If you have to pay 24 million quid for Darren Bent, then 35 million for Torres is a complete joke.

I think only really Ronaldo, Messi, Tevez and Barca front 5 could command more. If the expensive Lucas (Kaka) is £55, Torres is easily that!

Torres is one player I can unashamedly say I love to watch play when he is on form, incredible player!

The current Rouble exchange rate isn't that much in Chelsea's favour.

That would be dreadful if it came off. Have no time for the mickey mousers but I do like Torres, to see him in blue would be awful. Don't think we've heard the last of this though.

I am caught between wanting to p*** on Liverpool's 'ascent to greatness' and not wanting Chelsea to improve.

Sadly there may be some weight in this. Guess who owns a house in Putney?

Maybe Al Fayed will give himself a little birthday treat?

Torres to Fulham, you heard it first!

I've got a tenner on it!

Imagine Torres and Bobby up front with Dembele and Dempsey on the wings...?

Oh well, imagination and fantasy is a wonderful thing... :dft001:

That's weird, I was having the exact same fantasy. Telepathy? :002:

Pata · January 28, 2011, 02:12:03 PM

Hang on... is this the same knackered/past it/lost his pace/disinterested as of only last month Fernando Torres??? Well, I never...

finnster01 · January 28, 2011, 02:52:01 PM

Yes, but in a different shirt so he has something to play for other than a bunch of plastic kopites with lobotomy

Knowing how Henry runs the Boston Red Sox, I would be surprised if it happened (unless the Scum tack on an extra 15 mill. to that reportedly 35). For Reds haters this guy is bad news. He is a winner, understands tradition of an historically important club (Boston equates to Liverpool in MLB), and is willing to shell out cash. Hicks is a buffoon and was a terrible owner of his US based teams. The Red Sox are consistent contenders and spend by far the 2nd most in baseball (only the Yankees have more resources).

Champions League football, is this "something" you're aiming for.

Can't see a player of Torres' calibre wanting to play for an upper midtable outfit for too long.

Pata · January 28, 2011, 07:49:18 PM

In a Fulham shirt? Ah, I see. Silly-silly me.

Erm, what? Do us a favour...(lolz), I wasn't seriously suggesting Fulham could have him. Obviously.

That "something", the chance to play in the Champions League, is what he will have to play for when he moves to Chelsea.

Luis "Dracula" Suarez IN, Fernando "his armband says the he's a red as long as they have ambition" Torres OUT.
