How to get him off our pay roll!

I would even swap torres for stephan el shaarawy!!

im pretty sure torres won't leave , no where will he get that payroll ANYWHERE , and why would they want a 28 yr old out of form striker for a 23 yrold who shows massive potential

edit Hooper might not be that good a buy since my mate has just informed me that Neil Lennon values him @ £35 million

Torres' best days are behind him, it wrecks my heart to say it but that's the truth of the situation. It's gonna do a lot of good, if we get him off our books quickly!

What do u think of this picture: Cech-3-2-3-2-----Ivanovic Cahill Ryan-Ramires Fellani-Mata Hazard Oscar-Suarez Falcao. Sub: Azpi, Wallace, Moses, Lukaku, Okore, Josh, Annholt, De Bruyne, Willian, Piazon, Blackman. Sell Luiz, he is worse than Torres.

we need a world class team in full and not anything in halves with likes of Mikel, Romeu, Sturridge, Torres, Luiz...Terry, Lampard and Cole are legends, they need to give way to fresh legs.

Here we go again. "we can actually pay £5-10m plus Torres for either of Jovetic, Pato or Lewandowski, tempting I must say." How will Fiorentina, AC Milan or Dortmund afford his salary?

Look...Torres needs to be either sold or loaned out. He will not be happy as the #2 backup and his sulking will affect the remainder of the team especially Mata.. So he must leave. It will be best for him as he needs a new start to regain his own confidence. Just get him out a here.

Hold on where is this 'sturridge should be sold' talk coming from? The guy had a great game yesterday a were it not for myhill being on fire would have won us the game. He is not a goal scorer? that is laughable considering he scored 16 goals from out wide, where he was out of position and hardly featured in the second half of the season. He also scored 12 in 12 for Bolton prior to that showing in fact he is a natural goal scorer. If there is someone to blame for him not scoring blame RDM for not giveing him enough match time to get him sharp. I am 100% convinced that he will score bag full of goals if he were to be give a string of starts and was more match sharp. his record doesn't lie.

Ess...DaBison...Sturridge will not sign a contract extension so he would leave this summer for free. So, if he is sold in January..Chelsea will get something for him...otherwise he walks for free. Chelsea must sell him in January to receive money to fund a new CF.

Dear Hazard 11, why would Torres leave Chelsea? NO club in the world will pay him the ridiculous wages we do so we are stuck with him for the rest of his contract. We can't force a player to leave!!!

I agree with most here that something needs to be done about Torres and I agree that we might want to take another look at sturridge too, I keep getting the feeling of selfishness from him. He seems to want to play to showcase himself than for the team sometimes.If he is to remain with us, he can't be our main striker. However one player that seem to worry a lot lately is David Luiz. Considering the amout of stupid goals we have conceeded in the last couple games, somebody need to tell this erratic young man to stick to his job of defending. Defence used to be one of our main strenghts now every tom dick and harry scores ridiculous cheap goals against us most of which have been defensive blunders. We need to do something about our defence!!

After yesterdays game I have given up on Torres he does not fit into the system we play I thought service from our midfield was the real problem for his failure in Blue but know I have to come to realise the truth the problem is Torres himself the guy does not look interested in playing for the shirt. So yes I agree its in the best interests of the club that we part company with Torres and bring in a new striker if we are challenge for domestic and European honours.

He would take a pay-cut to rejoin A. Madrid, and Falcao moves in the opposite direction, we can put in an extra £25-30m in the deal. I think its too early to over-criticise Sturridge, he played badly yesterday and deserved the stick he got but I think he needs some games.

its amazing ur all slating danny who was our brightest spark yesterday & who looked better movement wise than torres has all season but not one person noticed how crap hazard played yesterday & marin still didnt get a game what the hell??

Sturridge is an upgrade over Torres..no doubt about it...But since Sturridge will move in January...why waste all this time..blah..blah..blah..about Sturridge. He is moving on...We all agree that Sturridge needs to start the remainder of the games at CF over Torres...but realize since he won't extend his contract he will be moving on in January.

@Gondo don't know which game you were watching were Harzard was crap:-( oh, i see, you must have been watching a different game to the rest of us and that's why you noticed!! I for 1 thought Cahill and Harzard were our best players before mata came on.

i love hazard but all he did yesterday aside from score the goal was lose the ball & then stand around looking at the ref especially in the second half

I don't agree with you about Sturridge cause he looked good yesterday. If he had enough playing game like our "50 mill" Striker he wouldve been scoring a lots of goals for us. About Torres you r right he is not that Torres we all wanted to see now cause he's finished.

@ess..Dabison even though im a big chelsea fan but at this time i wish sturridge would move to another club with a coach and fans that appreciate what he can do. its really crazy the double standard with torres and sturridge..this fool fernando been playing garbage for 2 years not once been booed fans go out their way to make excuses for him..yesterday played like straight caca and we saw how a cf suppose to play in sturridge his movement ball control balance the shots etc..yet a lot of us say well his garbage because he missed some chances which by the way were unlucky and good goal keeping. the way he played yesterday was 80% good 20% bad. some people are talking like his been playing cf for the whole freaking season saying things like our center forwards.. really we only been playing one since yesterday. torres is garbage. fans really have short memories huh. the beginning of the season Suarez yes Suarez wasn't finishing his chances did that make him a bad finisher no he had to get into a rhythm of things. giroud from arsenal same thing. now people are talking about we should get el shaarawy cause his banging goals in at this moment hmmm somewhat like danny did last year scored a beauty against sunderland, new castle, had a double at bolton, won the man city match for us even though he didn't score... but again that was last year right.. smdh Sturridge is rusty for lack of playing, he didnt sign a new contract because for one the manager didn't rate him i assume that because why else play torres for that long period of time but now he saw a clear difference between torres and sturridge i believe he will start on Tuesday. but like i say i hope sturridge play untill jan score lots of goals so we can still claim a championship place and he can move on to another club like liverpool... and chelsea can get another expensive striker that's no really not guarantee to be a hit.

If only we had gotten berbatov when he was at tottenham , didnt have a striker problem then though , he would have done us good in the long run , I always admired him even though I hated spurs.

Guys lets go easy on Danni. Any hungry player in his situation would have the same selfishness. He behaves this way because he needs to prove himself in a short time, and assisting will not help him take Tores' place. I was really happy with his performance as a center forward when tores came out, he made great runs and was desperately eager to score with all means. NB: DO NOT SELL DANNI, HE HAS EVERYTHING A STRIKER NEEDS TO BE WORLD CLASS. PLAY HIM MORE, HE IS TWICE BETTER THAN TORES.

Sturridge won't leave the club,because he wont be able to find another unrivalary side which is competitive enough to challenge titles or CL spot.We wont sell to either Utd or City,while all L'pool,Arsenal or Spurs will be a step backwards in his career.If he starts playing regularly for us,which judging by RDM's actions vs WBA he should,at a certain point he'll start banging goals and this might well persuade either side to sign a new deal.But Torres is a dead soul after the supercup,perhaps he knows a little bit more than us and feels that his days at the Bridge are over.

great points @Blue_yank....

Desmond how will a playmaker give you through ball when you didn't make a run? How will our three amigos give him an hollywood pass if he just standing static kissing opposition defender?

Fans here just realizing what has been very obvious for a long time now. Torres is stuck with us, he is the biggest mistake and the worst signing in world history. He is going nowhere cos no one will want a liability but we shouldnt let him bring us down with him by continuing to play him. Put him on the bench or send him to the reserves and play danny until january. Danny cant be any worst, infact no striker can be worst than torres right now. But we need to do something urgent to save our dressing room now. Torres wages is bigger than that of mata, oscar, ramires put together. Soon enough they too will start complaining. Chelsea have to do something decisive now like they did with malouda.

HOW THE F$&KI& HELL TORRES GOT 32 % ON THIS POLL I DONT KNOW, BUT I AM STARTING TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS HERE, ALL OF YOU NO GOOD CHEARLEADER ********! REALLY MAKE ME SICK TO THE POINT I DONT FELL LIKE EATING

@Desmond, I would like to believe that was sarcasm?, your last post.

@raybell, mate it beáts my imagination what my comments mean, bcOs I freakout on every matchdays when nando plays

I won't be surprise if RDM starts Torres again and again. I'm tired of Contributing on this very issue. whether we sell Torres or not we must sign at least 2 new strikers, Falcao and another, cos I sure as hell wouldn't want us to have to go back to Torres if Falcao gets suspend for a game or worse, injured.

How many clubs can afford to pay him 120k
