KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Why Chelsea you ask?

Yes it's all about money in all walks of life but especially in football. And it's sickening as it thrives on working people's money.

People hate Chelsea because they buy success, just like Man City are hated now (probably even more so).

It does look highly likely he'll leave either today or tomorrow.
I don't understand why LFC would sell him now. For several reasons. 1) We're selling to a direct rival 2) It's way too late to find a fitting replacement 3) They bought Suarez to partner Torres. Is £50 mill and perhaps Anelka enough?

None of this makes sense. Liverpool football club does nothing but sell papers these days. It's sad to see us all over the pages of the internet and media for all the wrong reasons. Just when things were starting to look bright again this happens. Wow it's becoming very stressful supporting this club. But we all do and will continue to way after Torres has gone.

i really think we should tell him he is under contract and he is not going to chelsea now. but he can leave in the summer but not in england (the same as manu said to heinze) thus giving us time to find a replacement . the in the summer aution him off to the highest bidder in europe

Even Pienaar had the sense to choose Spurs over Chelsea!

Figo did it to Barca too. only money and a good shot at trophies talk these days.

i dont believe the shyte that footballers sprout these days and especially so when they kiss the badge and say they want to retire at the club...

I've just had a peek at some Chelsea forums and they don't seem keen on signing Torres at all. Especially for 50 mill.
This is all about a billionaire's latest toy. They are all up in arms about the way the club is being run. And we think we've had problems. Well if Torres chooses to join them then good luck to him. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

exactly! i think i get mad at myself for being a fan when the players just treat fans like sh*t, but lfc is in my heart i cant change that,the money hes on for sitting on the bench too, he crys about false promises and lies when all the time thats what hes doing to us now! if there were broken promises he was part of it not a victim! fans are the victims

spot on mate fans are the victims, players complain they are victims when theyr'e on 100 grand a week, pathetic me thinks bunch of little girls the lot of em

Every club has some sensible fans and the ones at Chelsea probably realise, that they have players past their best all around the team and that improving their strike force is not the priority! Only a few weeks back they were in a run of 1 win in 9. As I've said in my last few posts, Torres is being very badly advised. He'd be better off going to Spurs or Man City. Time will tell, but if he goes through with this, I think he'll look back when he's retired and think this was the worst decision he ever made. He'll never win the Champs league with Chelsea as Barcelona would murder them and though it pains me to say it Utd, Arsenal, City and Spurs are all better than them - so I don't see Chelsea winning the title in the next 5 years either. With Kenny at the helm and 2/3 more quality signings, either in this window or the summer, we'll be going past Chelsea as well. Wake up and smell the coffee, Fernando!

thats why i think its not for medals its money cos in the summer he would have better placed clubs to join for winning medals than has come in for him now! but no club will offer 50 mil come the summer so hes selling his soul for dosh now while he can, if chelsea buy lots of players there no guarantee of trophies,city know that,we have a much chance as chavski of winning trophies,Its money money money!

He will fit in well there just like schevchenko did.
