they will go.
Even under Kenny, Chavski was his only decent performance. Talk of getting traitor players back in, always makes me McManaman - Owen - Torres, all get to ****ery.
Again, agree with what you've said there. I would not get at anybody just because they leave the club, that’s just life and it’s what happens. Torres showed a lack of respect and dignity in the way he went about it. We had just signed Suarez as well and were climbing up the table. Yes, we got £50 million quid, and yes, we didn’t spend it wisely – but he could have got his head down, as MITO said, and left in the summer. Nobody would have got at him then. But, all things considere – no sympathy – he can **** off.
I saw the title of this thread and that there had been 40 responses. I am not going to read through any of the article, I am merely going to state the obvious... someone (probably a few actually) will have stupidly suggested him returning to Liverpool with others slagging both Torres and those particular posters off resulting in a bitch fight. I read the Torres interview yesterday and my thoughts where "looks like the dummy has slipped out again".
