You know what I've been thinking today? That his turnaround in form isn't down to Kenny. He was trying to prove to Chelsea that he's still got it. For most of the season he was ****e, until Chesea rolled into town and suddenly he turns it on. That game was like a ****ing job interview for him.
It's only a theory, but let's say his agent is speaking to Chelsea before the window, and Chelsea aren't keen because his form has been mostly gash for ages. *That's why there's no bid at the start of Jan, which would have made more sense.
So Torres pulls his finger out and proves to Chelsea he hasn't lost it, and with them now being happy with what they've seen they press ahead with trying to sign him.
Purely speculative, but my opinion of him is so low and has been for some time, that this seems more likely to me than this just coming out of nowhere.
If it doesn't go through I hope we don't play him, take the number 9 off him and give it to Suarez.
And another thing. It's not a co-incidence that Chelsea put this bid in when our players have two days off and Torres is apparently out of the country. Timed perfectly so he didn't have to deal with the fall out of it all.
He probably thought when he came back he'd be going startight to London and wouldn't even have to come back here.
We'll get a whole load of garbage from him now about broken promises as he tries to justify what he's done.
I was told a couple weeks ago by someone that this is what he'd do when he left (he was assumed it would be in the summer though, not now). He said the only promise Purslow made Torres in the summer was that the club would be sold by the refinancing deadline in October, which it was.
However, he was promised all kinds of other **** by representatives of Kenny Huang, who flew out to Spain to sweet talk him. He can't blame the club though if he was taken in by that ****ing fraud and his proclamations about signing Drogba and Iniesta.
don't put yourself up for ridicule again by being so aggressive!!! If Nando wants to leave f*&k him, let him go - we move on to our next number 9. No-one is bigger than LFC, unlike up at cold Trafford where someone who's only scored once from open play all season dictates what goes on
