All Bets Off On Torres: Is That Good News For Chelsea?

Posted on July 27th, 2010 by Chelsea D

All bets are off on Torres or at least they are as far as the bookies are concerned because rumour has it that last night they stopped taking bets on us signing him!

Roy Hodgson has already admitted Torres isn’t happy at Liverpool, stating “Unfortunately, I cannot do much more. His beef is with the club and not me. Fernando’s situation has nothing to do with me, he made that perfectly clear over the phone during the World Cup and when I met him face to face. He knows what I would like to do with the club. He knows how much I value him. But his issues are with what has gone on in the past rather than the future. If he has problems with the club for things in the past, it is difficult for me to dismiss that. A lot of effort has been put in by the club to make Fernando feel comfortable at Liverpool this season and I can’t do much more. It is now for the club to satisfy him in whatever ways he needs satisfying.”

It goes without saying Citeh would want a look in, with Mancini suggesting “Torres is one of the best strikers in Europe and is already playing in the Premier League for three years and knows it very well. But it depends on his situation – his price and whether he wants to come”.

However, after a weekend full of stories suggesting we were planning a £60m move for the Liverpool striker, it seems the bookies could know something we don’t and I have to admit the thought of us signing the Spanish international still makes me pee a bit with excitement.

    same here too..
    i hope he pulls a ramires on citeh ;)
    i still have my doubts about him, but i have to admit he is one of the hottest strikers in Premier League and doesnt need any transition period. Furthermore, any doubters will drool at the prospect of having Drogba + Torres partnership.

    The best option for him is to go to Chelsea. Drogba is already old likewise Anelka. Chelsea is the best option to Torres

    Todays Hodgson quotes are saying hes staying at Liverpool. As Ancellotti said we dont need him. Let him rot at Liverpool in the Europa league there are plenty of other strikers out there that would cost a lot less and do exactly the same job as him. Lukaku would be a good signing and fit in well with the new squad laws that have been introduced. Wonder if Suarez would get on with Essien?

    I don’t want Torres at chelsea though he is a very good stricker and even a world class and one would be glad at the prospect of him pairing with Drog at chelsea but the only concern is about his fitness.i think Aguero fits the bill in terms of finance&youthfulness.Go for Aguero,he is dying 4 chelsea move.Blues till i die
