Indeed.
He was one of the worlds best at one point too :(

With Torres it was more frustration, he had showed glimpses of ***ness at Liverpool (***ness = his skills diminishing), and I perfectly believe the same thing would have happened if he had stayed at Pool. One injury too many.
Coupled with a ****ty start at CFC and his confidence just got sapped.
The frustration was because we couldn't ****ing unload him.
No one would touch him, and could you blame them.

"Take this ****ty player, he only wants 150k per week"

I don't think our set up helped Torres either. We continued to play with him the way we did with Drogba. Torres doesn't want to be contesting 60 yard kicks from Cech.

Still, that goal in the Nou Camp changes his legacy somewhat.
 
  • Young player loaned the other way. I see this more as when Anelka was supposed to be second to Drogs and that swapped about a few times. That said this is a different situation. Falcao had an ACL and I believe our medical facilities and staff are second to none. Claire Raffety had three ACL's and just played a World Cup less then 12 months since her last one. He has four familiar team mates in our squad. Jose would of watched Falcao weekly when he played for Porto as Jose follows the Portuguese league every week for fun and knows how to get players from that league to play in England.

Reports are we are paying Falcao 180 Gs a week !! Can't quite get my head around that figure. After his last year of football, I wouldn't pay him 180 quid a week. Jose really is the Special One if he can resurect Falcao, so good luck to him. Falcao in good form would be a huge coup for Chelsea.
 
Woopey ****ing dooooooo.
I hope Jose knows what the **** he is doing.
This stinks of Juan Veron.
Class player, signs for United, is ****, signs for Chelsea, is still ****.

At least its only on loan. And maybe being with Costa again may resurface some of the magic, but people said that about Torres when Rafa came to Chelsea.
Who knows? As long as he is not our 1st choice striker then I guess I can't complain (too much), just an expensive understudy.
(The irony, how Costa was his understudy for a period at Atletico, how the tables have turned).

.....never forget, we did win the European Cup with Torres at Chelsea. :emoticon-0103-cool:
