exactly - to the point where most fans who sang his name the loudest wouldn't want him back in a million years

You can hate someone after loving them - and vice versa - but you can't fall back in love - and i can't imagine not despisaing Torres and being utterly elated by the fact he currently looks the worst £50m player in the history of club football

Not quite true

He was pretty useless at the start of last season - he clearly didn't want to be at the club and being the greedy little sh*t he is he thought that was enough to warrant not even trying, but even then after Kenny took over he showed signs of a revival - scoring 3 goals in his last 3 games for the club

The season before that he started well but petered out as the seasonb went along to coincide with his awful form at the World Cup

Good riddance I say

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.....

YNWA


why do you want to pay £25-£30 million on a player who has scored 1 goal in 22 games???

People say that and hindsight's a brilliant thing but tbh I was absolutely gutted when he left

Like john Scales amongst others, I thought he'd find his feet pretty quickly at Chelsea and fire them into a title battle with Man Utd and all the press would be laughing at us and saying what mugs we were to let him go on trhe cheap

It didn't quite happen like that as we all know and whilst Torres's timing was unhelpful at best, it was the fact he was leaving at all that hurt most

now the shoe's on the other foot I hope he rots in the Chelsaea reserves and I hope none of our fans are even tempted to go soft on him when he returns to Anfield with his new Nazi brigade

IMO he's far worst that Michael Owen, Macca and any of the others who left

In fact he's wirst that Grobalar who used to make money out of conceeding goals whilst playing for us - and that's saying somethimg

If there is a classic parallel at LFC already it's Joe Cole. Has the talent, was not doing it at Chelsea and every excuse under the sun has come and gone since. Difference is you're talking a s5 million quid punt, not a free. Why on earth would we sign a player that would at that point been out of form for years?

It's an illogical poorly conceived notion and another disaster zone in the making.

Leave him there in the past.

There's always another out there and Kenny will find him if he hasn't with Carroll.

Out of interest, why do you think he's worse than Michael Owen?

I would never have him back he is shi**. He wanted to go to a "big club" and he has failed miserably there haha good enough for him. I was only thinking there other day that is probably the best bit of business (selling) that we ever did let's keep it that way!!

My new favourite pass time is checking Chelsea's results and laughing when the [oops] hasn't scored.

Because to be fair to him Michael Owen did at least want to come back to Liverpool and was fairly commited t9o the club when he played for us

Not so Torres who would never want to come back (even if fans wanted him to - which they don't) and who couldn't even be bothered to try at the start of last season for a club that was paying him 100g a week

And despite what anyone says - I've always hated Chelsea more than Man Utd because they are noit a real club

He is far worst than Owen IMO

Me too

I got as much pleasure from that in the 2nd half of last season as I did in the upturn in our own results under Kenny

That's fair enough. In my opinion though, Owen is worse than Torres. I could find it in my heart to forgive Torres eventually, but I don't think I could ever forgive Owen. I forgave Owen for leaving us for Real on the eve of the new season in 2004, I forgave him for losing his bottle and signing for Newcastle instead of holding out for Real to accept our lower bid, but I will never forgive him for signing for Man Ure. The way he's even gone on since moving to Man Ure just sickens me to my stomach. Owen wanted to come back to us with his tail between his legs because it didn't work out for him at Real, and we won the European Cup in his absence.
