Torres: LFC fans have loving words for me

[Mook]

Absolutely stinking it up in Italy apparantly. What the hell happened to this fella? Has a player ever fallen so far?

I can't think of one, he was scarily good for us for a while.

[Section_31]

Was easily one of the best players I'd ever seen when he was at us.

[Bjornebye]

Not been following how he has done over there

 

Not arsed either. 

[stringvest]

well, he is living proof that if you pull a face and the wind changes, you'll be stuck like that forever.

[Harry Squatter]

General Zod put him in an ice chamber after the 2010 World Cup and he lost all his special powers.

[Trumo]

Something definitely happened to him in 2010 that has turned him into a shell of a footballer, and I don't think it was the injury.

[kalasoma]

He's won World, Euro and club honours. Maybe there's nothing left to really play for. Just running out the remnants of his Chelsea contract, then end career at Atletico Madrid.

[Bjornebye]

Still would have been a better option than any of our fit strikers

[Jairzinho]

Seen Milan play a few times this year, Torres isn't comically bad any more, he's just "meh".

[kalasoma]

I dunno. Watched a bit of the Milan derby and, well, 'meh' is about accurate.

[Grinch]

Cunt....there's a word.

Could be bollocks but a mate of a mate works for The Guardian Football section & apparently our medical team had told Chelsea's medical team at the time we sold him that he's legs were fucked, this was relayed up the hierarchy at Chelsea & a certain Russian told them he wanted Torres anyway regardless of the cost involved.

 

As I said, could be utter bollocks but it certainly makes sense in the context.

 

Plus, Torres is a big stupid twat anyway.

So, they offered to buy a broekn player for £50 million and we tried to put them off?  I was going to say that doesn't make sense but, you know what, it probably does. 

[ratcatcher]

I never believe these 'someone told someone else someone said something' stories.

[Tony Moanero]

I never believe these 'someone told someone else someone said something' stories.

Neither do I.

[scudger99]

I was advised not to believe stories like that by the friend of an acquaintance who heard it from someone else who read it off a bus station toilet wall.

Which means it's all fucking legit.

[Chairman Meow]

Didn't Usher say around the time that we expected him to fail the medical at Chelsea?

When I first went to hospital about my damaged right knee at the tender age of 16 the surgeon actually used the phrase "your knee is fucked". Not really the kindest bedside manner although I did appreciate his candour.

That was heavily reported at the time also. I remember the day after he signed a few people here saying the club had fully expected him to sent starght back up to Liverpool once the medical was started.

 

He's been awful every single time since he eft us.  Even in Italy; a league I'd fancy us to be top half in; he looks awful.  If he was with us now we'd be even worse, if that's possible.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

His collapse at Chelsea is still worth laughing at.

[scudger99]

He's made more appearances for the rent boys than he did for us ?

Fucking hell, that has surprised me.

The flame that burns twice as bright...

 

The epitome of damaged goods.

[Tony Moanero]

People are still going on about Torres?

[scudger99]

Wasn't she a character in Lie to Me ?

[Bjornebye]

I used to want to fuck him.

[Preston Red]

His best years with us coincided with him playing with an obviously younger Gerrard and I think more importantly Alonso. After we sold Alonso, Stevie was half the player and Torres started to go to shit. The 09/10 season showed just how important Xabi was to our attacking play after he'd gone and it's looking that way with us this season after selling Suarez.

 

Depressing times...
