That would be fantastic. And the way things go for Chelsea after transfer dealings with us, Suarez will go on a biting spree in October and get banned for life.
Third choice at best?
I've held out long enough, but I'm finally going to let you guys in on a little secret. Plz keep this on SCM so that my source doesn't get exposed.
Fernando Torres isn't very good at football anymore.

Well, the point would be that we need more than two options, but I certainly agree it's moot whether Torres would be the right third one to have.
Yes, third choice at best. He's never going to be ahead of Suarez and Sturridge, so why bother paying him a big wage to sit on the bench. Especially considering he seems to be a confidence player and isn't suited to that role at all.
Ah. I agree with that of course but the rumour was that Suarez was going in the opposite direction
All this 'third choice' chat is moot, because if he comes, Suarez will be leaving.
If Suarez leaves, and Torres comes. I hope we sign someone else, so Torres is third choice at best.
Torres in his pomp was a fucking sublime piece of machinery, capable of wonderful goals. He isn't that player anymore even if there is still a good player there. Not good enough to forget the moping about with a face like a spanked arse when we *needed* him to dig in. Carra has been pretty vocal about Torres ' lack of effort in the final 12 months, and it clearly still rankles with him. So it should with us too. I'd do business for Lukaku and 20-25 million.
Good judges like you keep mentioning Lukaku and it puzzles me a little, not because I don't rate the guy (he's clearly some player) but because I'm not convinced about him fitting into Rodgers' quick-sharp passing football. Genuine question: how would you see Lukaku fitting in?
Well, he'd be competing for Sturridge for the CF position but he could certainly play left or right in a front 3. He's monstrously good. As good as I see Sturridge becoming, I think Lukaku could become even better. He has an incredible range of assets at his disposal- pace, power, shooting, arial strength. If any player in world football has the attributes to become Drogba's heir, it is him.
Torres would have to make an impression off the bench and that requires a very good, competitive and hungry attitude - something he was devoid of in his last 12 months at Anfield
He left because he thought he was too good for us. The reality now is we're too good for him. And we're a bit shit.
I wouldn't be against a loan deal, but he would have to prove himself again in a red shirt to justify us spending a penny on him. My guess is that wouldn't sound too appealing to him and he'd rather go back to Spain.

It doesn't make any sense but most footballing fairy tales don't. I'd be excited on the off chance however small it could pay off. And let's face it, we as a club are pretty much all about the off chance now. As long as its not too financially damaging - a loan would be super - surely we can indulge ourselves for a bit of fun.
City need CBs ... bs
Fuck off Torres, it's bad enough hating Suarez.
It didn't make complete sense the first time around anyway.
His armband nenevr said 'You'll never walk alone'
Around the £8-10M figure for Torres I would be ok, even happy with
I do honestly believe he can recapture some of the form he had, and a change of scenery could do him a world of good. This late in the window, it's a gamble worth taking.
Other thing to note is that if Chelsea loan us a fringe player like Torres or Moses now, odds are they'll still be a fringe player an year from now as well. It's not as if they're going to try and gouge us on the price next summer, Chelsea typically sells to the first bidder that makes everybody happy, taking the simpler route.

I don't believe this bollocks for a second. Torres is gone, done and dusted. There is no need to reopen that particular wound - everybody needs to move on. If Rodgers is really wasting his time on this (instead of players like Eriksen or Yarmolenko) I would be disappointed.
Fowler's 2nd coming was worth it and he scored goals so why believe.
