Torres

AVBs quote about Torres - about looking deep into it and getting the original transcripts. It's as if he'd love more reasons to get shut.
 
I will continue to will him to fail so long as he is with Chelsea, but I feel a bit sad for him too now, especially watching that video.

He's the best Liverpool striker I've ever watched, by miles and miles, and I've never accepted the "1-0 every day of the week" sort of thinking. I like watching magical players, and there was a while where you could expect it from him and he'd deliver.
 
BBC News said:
Fernando Torres has been told to explain an interview in which he seemed to criticise Chelsea team-mates.

Torres, 27, spoke to the website of Spain's Primera Liga last week, with a translation appearing on his personal website which quoted him as saying the club's older players were "very slow."

The striker has insisted he was misquoted in the English translation. However Chelsea, who are seeking an original Spanish version, are unlikely to fine the player.

Torres' interview was authorised by the club - had it not been he would have faced heavier censure - but he is still set to have to explain the contents to manager Andre Villas-Boas.

While the English translation carried the direct criticism of team-mates, a Spanish version on his site carried a line that translated as saying the team "play very slowly".

Keen to get an original version, Villas-Boas said: "We are going in-depth to regain the tape of that interview. We'll see if things play exactly as they are in that interview."

Asked what action would be taken if the translation proved accurate, the Portuguese said: "We'd just talk. Just talk to share opinion. If it was unauthorised, I'd fine him, of course. Anyhow, it's one player's perspective. I don't think it's a perspective that the manager shares. I don't have to share my players' ideas sometimes. I think we have competence, apart from the 'age problem', which for me is not a problem. Maybe we just have to speak about that situation and he has to see our view as well."

In the original interview, Torres admitted that it had taken him longer to settle at Chelsea than he would have predicted. Despite becoming the most expensive player in British football when he completed a £50m move from Liverpool in January he has since scored just once in 22 club matches, was not involved in Spain's Euro 2010 qualifier against Liechtenstein last week and found himself restricted to a late cameo in Saturday's Premier League win at Sunderland.

Declining to say whether Torres was in line for an immediate recall for Tuesday's Champions League opener against Bayer Leverkusen, Villas-Boas said he hoped being dropped could add as extra motivation.

"I think any player who's not part of the squad or the selected players is not happy," he said. "I'm glad because maybe you can stimulate them to go one step further, or motivate them a bit more."
 
I'm with Farkmaster on this, the pain and anger are slowly being replaced by sadness. Seeing that video brought it all back, I feel like an old woman whose young husband was taken from her on D-Day after just three years of wonderful marriage. I married again and was lucky enough to find a wonderful man for the second time in my life so I was able to put my first husband out of my mind, now I've just stumbled on an old photo of our honeymoon in Blackpool and a great sadness has overcome me. I've gone to the bathroomn to cry, quietly, alone with the photo.
 
Yes, some great moments.
Still he has made his bed and will have to lie in it.
I still think he knows he made a big big mistake in leaving us, and knew it probably was at the time.

I'm sure hitler was a lovely chap and the life and soul of a party until he slaughtered all those jews

He made his mistake and he's a cunt for it

I have no sympathy

While there are some superficial similarities to the rise and fall of Kaka; both great players whose prime seems behind them due to injury, I think it's really insensitive and hyperbolic to draw him into the discussion.

Hey......they're the fucking pensioners........not us 8)
 
I think he'll go at the end of the season. I know he could still turn it round, is his heart in it though? Big mistake Nando.

He actually looked like he was trying in his first few games this season, but lo and behold, for once his finishing let him down

He seems have turned into a less prolific kuyt
 
Ignoring the whole Dunc bit, is it really that inconceivable to think that Torres thinks he's made a mistake with the move and could look for a way back? I'm not saying that that is the case, just that it's conceivable that he might.

I think if the opening came for him to come back he probably would, although we probably wouldn't go for him

I don't think he'd ever return to be honest. Wouldn't want him back anyway.
 
I'd be seriously tempted lads. Football is the most fickle of Sports. Wayne Rooney at the scum is a perfect example

Fuck him.

Although I will thank him for making me realise that they're all tossers (besides Kenny).

.... And you can't help but think what it would be like having both of them at the same time.

Filthy minx....

I want an admission from him that he made the wrong move.

I reckon it'll be a humbling experience if he ever comes back and with that he'll start to play as he did.


I'll have him back but only at the price he's worth now (ie <<<<<<<<<50 mil.)

We made one of the best deals of the past few years, now people want to ruin that. Who are we, Spurs?
[/quote]

exactly. Quite why people think he'll come back and be a revelation when he was shite for 18 months before we shifted him puzzles me

]Hes hardly looked a threat when playing for chelsea.

Lets buy Henry because he WAS good years ago
 
Not all football fans are fickle. I wouldn't have the cunt back in a million years. Bridges are well and truly burnt for me.
 
When i see the chavs result the first thing i look for is if he's scored or gone off injured. Since doing this, win, lose, or draw i've still been able to raise a smile on all but one occasion.

Ha, I do exactly the same thing.

We're not bitter at all.
 
I'm sure it's unhealthy Keni, but as long as he continues to fail the feeling of "hahahaha" i get makes it worth while.
