Not trying to do an Adrian Durham off Talksport but I heard that a decent percentage of Chelsea fans would happily shift him on.

What is it now? 22 Games and 1 goal?

WHEN we regain a top four spot this season (hopefully even at the expense of Chelsea! Man U and Citeh are certs you would think) we will need players that can push us further still.

Would you be happy if we re-signed Torres for a fee in the region I suggested?

I still take merciless glee at every result that goes by without him scoring and it dawned in me very early on in his Blues career (after about 10 or so games) that it just isn't going to work out for him there! No matter what!

That team is so drilled into a mould that it will take a complete re-boot to change things. Mata gives them a hint of a possible shift change but is it any wonder that Chelsea has not changed its direction/style under three managers since Mourinho?

The guy is starved of quality service although he is surrounded by (ageing) class. The Chelsea setup was just never gonna suit him.

Highly unlikely to happen but now that we have moved on and have new heroes to cheer I don't feel anywhere near as hostile towards him and think that he was just too short sighted to step back and look at the big picture. Like so many of us it was clear that Chelsea were on the slide and it seemed like a sideways move (of sorts) rather than a step up.

Now that FSG have delivered I think he will be having sleepless nights questioning his move when in reality I think all that it will end up with for him is a season more in the Champs League.

None of us would have begrudged him a move to a team like Barca or Real in the summer if he still didn't fancy staying.

Just reckon he could easily flourish once more in the right team and the way we are shaping up he'd probably be just as magic as the Old Torres was, bouncing off of the likes of Suarez and getting balls slipped in to him by Downing, Adam, Gerrard.

I'd still take him back for what would turn out to be be a £25M loan for a season and a half!

Your thoughts.....

the problem is bohey hes well and truly burnt his bridges at lfc.Besides he was useless for two seasons before he left.became like a big girl and was totaly disinterested.
a better option imo would be to sell carrol on at 25m and take the loss because his value is going to plummet horendously.

There is no stopping for these rumors... Do you really think he will cut down his wages from 175k to 85-125K.

As long as his attitude was ok I would have him back in a flash. Him an Suarez would be unbelivable. Not going to happen though. I have a feeling next summer we will be in the market for a top striker to replace or compete with Carroll. I could be wrong but thats the feeling I have.

i wud luv to see Torres come back to LFC.

him and saurez wud be a dream partnership.

maybe carroll in a swap deal for torres.

or torres n raul can swap clubs, on a season loan.

to be honest, if things to not improve for torres, he does not start scoring, i think he will move to barca in jan 2012 or the the summer

Not gonna happen. I reckon he left a lot of the current squad with a bad taste in their mouths, so I'd imagine him returning could upset the harmony of the dressing room. This is the lad who abandoned ship when the ship had sunk as low as it could, and was finally on it's way back up. Someone also made a valid point about his wages. We wouldn't be able to match the huge pay hike he'd have got to go to Chelsea, and Chelsea would never sell him back to us. He's theirs now. I reckon he'll turn things around this season, tbh.

As for everyone jumping on the 'bash Andy Carroll' bandwagon, can I just say i'm absolutely disgusted. There will come a time when judgement should be passed on him - and all of the other players - but that time is nowhere even close. I'm not just saying, this, I actually mean it - people should actually be ashamed of themselves for constantly knocking this lad. Yes, he hasn't looked the height of sharpness so far this season. We're 4 games into the season though. In those 4 games he's started 3, scored 1, and had another goal (in my opinion, harshly) disallowed. Playing crap or not, looking sharp or not, if he can keep that ratio up for the season, i'll be happy. Give the lad a f*cking chance, and stop moaning about how sh*te he is.

Torres is the past, and Carroll is the future. Get used to it, lads.
