Torres is back

He's just been playing in the wrong position. He's great at clearing the ball with an open net.

 

[Perfect Blue]

We got 50 Million for him XD

and spent it on Andy Carroll XDDDD

[Feorax]

Even then, I still think we got the better deal.

Cech
Courtois
Schwarzer
Torres

 

[wedward]

I expect the next announcement to be Vermaelen has been sold. Then after that we sign a CB. Doubt we announce a DM until late august.

Chelsea are going to win the league and Fabregas is going to be great. Fucking. hell.

 

[Arnie]

and spent it on Andy Carroll XDDDD

We sold Torres for £50 million and bought Suarez and Carroll for £57 million.

We then sold the pair of them for £92 million now we're back in the Champions League.

XDDDDD

Chambers expected to be announced on Mon, will join Austria camp. Ospina fee about £3m & #AFC still in market for DMF + DF if Vermaelen goes

Ornstein has spoken.

Have faith, wedward.

What the hell does that have to only if Verm goes?

 

[Salvadora]

What the hell does that have to only if Verm goes?

Because Wenger probably can see Chambers as fourth CB.

Just like Sagna was.

I mean what does Verm leaving have to do with getting a DM/DF?

Unless I am misreading the tweet

It means that we are still in the market for a DM and will only buy a CB if Vermaelen leaves.

Not ideal, but it is what it is.

 

[Mr.Marston]

"+ DF if Vermaelen goes"

Nothing to do with Arsenal signing a DM. We're still in the market for one whether he stays or goes.

 

[wedward]

Unless I am misreading the tweet

read the "+" as "and"

We are tin the market for a defensive midfielder

and a defender if Vermaelen leaves.

 

[flintstryker]

Cech
Courtois
Schwarzer
Torres

Well he did start his career as a keeper

 

[LFMartins86]

My god, that Mad Max trailer was absolutely insane.

The racism showcased by you and Linius blows my mind.

According to my agent mate AFC playing a clever game with midfield options. Progress is def occurring. Hopefully We won't try be too clever

Is there a compilation of Torres' misses since he left us? He never used to fuck these sitters up

XDDDDD

It's really just the Suarez part that makes up the positive spending there in both cases.

 

[Arnie]

It's really just the Suarez part that makes up the positive spending there in both cases.

Aye, obviously.

But either way since that deal we've made a £35 million profit and gone from 7th to 2nd.

It's been great for us. Imagine if we'd spent it on someone better than Carroll.

 

[GQman2121]

Speaking of Ronaldo. From Ferguson this week. Christ....

 

[omgkitty]

IT'S ON

GFN_France: David Ospina to RTL: "Szczesny has a lot of qualities, now I will show mine. We will see what decision the coach makes." #AFC #OGCN

Oh, yeah, true. It's crazy how much your squad has improved since then, when you look back on the likes of Adam, Caroll and Downing. And Joe Cole just before that.

This is the one I remember the most

[LNBL]

holy shit Torres has returned

Ospina sounds like he's dtf

 

[Arnie]

Indeed.

Needed a manager to come in with a specific profile of player in mind from which he wouldn't deviate from. Immediately Rodgers was able to look at Carroll and Adam and know they weren't needed.

Then we brought in players who fit the profile, like Coutinho and Sturridge, who can play with pace and with one touch.

Most of all, though, it's how we've improved certain players that stands out. Henderson is undroppable. When Rodgers first came in he was on the verge of moving to Fulham. Even players like Flanagan and Skrtel have improved massively.

 

[Messi]

This is the one I remember the most

He had a good game that day bar that screw up. Felt bad for him.

 

[GQman2121]

.

 

[jtb]

This is the one I remember the most

this miss re-destroyed Torres career

it's going to be sad watching Chelsea play with a competent striker this season

 

[Clegg]

Remember that one game against City last season when Torres played like he used to? Frightened the living shite out of them.

 

[Salvadora]

.

It's difficult to compare stats.

Szc's goals conceded are highly skewed by the heavy away defeats and Ospina plays in Ligue 1.

 

[arkon]

I'd love it if Torres went back to Atletico and regained his old form. Watching him in those first few seasons at Liverpool was amazing. Would love to see that player again.

 

[Fintan]

Yeah, he's had a few of those false dawns (Torres is back etc.) but he nearly always followed them up with a shit performance, or some sort of injury or suspension.

I live in hope that these Monaco or Atletico rumours are true, but I'm pretty sure he's unsellable at this point. A new start would be best for both parties probably.

 

[Patriots7]

I love this gif so much.

 

[jtb]

poor Ospina, he thinks he actually has a chance to win the job.

there is no keeper competition. Chesney will play every game in the league + CL barring injury. he is undroppable.

I'd love it if Torres went back to Atletico and regained his old form. Watching him in those first few seasons at Liverpool was amazing. Would love to see that player again.

that player is long dead, I think. not just because of the complete obliteration of his confidence (though, that obviously didn't help) but I think injuries have really caught up to him. lacks that extra bit of pace that made him so lethal.
