Chelsea Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014/15

Killinator

fears he could be out for up to six weeks.
......has still not given up on facing Everton at Goodison Park.

So basically they haven't got a notion of what's going on and are picking up a twitter rumour while covering all bases at the same time.

Well that basically means we can't ship out Torres, no way would I be bringing in a new striker that we'd have to rely on for every game for a couple of months, players need time to settle and Drogs isn't upto leading the line for 90mins anymore... I'd hold onto Torres, give him a couple of games to see if he's hungry then hand it over to Schurrle (or maybe even Haz/Fab) after that.

Typical luck though, first time in a few years we've had striker's goals and he goes and get's crocked -_-

Put out a weaker team for that one. We're better off out of that third-rate competition. It's a pointless distraction, only useful for experimenting.

P1ss poor attitude, should be supporting the club in any competition they contest.

We have good players not getting in the team right now not necessarily weak either. experiment yes, wanting failure no!

Unless he agrees to about a 60%+ wage cut then he'll be going nowhere I wouldn't say.

A loan move with Chelsea paying half his wages could be on the cards but the player himself doesn't want a loan I don't think.

who knows we might make a "golden handshake" to get rid of him

Lukker-

Wonder if the club are down playing the extent of the injury so we don't get fleeced if we're trying to sign a new back up.

Maybe also waiting to see if they draw Roma in CL later too.

Fernando Torres' agent Antonio Sanz is reported to have told MilanNews that a deal to take his client to AC Milan is close. He said after meeting with Rossoneri officials:
The meeting has been positive. Torres at Milan is a possibility. We will take time to reflect before giving an answer. Milan are a great side.

Looks like he'll be going on a permanent deal with Chelsea paying him a lump sum as he still has 2 years left on his ~£150k a week contract. Wouldn't be overly impressed with him looking for a lump sum if I was a Chelsea fan given the complete failure he was at the club; he was treated well and given plenty of chances. If he went without a lump sum I'm sure he'd be fondly remembered, won a CL and Europa League... him taking the money and running would leave a bitter taste.

Torres was not in great form when we bought him and he never recovered the form of AM and his earlier Liverpool days. That was our gamble and it did not pay off, I honestly think he tried very hard but the harder he tried the worse he got. Given that he was not in great form and had not been for a while then really you can't blame Torres - I would not bracket him with the likes of Winston for example - so for me he is entitled to his windfall. It is a shame it did not work out but things happen at this stage I think best for all he moves on maybe with things a bit slower in Italy he might find some form.

If he goes though we do need to buy.

Rumours of a free transfer (Milan in Bosman signing shocker) with Torres signing a two year deal on reduced wages

hullaballoo

Free!? And approx £16m payday when he leaves. FFS, I've stood by Torres over the years he's been at the club but I'd not be into that at all.

Been doing some reminiscing today and looking at old matches. This is the match chose my team for me:

City group looks tough enough we should top ours, Liverpool should come second in theirs as should Arsenal.

Costa has been declared fit to face Everton apparently!!!

Rumours that you lot are going to pay Torres the remainder of his contract to push the move through.

Couldn't be the case could it? That must be about £16/£17m

Why not just keep him?

Waste of a place in the squad really. If Costa was injured for this weekend, would Torres coming in for him be any good ? Cut the losses now
