Torres - What a season he has had

Depending on how it's said, yes. We paid well over the odds for a player who has potential but is nowhere near the finished article so they're entitled to have a laugh over it- especially as he struggled in his first 12 months.
The difference appears to be that most Newcastle fans actually have a sense of humour.

 

...

 

Can't be said for liverpool fans

 

No, you're right.

 

So it's a bit hypocritical that a liverpool fan made this topic?

 

Yes, you're right again.
How do you do it?

 

...I think you have adopted the right tactic in the end...

 

It's okay to be bitter

 

I'll take your word on that.

 

8th place here you come next season

 

So you're a tarot card reader?.

 

Shhhhhhhhhh!

 

Nah, he just needs to have the last word, whatever it is.

 

You read my mind

 

Right, I'm not going to write anything more on this because you'll only have to reply and we'll go on forever.
Like being ****ing married.

Last thing of any note I saw Torres do was an assist in the world cup final. At club level, apart from the mild blip against Barcelona in the semi, he last looked good against Chavski for us.

I think he needs to go home, if he wants to ever get back to a level that gets him a starting place in the national team. For me, he is Shevchenko Mk II.

Personally, I would have no problem with him finding some form again. I've had my laugh, and that is mainly at Roman than Nando. He may have had a little swipe on his way out, but I get the feeling he was badly treated at the end.

 

Fact is Drogba was undropable for us in the big games last year and for that reason more than form or quality is why Torres didn't get much of a look in. In the C.L he had a very good game in Benfica and scored 'that' goal in Barca (whether it mattered is ultimately open for debate but we were still only a goal away from going out at the time). He has now had a solid Euros despite the manager not playing a striker most of the time and 3 goals in 5 appearances is a fine return.

Next season is massive for Torres in club terms; with Drogba gone and not breathing down his neck maybe we'll see more of Torres at his best. Having Marin, Mata and Hazard playing behind him wont hurt either.

 

That wasn't difficult.

He played 32 times last season(with Drogba in some)and his 6 goal return was piss poor,but i can understand your optimism now he's the number 1 striker at the bridge,
Chelsea will have to adapt to Torres's game rather than vice versa.
