Torres

[BLUEMOONISRISING]

i wouldn't want tevez in the premier league coming back to haunt us. have we not learned lessons from adebayor and bellamy ?

Adebayor can't play against us so hardly likely to score....

As for haunting us, you won't be saying that when he bags against the rags in a few weeks! :-)

so you want tevez staying in the prem and to swap him with a guy who couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo ? we would be ridiculed

I don't want to swap tevez for Torres, I'm just saying that Torres would fit into our team.

Torres is a confidence player, when he bangs a few in and gets his confidence back you will all see there aint many better in the PL.

I dont think we need a target man ala Dzeko, I think we should play with a front 3 like Barca, all interchangeable, quite small players who are technically gifted and can control the ball in tight spaces without constantly giving it away.

I agree with you except about torres, i think he's shot and he should go back to spain

We already have a 'confidence player,' think I'll pass on any more.

Do you not think that Silva is exactly what he needs?

I look at the way Silva and Aguero link up Silva and Tevez last season and I just think that they would both thrive off each other.

I'm not trying to get at Dzeko as you can't argue with his scoring record, just not convinced yet, his heading, first touch and shooting all appears to be a bit hit and miss for me

Watching a few Spain games might give an indication on that but Torres doesn't even get much of a sniff for them either. if we want a striker then i would go after one of the Napoli lads

Yeah I tend to agree, Lavezzi would be my preferred choice as he can play on the right and has a lot of pace which we strangely seem to be lacking at the mo!

But he has become a shit player overnight..........................the reason? No wingers at Chelsea, and since we dont play with out and out winger's either, its likely to produce the same resut..........................disasterous idea.

He was bad for Liverpool in the latter stages, bad for Spain and bad for us. Three different supporting casts, one featuring the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso and Busquets; and none of them could restore his form. I've been backing him since he arrived, but after a year of poor performances, with one spell early this season where he was looking good, you've just got to concede that he's a spent force. I think he should be sold to a slower league like Italy where his considerable pace (which he still has) can still be exploited. He could be rejuvenated out there.

Physically he is absolutely fine. The problem with him is he hesitates so much. He is afraid to shoot and makes bad decisions, usually involving extra touches meaning his chance is gone. Recently he's become a bit of a playmaker to compensate for it but I don't think he'll ever be as prolific as he used to be.

Agreed - and sort of reminds you of one we own already - Dzeko..............................

Don't agree with most of the above you are seriously telling me that Torres needs wingers to flourish? Don't ever recall him being the potent header in the box player

What torres needs is an interchanging front line full of trickery, and most of all intelligence, he doesn't get that from Chelsea, there is only Mata that ticks those boxes and as a new player into the team, Mata is still finding his way into their system.

Class is permanent as the saying goes, he is shot to pieces and I don't think the English Media help with that so maybe going back to spain would help - Send him back to Atletico and free up Falcao for us :-)

 

[20sbc07]

If we can get him on the cheap then we should go for it, if not then there's better options out there.

I think swapping Tevez for him is a terrible idea, as much as we hate Tevez now you can't deny his talent. He's one of the best strikers there is when he wants to be, I'd prefer he was out of the country.

Yes then Chelsea and AVB would have to deal with his - i want to be near home routines every other month - sure the likes of Terry etc would love that

Torres doesnt play better with wingers. He likes through balls. Look at his time at Liverpool. Gerrard playing him in plenty of times. Same when they played the Rags, he was put through twice. this is the service he needs. He'd get that from Silva but I personally think he'll never recover his Liverpool form so a no from me.

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

I know I might get slated for this but would you have him for 30mil? You don't become a shit player over night I reckon he would be a class player in our team . If we can offload tevez

Your right it has taken him 2 years to become a shit player and Liverpool beating his body like a dog so he could play....

Cavani is the striker we should be targeting in the summer.

Aguero and Cavani would be awesome together with Dzeko coming in when one needs a rest.
This season we would have been fine if Tevez had been committed to his job. Balotelli is class but needs to grow up and deal with his issues. I know he is still youngish but acting like a spoilt 14 year old is getting him into trouble even more with the refs/FA/Press.

Torres looks absolutely shot.

In theory only I'm afraid. Dzeko needs to be a regular starter, and deserves to be considering his goal scoring history. He is not an impact sub and we will never see his full potential if he is used "when our regular strikers needs a rest".

The way I see it, Dzeko (and Aguero) is a given starter whenever he is fit enough, or Manchester City is just not the team he should be playing for. Love the guys attitude and persona, but to keep him around just for a sub appearance now and then is simply wrong.

If someone high-profile like Cavani came in, well that should be the end of Dzeko or Balotelli.

In edit: Yes I agree Cavani and Aguero, supported by Silva and Nasri, should form a magnificent and lethal partnership on the pitch. Easily the best attack in the world.

Absolutely spot on! I think Cavani is perfect too, and I believe Mancini will target him in the summer.

No love for RVP guys?

The guy is very getable being in teh last year of his contract. Likely to not to be involved in Champs League with Arsenal and no new signings. I would go hell for leather to sign him if I were Roberto. Cavani is immense I agree but he would cost £50million or something stupid. RVP has great pedigree in the Prem too, that would be the deciding factor with the fact he is likely to cost £15-20m less.

 

[Akira]

I would do a straight swap for Tevez right now!

Torres may just need a change of scenery and need better players around him, there is no doubting on his day what a top player he is.

Silva, Aguero, Nasri and Torres


Not too shabby.

DO THE MATH!!

Tevez = 35m least.
Torres = 20m max.

Us = Title contenders.
Chelsea = Title rivals.

Tevez = 20++ goals last season.
Torres = .



Trade? Fuck no.

I'd rather have Torres, at least he's contributing.
