No Like Second Hand Fridge

Good morning. And hear me out.

The Daily SiegHeil is running with the tale that Fernando Torres ‘the artiste formerly known as Liverpool’s number nine’ could be an affordably priced casualty of the AVB revolution at Second Hand Fridge.

I say we ship him in. The old phrase, ‘form is temporary but class is permanent‘ is actually cobblers. What people crave is consistency. Let’s face it, how many players have we had in recent years who wrote us endless IOU’s but failed to deliver?

My theory in relation to Torres’ career going toilet-wards is simple. The players didn’t want him. If ever there was a club with a clique it is Chelsea. Drogba had the most to lose watching a few of their games together, Drog’s contempt was thinly veiled. Defoe’s passing in the 18 yard box is more generous.

So if he was transplanted into a side that actually wanted him, he’d do the business. Repeated hamstrings  and strains have probably taken some edge off him from when at his very very best, but he’s looked as fit as a butcher’s dog  from what I’ve seen of him.

And what would make any deal all the sweeter of course, is doing this after upgrading Modric’s contract.

    Not sure about that one HH, hes lost his edge and a yard of pace. If he could be as was its a definite.

    Drogba off to African Nations Cup, as is Kalou, Anelka off to China, leaves AVB with 3 front men. No chance Torres is coming.

    If ever there is one manager who can motivate troubled players its SAF ( Cantona ). Or HR ( Di Canio ) he could do wonders with Torres AND Tevez. Sell Pav and Gio and let these 2 bring home the Premiership. But as most people are saying ” They wont sell to thier rivals ” So the feck should we ( Moddle , Sandro or Bale to Chelski or ManUre ). Now if it is only one from Tevez or Torres who would you choose ? Me says….Tevez and tell him ManCini slagged off his Mum.

    Firstly i have information why he has suffered burn out at Liverpool carried on at Chelsea but trust me we bought Palacios 12 million Pienaar all from my area. So if you want our club too gamble on Torres ex Liverpool and Duracell Bunnies. Then good luck because Stoke gave you a glimpse of what energy can do too a very good team for 45 mins and a doge ref and is assistants. All we need is a goalkeeper who comes for crosses and this High Tempo and a decent ref because he can do more harm than any false tempo and we are proof.

      Dav, can you explain to me why we looked far fitter than Stoke for the entire 90mins? Stoke were predictably one dimensional and directly we held onto the ball better and swopped things around they were a spent force, but as for energy levels, they looked buggered at the end where we certainly didn’t or maybe Foy and his team drank their whoopee juice and it effected their judgement,like it does to hypoactive infants
