I'm a bit of a sucker for this sort of transfer so if it's fairly cheap I'm ok with it. I'll clutch to straws like "even at his peak he looked mostly shit for Spain". Then I'll end up kicking myself when he plays like wank.
Also I don't think him coming would definitely mean Suarez going. They've got Eto'o now so surely they need to offload him anyway?

They will keep Torres.. Ba will be the one to go..
Ageed but he does know how to run in them channels which we were great in finding against Stoke.
Torres would be better here. That goes without saying.
Steven Gerrard makes any striker look better, it's as simple as that.
He still wouldn't be good enough imo, unless be was really cheap & Chelsea were paying most of his wages, in which case it'd make some sense.

DIsagree. For a long time that season we could hardly even buy a goal. Then Robbie grabbed one against Fulham, we ended up winning 5-0 and we couldn't *stop* scoring till the end of the season. Torres is younger than Robbie was then, so who knows?
I don't often agree with Glen C, but I do here - Torres needs a team to be build around him. He definitely won't be afforded that luxury here and any hope of his form improving will quickly vanish.
I remember very well when Sheva came back to Milan after his disastrous spell in Chelsea - he was a shadow of the player who left for England. You can't step into the same river twice and all that.

He thrives on space, through good movement, and someone who can play a good through ball, like Gerrard and Yossi both used to offer him, but in a team that's adept at picking out passes through the eye of a needle and good movement in the attacking third (see Sturridge moving the players away from Sterling the other night), I don't see why he couldn't adapt. Chelsea have never really used him correctly, Ba hasn't really flourished there either, they've relied on Drogba for years as the battering ram (I know that's doing him an injustice) and it's a setup they've not really successfully replaced.
He probably is a lost cause, but I don't think Chelsea has necessarily been the best environment for him or for him to be judged, he's never hit it off there as a player or a person. He'll never replicate what he had with us.

I would have agreed with that if Rafa hadn't gone to Chelsea. But even Rafa couldn't get him back to his previous from and he did try building the team around torres.
Can we get him back, if only so we can sing the song again (or a version of sorts)....
It was a bloody good song.....

Now Michael Owen has retired.. we are going to get these tedious threads about Torres every year...
No.. fuck off, don't want him anywhere near the club.. Judas cnut...

Better to just say we screwed them for £50m, no?
Depends if he provided any value back. If he was available on the cheap then he is clearly a great player to be a back up.
Romantic.
I'd have Judas back in a heartbeat especially if he is banging them in for us. We already have 1 cunt playing for us, 2 won't make a difference and they could easily fire us into the top 4 at the very least. A front 3 of Sturridge, Suarez and Torres would be awesome and they all offer something different.
