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.
2o million for that douche, 20 quid maybe
This reply system really stinks.
Don’t understand the concerns about Tevez’ attitude. Both Gallas and Adebayor have been as good as gold since they’ve been here, why would Tevez be any different? I don’t think for a second it will happen, but I’d welcome it if it did.
Pre-bloody-cisely. :happy:
Unc, you appear to be putting a lot of faith in Adebayor’s current disposition. History tells you that he was always cheerful, hardworking and a pleasure to play with in all of his previous clubs. But four times with four clubs, he’s fallen out with the managers and the fans and that’s no coincidence. First it seems his workrate drops off, which without, he’s a pretty average player, then he gets dropped-sulks and finally wants away. It’s OK for City to take a hit, but for us, it could be terminal. Also he’s already stated our wage structure will be a problem, so it could be case of putting our few cherished eggs into a single basket. On the evidence so far, he’s a quality player and right up our street, but and it’s a huge but,can he and will he be content to graft and repay the faith many seem to have?
Grant Holt for 3million and a full oatbag to strap around his neck, please!
If we pay a top, top, top, player more money, we don’t have to tell any body.
