Torres is basically a rich mans Bebe.
Not quite lol
Torres is basically a rich mans Bebe.
No, because Bebe is a rich mans Heskey.Why not?
Bebe was bought for £7m and is absolute shite. Torres was bought for £50m and is a bit less shite.

Found these on twitter just now:

De Laurentiis: "My job is not to moralize but sometime I look football players in the eyes and I think: Come on, have another tattoo on your dick if you still have enough space."
De Laurentiis on the Coppa Italia: "Oh I enjoyed so much fucking them in the ass in Rome. I couldn't stand anymore listening to other fans singing our celebrating chants when they were winning."
De Laurentiis on friendly with Shanghai Shenua: "Actually they are shit but they have Drogba and Anelka, so to organize this friendly against them they asked me €120,000 + flights for our people + €15,000 for our accomodation. In the end, this will cost us €400,000€, but I didn't want to miss the chance to advertise Napoli in China."
De Laurentiis on Jovetic:"We are ready to pay him €30m and leave him one year to Fiorentina, but if he is uncertain and he makes me understand he is thinking about Barcelona, so you can go to fuck off."
Torres is an enigma who is worth having just on the odd chance he becomes unplayable for 10 minutes in a single match.
Torres is far better than Bebe. He's just dodgy half of the time since his Chelsea move.
He still manages a Euro 2012 Golden Boot award, so I don't think it's fair to compare him to Bebe.
Should wait and see Torres in the new Chelsea team. The service from Marin, Hazard etc will be good for him.
That's a better comparison than Bebe imo :lolPretty much.
He's a rich man's Shola Ameobi.
There was nothing wrong with Torres's service imo. It'd be like blaming Downing every time Suarez booted the ball at the keeper from 7 yards.
which I do
In a team game he was a team player. Popped up when it mattered a few times and on the whole provided a number of good performances.Football is a team game. Spain could easily mask the defiencies of Torres because they are so good. He scored twice against the worst team in the tournament and then against an already beaten Italian side.
Rich mans Bebe was only a joke but imo he's been nothing but bad since he moved to Chelsea. He wasn't very good in his last 6 months with Liverpool either. His speed has gone and he doesn't look confident anymore. I'd be willing to see if he can up his game with this new Chelsea squad. He needs to tbh. He was a very peripheral player in Chelseas success last season.
There was lots wrong with the service for Torres (and Drogba), Chelsea hasn't even had a competent winger all season. But of course Torres has also been completely shit himself for Chelsea. He has however shown more than enough times he's not just some shit player who only managed to get where he is now because the manager of the team wanted to help out one of his corrupt friends. Will be interesting to see this season though, if he manages to find back his form or not, I doubt it and think Chelsea will end up spending big money on Cavani or Falcao in the winter.
That's a better comparison than Bebe imo :lol
2002-03: Atletico Madrid 3 Barcelona 0 - Scored the first to give Atletico half time lead.
2004-05: Atletico Madrid 1 Barcelona 1 - Scored three minutes into second half to level Van Bronckhorst opener.
Barcelona 0 Atletico Madrid 2 - Scored in the first minute and then a penalty in the last.
2005-06: Atletico Madrid 2 Barcelona 1 - Scored equaliser after 18 minutes before Kezman’s second-half winner.
Barcelona 1 Atletico Madrid 3 - Opened the scoring before half time and wrapped it up with a second 14 minutes from time.
Barcelona 2 Chelsea 2 - Garynevilleorgasm.mp3

Of course he never lived up to the hype. But I got quite annoyed last season at much of his bad press. Often he got called lazy and disinterested, which as somebody who only missed one half of a Chelsea game all last season, I can say with certainty is not true. That's why I like him. Even in his lowest of low moments scoring no goals, he fought for the team and provided a lot. Now a lot of people, even Chelsea fans will say that's not his job, but if he provides goals to win games then for me, he's provided for the team, which is more important than individual achievements.
I honestly can't see him being poor this season with the players he'll have sitting behind him. We will see.
Speculation from me but I think Torres will be the reason Chelsea aren't in the top two by the end of this season. I think he's that bad. Also you forgot to mention the times he refused to take penalties throughout last season which is a piss-poor showing for a £50 million striker.
Torres doesn't take penalties, in fact ask Liverpool fans, I'm fairly certain he rarely ever took them for Pool either. And the times he "refused" he hadn't been chosen to take them, it was the other players trying to give him an opportunity to score, and he didn't take them because he wasn't selected. He said as much in interviews.Speculation from me but I think Torres will be the reason Chelsea aren't in the top two by the end of this season. I think he's that bad.

I agree. I really like him, he seems like a nice bloke (although ultimately that matters very little). He can put in good performances and because I know he's capable I like to have him around. But if he can't turn it around this season then he probably should go. For everyone's sake really, no point in us having a guy we can't use, and no point in him playing somewhere he can't.Don't think I'll completely write Torres off just yet. He was so good for do long that he deserves at least one more season to prove himself. If he has another poor season then Chelsea will have to make some hard decisions about his future.
It's been 2 years since he had a good season.
Cool. Is the game at 18:30 GMT?

Huh? I just mean he seems to keep him self to himself outside of football and he seems to get on well with his team mates. He doesn't come across as a ballbag is all I mean really.I wouldn't be taken in for a second by Torres' media persona if I were you.
Torres is an enigma who is worth having just on the odd chance he becomes unplayable for 10 minutes in a single match.
Birmingham fucking City friendly on US TV followed by a damn Newcastle friendly both full games but no Villa game. Its like I am being deliberately taunted.
All the talk whilst he was at Liverpool was that he kept himself to himself at training. He trained well, and he was always very professional but he was never the loud mouth 'banter' player who'd G everyone up, or crack loads of jokes, that was and still is Pepe for us.Huh?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he loves Chelsea or anything and that the club means everything to him. He'll move on if he has to. I however wont be burning shirts if does, a la them eejits on SSN the night he switched.
Is AVTV not covering it?
I want to be surprised, I really doQuick kit review: Man Utd Away 12/13
Light comfortable material, much like Netherlands away kit. Crest stitched and nicely set. Black and white crest looks good. Collar is not bad when buttoned up, looks bad when not. Buttons for collar feel cheap and feel like they will break easily. Hard to use also, quite small.
Comeon' son
Surprised by the comfort. Would buy at 50
8/10
The preseason cups are seriously stupid. Glorified training sessions, except one of them is actually cursed.
Resist your inner DNA Conte and don't go for the win! We don't want any injuries please.
edit: Spurs made an offer to Borriello. wut?
